Animation in Advertisement World
Animation made its entry in the field of advertisement in early 90's and has been gaining popularity since then. Whether it is buttery 'Amul' girl or famous 'Fido Dido' in 7up's advertisement, animation is making its presence felt in a big way. Popularity of animated characters among youngsters have made animation hip and cool.

Some experts opinion suggest that it is a nice way of doing a script. Besides, the visual appeal, many complex issues such as stunts, can also be done away with modern animation techniques.It is also a cost-effective method as a simple animation ad is comparatively less expensive than a commercial with celebrity's presence.

Earlier, advertisement industry believed in presenting common man in advertisements because he is the ultimate user of the product. Gradually, the focus shifted towards celebrities.

And now it is tinting towards animated characters as ad world has realised that animated or clay items have a longer shelf life than celebrities and also the concept of brand ambassador is tends to fade away. For example, take the instance of Sunil Gavaskar in Dinesh suitings advertisement.When it was aired Sunil was an icon. But when his cricketing career coming to end that commercial lost its lusture. Similar is the case of big B Amitabh Bachchan, whose varied roles played in films may confuse the viewers.

For example, Chintamani, (an animated character) of ICICI credential bank represents common man in the same way as Laxman's cartoons used to do. These kinds of characters have unique look but same approach, that is why whether it is upper or middle class, everybody can associate himself/herself with these characters.
