We have all seen it right, the likes of Wilma Flintstone and others wearing things like silver jewellery in the cartoons. well what seem to be the main reasons behind the creators doing something like this, is it because they are trying to get deals with jewellery makers or do they think adding a bit of jewellery to the character is really going to help?? here are some of those important questions answered.
Deals?
toon makers do not often strike deals with companies on things like this because the viewers would not like it and immediately give up watching the cartoon, this would not be good for the company that make the cartoon or the company trying to promote their product through it. Another reason they do not deal with these kinds of companies is because they do not need too, the biggest of cartoon studios are much more powerful and richer than companies that sell jewellery so why do they need to team up with them. With this in mind, what is the point in putting a piece of amber jewellery or Celtic jewellery on one of their cartoon characters?
It Works
one of the key reasons that artists will put jewellery on a cartoon character is because they think it completes them, you can see where they are coming from in most instances. I am pretty sure that both Wilma and Betty would not be the same without their pearl jewellery on all of the time? nowadays we would think something is missing if we saw these people without them and this is what toon makers see when they are drawing them for the first time.
another reason that these types of things are put on them is to make them relate to people and this works a lot. The best example is of course the Flintstones as you really can believe they are a proper family!
There have been so many shows out there that are made for kids, remember the ones with cars in them? Lets just say you would have bad credit car loans for featuring in one of these toons.
Wacky Races
This is most likely my favourite cartoon of all time and it has over twenty characters that are in every single episode and also 11 cars that can do pretty much anything. continue reading »
There are so many films that have cars in them out there but are there that many that are made for kids or the family, lets have a look.
Cars
This really was Pixar’s attempt at getting everyone interested in cars and it worked thats for sure, a great family film. When Lightning McQueen falls off the back of a truck he is stuck in a dead in town and when he accidently wrecks the road he is made to stay behind and repave it all. continue reading »

His favourite cheese as any fans of the series will know is of course Wensleydale.Of course the first time we laid eyes on the pair was way back in 1989 in the film A Grand Day Out in which the pair actually travel to the moon as they realise they have run short of the yellow stuff. continue reading »
