In the famous Hollywood movie Hunger Games Catching Fire it applies the propp theory. It applies the propp theory that katniss everdeen also known as the girl on fire is shown to be the protagonist who is on a quest to take down the capitol and keep her family safe. In the hunger games the antagonist would be President Snow as he is aiming to take down katnisss everdeen without sparking a revolution so he has made a games called the quarter quell where every victor from the previous games over the years who is still alive shall return and face the other victors for a special hunger games with the objective to get katniss everdeen killed. In this trailer the propp theory is shown again when haymitch is shown to be the mentor. Haymitch is shown as the mentor when he is trying to help her get through the games and telling her what to do before the hunger games so she can get as much sponsors as possible. 

Todorovs theory of equilibrium is also shown in the trailer of the hunger games catcing fire. The equilibrium is shown when katniss is at home with gale (District 12). The de-equilibrium is shown when their are young adults burning the flag of the capitol shouting in a state of anger as if a riot is about to break, their is also riot police with bats and fire everywhere. The new equilibrium will not be shown as it is a trailer.
