2、ategy for it and its industry chain. In addition, some successful cases in the relevant fields home or abroad are taken into consideration to analyze how to facilitate the further development of Chinas animation industry in conformity with the reality. Keywords: Animation industry, Derivative produc

3、t, Commercial value Animation industry is a core industry displaying great potential for development in 21st century. By the 1990s, the export of animations and their derivative products had exceeded that of traditional industries and the values created by animation products and services had ranked

4、6th in GNP. In Japan and Korea, animations and their derivative products have replaced the traditional industries to become the new pillar products of foreign exchange earning. According to statistics, the whole world has created animations and derivative products worth about $500,000,000,000. Actua

5、lly, children can be taught by some classical American cartoons about some risks they are expected to cope with during their growing-up course. And it is even mentioned by CCTV that American animations can provide guidelines for education on their kids. It is American peoples self-independence, focu

6、s on individual ability, courage, adventurous spirits, openness as well as originality that create todays American education. Their teachers will see every kids talent and encourage them to foster their strengths. As a result, a lot of successful talents have been cultivated, such as over 300 billio

7、naires since 1980 and numerous Nobel Prize winners. This is really the best reflection of what Washington, the founder of this great nation, once said “giving American people the best education”. In recent years, with the great emphasis paid by Chinese government on the development of cultural indus

8、tries including animation industry, a series of policies and measures favorable for the sound development of this industry have been issued, giving great opportunities for its rapid development. According to some experienced members in this industry, the spring of Chinas animation industry has arriv

9、ed. Due to its long investment recovery cycles and the current fundamental stage of Chinas animation industry, it will take at least 3 to 5 years to develop it into a mature one. With the arrival of the digital age, a new pattern with flashes, cartoons and games has come into being. Therefore, anima

10、tion will be interwoven with films, TV programmes, publications, audio-visual products and other derivative products to form the animation industry chain. Here, we will employ the case of Hello Kitty for its development course and successful experience in market operation. There is a little cat, wit

11、h a round face, a bow on her left ear, a short tail but without mouth, which is called Hello Kitty. This cartoon cat is printed on over 22,000 kinds of commodities to be sold in more than 40 countries. She earns $500,000,000 for her owner, Sanrio Company, as well as billions of dollars for those com

12、panies authorized to use her image. In addition, some other unauthorized companies put it on a variety of things, creating a profit of $1,000,000,000 every year. Such an unknown cat once printed on cheap plastic wallets has become a cat with the greatest market value in history. Kitty was born in 19

13、74 when Sanrio Company planned to design a new image on their newly designed wallets. Thinking kids are mostly fond of some little animals such as bears, dogs or cats, the first designer of Kitty decided to use the third one because the first two had been produced before. That is the very beginning

14、of Kitty. In spite of the presidents lack of interest in her, her popularity soared in a short time. In addition, it is the grass-rooted marketing strategy for Kitty that has impressed people a lot. When putting Kitty to the market at first, Sanrio Company hardly did any market survey or advertiseme

15、nts. Whats more, it authorized nearly every product (with the exception of tobacco, alcohol and guns) as long as it would not spoil the lovely image of Kitty. With Kittys rising fame, Sanrio Company spent little on advertisements. Instead, it adopted an all-round marketing strategy and printed Hello

16、 Kitty on everything you could imagine, from sticker, pens, notebooks, clothes, toys, wallets, cups, plates, chopsticks, mobile phones, roasters, dustbins to computers, treadmills and automobiles, even adventurous theme parks. Besides, it issued some limited editions to stimulate consumers enthusias

17、m for collection and repeated purchasing. Nowadays, Hello Kitty has been put on about 22,000 commodities to be sold in over 40 countries. When the mini Hello Kitty hanging decorations appeared at Mcdonalds in 2004, they appealed to a crowed of consumers with its variety of colors and lovable images.

18、 In Taiwan, due to the great popularity of Mcdonalds mini Kitty, it was even regarded as a standard to assess ones love for the other whether they would buy a set of Hello Kitty for each other. Whats more, a struggle broke out in Singapore when some customers queued up for kids set meal with Kitty a

19、nd Dear Daniel. A series of effective marketing strategies have fully exerted Kittys commercial value. It is said that Microsoft Company plannd to purchase the copyright for Kitty at $5,600,000,000. Moreover, Kitty has stepped beyond business field as shown in the political war of words in Taiwan, K

20、itty Murder in Hong Kong as well as a global cultural movement and even someone has taken it as the subject of a thesis. Just as what Scalette Johnson once said- “she is like my mascot.”- this lovable cat with a round face has established her own cartoon business kingdom while fulfilling numerous pe

21、oples fancy dreams. Thus, such a previously unknown cat has changed into an idol who can earn a lot for her owners and dealers. What makes Kitty different from Doraemon and Garfield is that she is a commodity not supported by films or cartoons. Just like the most famous dog-Snoopy as well as the mos

22、t popular bear-Winnie Pooh, Kitty maintains her prosperity by creating products attractive to kids and ladies. For over 3 decades, this smiling cat without mouth has been reliable friends for kids especially girls. After they grow up and become mothers, they are still fond of this lovely cat togethe

23、r with their daughters. Then, what makes her so attractive? Actually, her fans just have their free imagination about her blank face. This is just what Sanrio has kept in mind. In other words, Kitty is happy today if you think so and she is sad if you are depressed. Therefore, people tend to regard

24、her as their intimate partners. With highly-developed urbanization, urbanities are faced with isolated personal relationships and more young men dont know how to communicate with others. Instead, machines and toys become their friends to whom they can express their feelings, which has resulted in th

25、e success stories of cartoon products. As a result, Kitty has appealed to adults even old people as well as children. For children, she is a lovely toy； for grown ladies, Kitty reminds them of their pure childhood； for fathers, they can show their love for their kids. In this way, a product will att

26、ract people at different ages, with different tastes, styles and wishes, hence having more customers. Although none of the factors attributed to Disney cartoon successes can be found in her, Kitty has become one of the most profitable cartoon figures. Satisfying peoples desire for childrens trueness

27、, Kitty has become a cultural sign from 20th to 21st century. Besides, the success story of Hello Kitty should be attributed to its diversified extension strategy. Now, Kitty is on the wrong side of 30, which is old enough for a cat. Its really hard for a 32-year-old cartoon image to keep young and

28、fresh at the fashion-going-quickly Japanese market. It is the key to Kittys success that Sanrio has kept pace with fashion. Every month, 500 new products appear at market and 500 old ones are dismissed. Besides, the product line has been regulated in order to make the products conforming to differen

29、t fashions. In early 1980s, when Teddy Bear overwhelmed Japan, Kitty held it as her friend. In middle 1980s, when it was popular for middle-class girls enjoyed playing the piano, a Kitty playing the grand piano appeared. In addition, Sanrio puts forward different commodities according to the growing

30、-up progress of its main customers. For example, in 2004, in honor of Kittys 30th anniversary, some new products were intended for the adult market, such as roasters, coffee makers, microwave ovens in order to keep her adult fans who had accompanied her since her birth. Actually, another reason for Kittys popularity is her success in entering the adult market and being accepted. Faced with strengthened pressure from life and work,
