This week I have titled my dissertation: Exploring character design and its cultural significance in the Pixar film Coco.
Rather than discussing the impact of cultural differences on animated characters, I thought it would be better to examine how to create great animated characters with a strong cultural atmosphere. With the animated films I have seen so far, I think COCO is one of the most iconic animated films, with the production team combining Mexican culture and animation with each other, as well as the film being well received in Mexico. Of course, there are many other great cultural fusion animated films, such as Luca and Moana.
