Target audience
Target audience
For this section of my research i will be gathering information into my target audience and how to appropriate cater towards them. I will do this by gathering information on what audience's like and dislike about different animation styles/types. As this will help ensure that my final product is aimed at the correct audience to achieve the most success for this project.
Animation
Primarily through history the medium of animation has been targeted towards children. Yet over recent years there has been an evolution in the audiences that enjoy animation. this is due to animation becoming more diverse with mature themes, which helps engage an older audience. This evolution within animation allows it to be targeted towards an immense range of audiences as it depends on the themes used and what audience you want to cater towards.
For my project i will be focusing on which audiences enjoy Stylized, realistic and animal animation (anthropomorphism). The audiences that enjoy these styles vary and it is important i learn what to include so i can produce the most effective animation that caters towards them.
(Educational Voice, 2024) (Jokubaitis, 2024)
Stylized
Stylised can appeal to many audiences due to the diverse themes that can be used when working with this style. it can be aimed towards adults by including more mature themes, Towards children who were the original audience for this style, using brighter colours and more extravagant character designs.
THis style can also cater towards a range of cultural and language groups by including certain themes within this style of animation. Below are a explorations of successful stylised animations from a range of cultures and locations. (Heydari, 2023)
Spiderman into the spiderverse (2018)
Spiderman into the spider verse was made using the software MAYA. An industry standard software used for animation.
-----------------------------------------
This movie was given a parental guidance rating due to the violence and gore, profanity and frightening moments. This movie is primarily targeted towards a younger audience. This is because the movie includes important life lessons, educational values and inspiring role models. THese are generally themes that appeal and targeted towards a younger audience. Yet these roles can also appeal to a wider audience due to the lessons given in this movie.

Below is a review written by a user of rotten tomatoes named Kevin P
'An amazing lighting-in-a-bottle love letter to Spiderman that breaks the mold with its ethereal blend of 2D and 3D animation that really makes the movie feel like a moving comic book. The characters are all so well realized and bounce of each other with great chemistry. It’s funny, it’s action-packed, it’s all around breathtaking and easily my favorite Spiderman movie.'
This review mentions how the mix of 2D and 3D makes the movie feel like a moving comic book and how well characters are done. This helps entice people as it might be something people haven't seen before.
While these are aspects i can't directly implement into my own animation to target this audience. i can make sure that my facial animations are of high quality by providing them with a good sense of character. With hopes of evoking the same feelings present in this Spiderman movie.
-----------------------------------------
To create this movie they used a new rendering style of mixing CGI and hand drawn elements to achieve the stylised look of the movie.
-----------------------------------------
This movie was made by an American studio. Yet this movie is aimed at no particular country and can be appreciated by many cultures and people due to the diverse nature of the film.
-----------------------------------------
This movie made almost $400 million during its run at the box office. This fact makes me aware that if themes such as the ones present in this movie are done successfully it create a piece of media that is popular with its target audience and beyond.
-----------------------------------------
To conclude this movie was successful due to its visulas and compelling characters and diverse themes that typically appeal to a younger audience but can entertain anyone.(Lopez Restrepo, 2023) (Lukas Shayo, 2023) (P, 2024) (Sandie Angulo Chen, 2018)
Arcane (2021)
Arcane was made using MAYA. AN industry standard software for animation.
----------------------------------------------------------
This tv series was given a 12 rating due to the violence, nudity, drugs, swearing and intense scenes. Arcane is primarily targeted towards a teenage audience due the the mature themes included within. In addition arcane is based on a video game that has a PEGI rating of 12 as it includes similar themes to the show. Some of the primary themes that help it cater towards it audience are aspects such as Morality, Family, Rebellion, class divides that appeal to their target audience. While these themes are typically aimed at an age range of 12-18 it can also appeal to ages 18+ as some of the messages in the show are universal to all ages.
----------------------------------------------------------
Below is a review my friend wrote after watching arcane.
'Arcane sets the beginning of the story beautifully with the opening scene linking and foreshadowing to the end. It introduces the main character and his motives and reasons for becoming an inventor. The first arc allows the audience to understand and potentially relate to certain characters later on. The use of trauma and mental health issues is done beautifully by the creators to the point where you start to realise how bad it can be in reality. The character development throughout the show is incredible, especially for powder/jinx. Her journey and story is touching as she has a lot of trauma that her friends and family help her deal with. In season 2, the relationships between the characters get exponentially closer and more complex.espevially through ekko, isha and her sister Vi. Stepping aside from the incredible character development within arcane, the story itself is what can only be described as a masterpiece. The great build up, the ingenious foreshadowing and the explosion of a climax leaves the audience lost for words as they can only keep watching in awe. Arcane is, without a doubt one of the best shows of the year, and many fans would probably even argue the decade.'
This review helped give me insight into what intrigues people when watching arcane. Some aspects that this review talks about are character development, World building and the story of arcane.
While these are aspects i cannot directly implement into my project i can gain inspiration from them. as i can now make sure that my facial animations portray good emotion and character with the hope of achieving a similar result to what is present in arcane.
----------------------------------------------------------
One of the ways Arcane uses it style is by implement squash and stretch within the movements of the characters in the show. This help the shows unique look and feel that helps entice viewers.
---------------------------------------------------------
Arcane was produced in France by a studio named Fortiche. It hard to say how much money arcane has produced as it is on a streaming service. Yet the social impact and discussions that arcane has created cannot be understated.
----------------------------------------------------------
TO conclude, Arcane is a massively popular show that uses a unique animation style with a range themes that people have grown to appreciate and love.

