Art In the Media: Two Stupid Dogs (Secret Squirrel) and Wizards of Waverly Place

I just wanted to show how the media portrays modern art, and art in general. If you grew up in the 90s you might remember the classic Cartoon Network show Two Stupid Dogs. Secret Squirrel was a short cartoon that always played in between segments of Two Stupid Dogs, like an intermission. I thought this clip was not only funny, because it's art related, but funny because it's on a show called Two Stupid Dog's.

This other video is of a more recent show on Disney Channel. It isWizards of Waverly Place. In this clip, Alex has to do a art exhibition report, but is running out of time due to the museum closing in five minutes. Instead of looking at the art, she uses magic to bring the art literally to life. Now, I know Disney only used these artworks for fun, but in reality, these pieces do not belong in the same gallery. For one thing, the Mona Lisa is located in the Louvre, in Paris, France. Also, it would never be hung on the wall. It would be, as it is now, behind bullet-proof glass with hundreds of people forcing their way through a crowd just to snag a peek at it. However, again, I know Disney only did it for entertainment purposes.
