Analysis of the Apparent Formability of Good and Evil Forces in Iranian Myths to be Reflected in the Design of Animation and Puppet Show Characters

Due to the full ability to create dreamy characters and imaginary spaces، animation productions have more possibilities than using visual fantasy compared to other types of performances.. The purpose of this research is to examine the exact way of describing the appearance of Minoan creatures in Iranian myths، for the correct narration of Iranian legends in a manner consistent with the Iranian attitude towards mythological creatures، which can be represented and cited in animation art due to their nature. For comparison and exact matching، the mentioned creatures are divided into two categories in terms of function: Sapente (good) and Angre (evil). In both categories، they are classified in terms of ability and status، and based on the ancient texts of Persian literature، the external signs and the way of representation of each have been extracted and specified. The present research is of a descriptive and analytical type. It has been done in the library method and with the approach of disciplinary discourse (adaptation) and the inferential (qualitative) method has been used in it. The results show that considering the dualism or duality of all creation in the majority of ancient Iranian texts، Sepante Minwan and Angre Minwan are easily recognizable and depicted. The force of good is always described with a simple awe، with general expressions without mentioning details، bright، fragrant and beautiful. On the other hand، the evil force، the giant، the black sheep with the ablaq، with unusual body parts، animal-like، and on the opposite point، Izdan are described.