Cowboy Bebop is a celebrated classic that masterfully blends sci-fi storytelling with the soulful energy of down-tempo jazz. Its stunning visuals, iconic of 90s anime, bring to life unforgettable, fully-realized characters and a compelling overarching narrative.
Each episode is structured as a stand-alone story, keeping viewers hooked with its variety and pacing. Yet, even in its episodic format, the series contributes meaningfully to the larger story, weaving themes of loss, redemption, and human connection throughout.
The characters’ designs are striking and instantly convey their personalities before even watching the show. The main crew, each with vastly different traits and backstories, interacts in ways that feel organic, with relationships evolving naturally over time.
One of the standout elements of the show is its instantly recognisable soundtrack, highlighted by the electrifying opening theme, ‘Tank!’. The music is meticulously composed to perfectly accompany each scene, setting the mood and tone effortlessly.
Cowboy Bebop is a cornerstone of 90s anime culture and transcends its medium, influencing music, film, and television with its exceptional storytelling, score, and animation.
This review praises the animation by saying it transcends its time and how the themes included in this show provide important social messages to their audience.
While I cant directly implement these aspects into my animation as cowboy bebop is of a different medium to mine as it is a 2D show. I can still use this review to help during production by making sure I include an important message through my animation that will appeal to this style of animation.
-----------------------------------------
For its time cowboy bebop was revolutionary for mixing hand drawn animation with CGI. This creates the unique style that is portrayed and loved within cowboy bebop.
-----------------------------------------
Cowboy bebop was produced in japan in suginami, tokyo and while the earnings of cowboy bebop are not public. the cultural impact of this show is large. This is reinforced as it is still popular and discussed over 27 years after its initial released.

Stylised animation conclusion
To conclude, stylised animation is an extremely popular style that has been for 30+ years. This style can appeal to all audiences anywhere in the world depending on the themes. this style is so popular because of its rich and diverse character cast and themes that can appeal to everyone. researching into this style has enhanced my knowledge by informing how to cater towards a specific audience. This is how important the character animations are as it breathes life into them this helps the audience connect with the characters. I will implement this into my animations by ensuring my facial animations are emotive and accurate by using techniques such as squash and stretch to effectively in hopes of achieving a similar result to popular media.

This style of animation heavily relays on the themes and content within my animation. The realistic style can be used in varied ways which allows the style to be catered to any audience. To ensure this style is successful in pleasing the correct audience it is crucial the animations almost imitate life and reflect real humans movement. This allows for your audience to be immersed.

below is a review my friend wrote about the avengers movie
'avengers I think is genuinely amazing, perfect execution when you consider the planning that must’ve gone into it. You can really see the vision behind it and how they’re just trying make a film about a group of people learning to work together rather than a blatant cash grab. Acting also slaps'
This review helped educate me what people enjoy about this movie. The main aspects that this review talks about is the how the acting is amazing and how themes of teamwork are executed excellently.
These are aspects I can implement into my animations by ensuring the facial animations portray emotions and themes that immerse and entertain people.

-----------------------------------------
To conclude, The avengers is a massively popular movie that is an excellent example of realistic animation through the hulk.

