Abstract

The broadcasters’ perception of its consumers is an important consideration in the successful acquisition of animated character productions. The article will focus on the different types of audience that is to be acknowledged when creating professional character based transcultural animated entertainment. It will determine how a character’s design must fit within distinct audience archetypes. The articles’s research will be contextualised with previous successful character design, and will look at successful designers and their co commissioners that have created transcultural work such as the Frankenstein’s Cat (McKinnon & Saunders: UK / Kayanta Studios: France) and Luo Bao Bei (Cloth Cat Animation: UK / Magic Mall: China). The paper’s ultimate aim is to identify a formula to create engaging animated characters.
