huanim1-6, Exercise 1: Wordless comedy

Model answer:

Without dialogue the humour rests on movement, timing and visual gags, which need no language. Very young children, who are still learning to speak, can follow a chase, and a foreign audience needs no dubbing or subtitles, so the series travels easily.

A drawback is that complex plots and verbal jokes are not possible. Details of the series should be checked.