Avatar (2009)
Avtar was primarily created with the industry standard software Autodesk Maya. This was used to animate and model the Na'vi.
----------------------------------------------------------
avatar was given a 12A due to the inclusion of violence, nudity and intense scenes. Avatar was primarily targeted towards science fiction fans as it was a prominent theme throughout the movie. Yet this movie can also be enjoyed by teenagers, adults and families as it includes themes that appeal to a range of people. These themes include greed, disconnection and violence. These themes can teach valuable lessons too a range of audiences.
----------------------------------------------------------
Below are reviews of the movie avatar from rotten tomatoes by a user named Julian M (2.5 star review) and Catherine P (5 star review)
'Everything about this film is perfect. All the actors did such a good performance, and the actors themselves make the film a hit. Actors Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang, Michelle Rodriguez, and Sigourney Weaver were all stared in Avatar. The plot is very intriguing and suspenseful, everything falls into place. I do not think there are any scenes that seem confusing or irrelevant to the film. Although it was filmed in 2009, the costumes and details were very high quality and future looking. The setting and colors were so detailed and vibrant. The attacks were also very high quality and suspenseful. The ending is somewhat shocking, kind of expected it to end that way.'
5 star review
'Mind-boggling visual effects do nothing to cover up Avatar's weak character development and unnecessarily action heavy story. What little substance this film portrays is mostly embodied by glass-threatening screaming from the Na'vi and environmental destruction that very quickly gets old. This blot on James Cameron's filmography is hopefully one that audience's can overlook, because the director earns his keep through other, better films. Take Titanic, for instance. '
2.5 star review
While these review are of different ratings and opinions there is one constant through both of them. This is how both reviews praise the visuals and cg of the movie. They comment on how vibrant the colors are in the world which allowed them to be immersed in the world.
These are aspects i need to consider when producing my animations to ensure i appeal to the correct target audience. I can achieve this by ensuring my final renders are of high quality with effective movements in my animations with hopes of pleasing enjoyers of this style.
----------------------------------------------------------
Avatar uses this style of animation anytime the blue creatures are on screen (nA'VI). As they are complete Cg and created with a mix of motion capture and animation within Maya.
----------------------------------------------------------
Avatar was filmed in places such as Hawaii and new Zealand. Avatar made $2.8 billion. This shows me that this style (IF done well) is very popular and can appeal to a wide range of people.
----------------------------------------------------------
To conclude, avatar is a massively popular movie that people have diverse opinions on, but can all agree that the CG and animation in the movie are excellent. Avatar is something I can look up to when producing my animations for this project.(M and P, 2024) (Pollner, n.d.)(Robbins, 2010)
Secret level (2024)
THe software used to create secret level hasn't been announced yet it can be presumed it was made with software suchs as unreal engine and maya.
-----------------------------------------.
Secret level was given a 15 rating due to the inclusion of violence and intense scenes that would not be appropriate for a young audience. Secret levels primary audience are people who enjoy video games and want to see them brought to life. THis show includes themes of oppression and revolution. Generally these are complex themes, targeted towards a more mature audience.
-----------------------------------------
Below is a review of secret level from rotten tomatoes by a user named Manos M
Honestly? Just watch the Sifu, Unreal Tournament, Pacman and ABSOLUTELY the 40k episode. The rest of them just felt... Awkward. It was like watching multiple cinematic game trailers rather than self-contained stories. The dialogue was cheesy, the plots uninspired, and while some of the episodes had AMAZING animation, the writing really crippled them... Concord having an episode -was- funny though!
while this review is a fairly negative one it praises the quality of the animation as one of the only good aspects of the show. This tells me that people can still appreciate a bad show that has good animation. this reinforces how important good animation is.
This is an aspect i can implement into my animations by ensuring that my animations are fluid with the effective movements to accurately depict the emotions i want to portray.
-----------------------------------------
Secret level used CG animation to create the episodes and the characters within. While it is not confirmed what software they used. it is presumed software such as unreal engine was used to produce the highly praised animation within the show.
-----------------------------------------
It's not clear where secret level was made and how much it has earned due to it being on a streaming service. Yet the general discussion online has been fairly mixed with one constantly praised aspect being the animation.
-----------------------------------------
To conclude, While secret level has mixed options. it is still a great example of this style as people praise the visuals and animation within the episodes. This show will be great example of what i can hope to achieve with my final animation.(M, 2024) (Movieweb.com, 2025) (Rotten Tomatoes, 2024)
Realistic animation conclusion
Overall, Realistic animation is a popular style that is primarily used in high production movies. This style is generally aimed at a 12+ audience as it often includes mature themes that wouldn't be suitable for a younger audience. But can also appeal to younger audiences depending on the themes used. Researching into this style has educated me on what people enjoy about this style. THis will help me when i start producing my own animations to ensure i cater to the correct audience. I can achieve this, by making sure the movements within my animations effectively imitates life by utilizing the 12 principles of animation such as secondary action, to hopefully achieve a high quality final animation.
Anthropomorphism
