Cartoons

Cartoons are shown (and heard) where nonsense is around.

Most notable is the use of Roadrunner narrative music as we meet Wendy and Danny and then later on as we see the reality of what living in the hotel is like for them.

Cartoons/their likeness is also shown as stickers outside of Danny’s bedroom, on his curtains, and playing in the background of Durkin’s garage.

One could argue that Jack becomes a cartoon as he taunts Wendy with “little pigs, little pigs let me come in”, and I’ve put that within “Play vs. Violence”.