This style of animation is stereotypically aimed at children as bringing an animal life is more generalized then using something that is realistic. This helps children more effectively relate to characters that use this style. This is reinforced by companies such as DISNEY and DREAMWORKS who have previously used this style in successful movies aimed towards children. Yet like every style of animation the themes and content determine who you animation would be targeted towards. Seemingly if more mature themes such as violence were included in my animation it would be more appropriate for an older audience.
Below are xplorations of movies from disney and dreamworks that successfully use this style.
zootropolis (2016)
Zootropolis was made with Disney's in house engine called Hyperion.
-----------------------------------------
This movie was given the PG rating due to the limited use of violence, intense scenes and drug use. Generally animated movies from Disney are aimed towards children this is why they include themes that are appropriate for a younger audience. The themes within this movie include stereotypes, racism and prejudice. The themes where included in this move to inspire their young audience to be anything they wanted and not let stereotypes stop you from being who you want to be. Disney included these themes are they are important lessons for the young generation to learn so they can become their own person. While these are themes that are typically aimed at a younger audience they can also appeal to older people as the lessons these themes teach can help and appeal to anyone.
-----------------------------------------
Below is a review of Zootropolis from a user on rotten tomatoes named jay W
'"Zootopia" is a very fun movie. The movie has something for everyone, whether they like the police action, the animal characters, the hardworking main character or the comedic paring of the two leads. I would have likely loved this film as a kid, I loved police stuff and this film has a lot of good police/detective material for those kids. This film has a lot of good stuff, it just loses steam as it comes to its final act. "Zootopia" had three different directors, that may contribute to why the film feels very disjointed. Behind the scenes there are a lot of deleted scenes and scrapped ideas, including disagreements on who the main character was going to be. These disfunctions are well hidden for the most part, until the final 30 minutes. The movie suffers from tonal whiplash as they transition from one plot point to the other. Still a good time, the film just gets a heavy handed with their commentary towards the end. It isn't a bad message, just a message we have already heard, and this doesn't bring much new to the conversation. I don't mean to dog on this movie too much. Maybe I'm just too bullheaded.'
This review talks about the themes and messages within this film and praises them. This review also mentions how the characters where done as this movie has a diverse cast with different personality's that anyone can relate too.
These are some aspects that will help me when I start producing my animations by educating me how important the character animations are in this style. It is crucial this is done effectively to help audiences immerse themselves in the film and believe that its is a real place where animals are walking around.
-----------------------------------------
Zootropolis uses this style throughout the whole movie as all the characters are animals. Disney achieved this style by conducting a lot of research on real life animals and their characteristics to make sure the animals where similar to there realistic to their counter parts.
-----------------------------------------
This film was made in the unites states of America by Disney pictures. It earned over $1 billion dollars worldwide. This tells me that this style is popular all over the world and appeals to a lot of people.
-----------------------------------------
To conclude, zootropolis is an extremely high rated film that uses this style effectively by creating a living and breathing environment with a diverse range animals that feel real. (Beaudine, Osibodu and Beavers, 2017) (Failes, 2016) (Kay, n.d.) (Mendelson, 2016)(W, 2024)
Ratatouille (2007)
Ratatouille was made using maya and renderman.
----------------------------------------------------------
This movie was given a PG rating due its limited use of violence, frightening scenes and alcohol use. AS these aspects are only used sparingly it allows it to be appropriate for children but still entertaining. Typically animated Disney films are targeted towards a young audience as they include important lessons that need to learnt. This film includes themes of teamwork, family, perseverance and the strong message of discrimination. These themes where included to educate there young (and older) audience on valuable life lessons that need to be understood and talked about more, in hopes of spreading awareness on them.
----------------------------------------------------------
Below is a review of Ratatouille from a user of rotten tomatoes named Nick R
'An absolute standout from Pixar for both it's unique premise, incredible animation direction. The voice cast is also stellar. But the theme of "anyone can cook" and how anyone can follow their dreams and show their talents while being different is told through a very well-written story.'
This review praises the high quality animation and the story direction for stating a clear and effective universal lesson that needs to be heard by everyone.
While these are not aspects i can directly implement into my own animations i can use this new knowledge when looking for audio. to make sure that it fits this style of animation. I can achieve this by choosing an audio that hopefully provides an important message that is important for everyone to hear.
----------------------------------------------------------
Ratatouille uses this style through the rat characters such as 'Remy' in this movie. They achieved this by using a range of techniques such as hand drawn animation, procedural modeling, innovative lighting and time stretching to help with the pacing of scenes.
----------------------------------------------------------
This film was made by Pixar animation studios in California. During its release in theaters it made a total of $624 million. This shows how popular this style and how important message is to do this style effectively.
----------------------------------------------------------
To conclude, Ratatouille is a highly rated movie that uses this style of animation effectively. By creating rats with human characteristics to send an important message to their audience.

Puss in boots (2011)
Puss in Boots was produced with Pixar's in house engine called Moon Ray. This engine is now open source and available to use
-----------------------------------------
This movie was given a PG rating due to its limited use of violence, intense scenes and use of alcohol. Typically DreamWorks animated movies are aimed towards children due to the themes used in there movies. Themes of morality and accepting what you cant change. These are themes that provide a valuable lesson to their young audience that they can carry with them as they grow up. While these themes where used in the film to target children they can also appeal to anyone as the lessons and messages they teach can resonate with anyone.
-----------------------------------------
Below is a review of puss in boots from rotten tomatoes from a user named Paige H
'It's an amazing movie, perfect for the whole family. It's a perfect blend of adventure, action, family, love, friendships, mystery, and revenge. As someone who enjoyed the "Shrek" movies. This movie provides an amazing backstory to one of the main -Popular, cute, honourable- characters of the movie franchise. Not only does it provide a back story, but also an understanding of where his character traits and personality stems from. If you've seen the "Shrek" movies you will not be disappointed!! The Puss in Boots we know and love still carries out the same character values and cuteness in this movie too. Although this movie has no connection to the storyline or other characters in the "Shrek" movies, the movie is still set in the real-life classic fairy tail's world that "Shrek" is also set in. Providing a perfect low key connection to the already known and loved character, Puss in Boots. If this and his honorable, charismatic personality isn't enough. I'm sure his adorable cat eyes will get you watching!'
This review praises the animation of the character puss in boots by complementing his charisma and personality. This review also praises the themes used in this movie and describes it as a 'perfect blend' between them.
These are aspects I can hope to implement into my animations by making sure they have accurate and fluid motion to breathe life into the animal I choose to animate. This review also reinforces how important it is that I choose an audio that provides a message for my audience as this I common practice with this style and animation on a whole.
-----------------------------------------
puss in boots uses this style through the main character as he is cat with human traits. This movie uses a 2.5D to achieve its look in the movie. They did this to allow the fairytale style to be seamlessly integrated into the movie
-----------------------------------------
Puss in boots was made by DreamWorks animation in the united states. It made $555 million during its time in the cinema worldwide. This shows how popular this style is not just in America but in the world.
-----------------------------------------
To conclude, Puss in boots is a popular movie that uses this style effectively by breathing life into a cat and transforming him into a swordsman with a unique personality that people have grown to love. (H, 2023) (IMDb, 2024a) (IMDb, 2024b) (Jackman, 2011) openmoonray.org (n.d.) (The Numbers, 2024)
Anthropomorphism conclusion
To finalize upon this style of animation, it is a style that is typically used to send a powerful message to a young audience. By using animals with unique personality's to spread there message. This is done as throughout history people have grown to accept lessons from animals as they fundamentally break social norms and provide their audience with new or bring up fond memories. Typically this style is aimed towards children as media with this style include a lesson or message that would greatly benefit the young generation. Yet just like other styles of animation it can appeal to anyone as these messages are universal to anyone. I can implement my findings into my own animations by making sure my final animation breathes life into the animal by providing it with unique personality that appeals to fans of this style. In addition, the information i have gathered will help when i decide on the audio i will use for my animations as i will make sure that it includes a message to my auidence as this is trend with this style of animation and others.

'INSANE±STORY-TELLING±AND±ANIMATION… What has happened in the world of animation is astounding! The level of attention to every detail is showcased so well in all styles and forms, in this collection of artistic devilry and beauty. Not what I had expected at all, but then it's Fincher and Miller, so what else should I have expected?! Lol. They masterfully orchestrate and deliver chillingly existential concepts, with subject matter ranging from the darkly fantastical to the outright dystopian, as well as gratuitous amounts of depravity (of course!)'
This review heavily praises the animation and refers to it as 'Outstanding'. This reviewer also mentions how every detail is effective throughout the different styles and forms this show uses throughout its different episodes. In addition to this they mention how every episode has a different and impactful 'subject matter'. This allows every episode to give different messages to their audience

Target Audience Conclusion
To conclude, The research I have conducted into target audience will help me greatly improve my animation. As it has educated me on what people do and don't like about the styles of animation I plan to produce. With aspects such as having a clear message in you animation being one of the primary factors of each theme that allows people to resonate with each style. This will allow me to choose an audio for my animations that provides a message or lesson to my audience. in addition, this research has also given me a bit of insight into how to accurately work with this style with methods such as squash and stretch, secondary action and anticipation being some of the prominent ways to be successful when using these styles.
