OOH Case Study Wall-E Problem How does a well-established studio introduce its fan base to its latest character? Solution Use large format executions to make the new character a household name. Background The PIXAR brand is well-established as the gold standard in animation, so each successive film has to deliver on those expecta- tions. This time PIXAR was working with a character who was not intrinsically relatable. A robot from the future does not elicit an instant connection the way superheroes, dolls, cars, fish, or even monsters in your closet do. Successful PIXAR characters evoke an emotional response with all age groups, so the studio needed a way to humanize Wall-E into a relatable character. Objective Disney/PIXAR’s Wall-E presented two inherent obstacles. First, the film had to create its identity in the super-competitive summer movie slate. Faced with a line-up that included Iron Man, Hancock and the latest installments of the Indiana Jones and Batman series, Wall-E needed to be a household name well before opening weekend. Second, the film had to find and establish a fan base. Strategy Wall-E had to become someone, not something. So Disney/PIXAR used two consecutive phases of posting to showcase Wall-E and his person- ality. A simple, white creative introduced Wall-E to the audience and a second phase allowed the audience to get to know him. Because Wall-E is from the future, using some of the newest media vehicles enabled the campaign to blend today’s landscape with that of tomorrow. Plan Details Plan Details Markets: Top 10 DMAs Flight Dates: May - June 2008 Out of Home Formats Used: Bulletins, wallscapes, transit shelters, wrapped commuter trains, wrapped subway trains, Metrolights Using one of Disney’s iconic permanent bulletin locations near the El Capitan Theater, we added GlowSkin, a cutting-edge electroluminescent technology, to make Wall-E glow at night. Results Wall-E opened #1 with a $63 million opening weekend! Although it is difficult to quantify the results pertaining to out of home specifically, as this was part of an overall marketing plan, the film performed strongly in the 2008 summer season. Wall-E was the top-grossing G-rated film of 2008, delivering an impressive $223+ million domestic. Outdoor Advertising Association of America.

3) Indiana Jones Proof
CHAPTER EIGHT Hollywood vs. History In my frst semester of graduate school, every student in my program was required to choose a research topic. It had to be related in some way to modern Chinese history, our chosen course of study. I didn’t know much about China back then, but I did know this: if I chose a boring topic, my life would be miserable. So I came up with a plan. I would try to think of the most exciting thing in the world, then look for its historical counterpart in China. My little brainstorm lasted less than thirty seconds, for the answer was obvious: Indiana Jones. To a white, twenty-something-year-old male from American sub- urbia, few things were more exciting in life than the thought of the man with the bullwhip. To watch the flms was to expe- rience a rush of boyish adrenaline every time. Somehow, I was determined to carry that adrenaline over into my research. On the assumption that there were no Chinese counterparts to Indiana Jones, I posed the only question that seemed likely to yield an answer: How did the Chinese react to the foreign archaeologists who took antiquities from their lands? Te answer to that question proved far more complex than I ever could have imagined. I was so stunned by what I discov- ered in China that I decided to read everything I could about Western expeditions in the rest of the world, in order to see how they compared to the situation in China. Tis book is the result.

HOW LEGO CONSTRUCTS A CROSS-PROMOTIONAL FRANCHISE WITH VIDEO GAMES by David Wooten A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Media Studies at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee August 2013 ABSTRACT HOW LEGO CONSTRUCTS A CROSS-PROMOTIONAL FRANCHISE WITH VIDEO GAMES by David Wooten The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2013 Under the Supervision of Professor Michael Newman The purpose of this project is to examine how the cross-promotional Lego video game series functions as the site of a complex relationship between a major toy manufacturer and several media conglomerates simultaneously to create this series of licensed texts. The Lego video game series is financially successful outselling traditionally produced licensed video games. The Lego series also receives critical acclaim from both gaming magazine reviews and user reviews. By conducting both an industrial and audience address study, this project displays how texts that begin as promotional products for Hollywood movies and a toy line can grow into their own franchise of releases that stills bolster the original work.

"It's Aimed at Kids - the Kid in Everybody": George Lucas, Star Wars and Children's Entertainment by Peter Krämer, University of East Anglia, UK
"It's aimed at kids - the kid in everybody": George Lucas, Star Wars and Children's Entertainment By Peter Krämer, University of East Anglia, UK When Star Wars was released in May 1977, Time magazine hailed it as "The Year's Best Movie" and characterised the special quality of the film with the statement: "It's aimed at kids - the kid in everybody" (Anon., 1977). Many film scholars, highly critical of the aesthetic and ideological preoccupations of Star Wars and of contemporary Hollywood cinema in general, have elaborated on the second part in Time magazine's formula. They have argued that Star Wars is indeed aimed at "the kid in everybody", that is it invites adult spectators to regress to an earlier phase in their social and psychic development and to indulge in infantile fantasies of omnipotence and oedipal strife as well as nostalgically returning to an earlier period in history (the 1950s) when they were kids and the world around them could be imagined as a better place. For these scholars, much of post-1977 Hollywood cinema is characterised by such infantilisation, regression and nostalgia (see, for example, Wood, 1985). I will return to this ideological critique at the end of this essay. For now, however, I want to address a different set of questions about production and marketing strategies as well as actual audiences: What about the first part of Time magazine's formula? Was Star Wars aimed at children? If it was, how did it try to appeal to them, and did it succeed? I am going to address these questions first of all by looking forward from 1977 to the status Star Wars has achieved in the popular culture of the late 1990s.

'Toy Story 4' Bring Animation Into the Legacy Sequel Fold?
Could 'Toy Story 4' Bring Animation Into the Legacy Sequel Fold? Forky is the googly-eyed face of the future for the 'Toy Story' franchise, but what might that mean for Woody and Buzz? TweetSharePostBookmarkSubscribe If there’s one movie that could challenge Avengers: Endgame‘s dominance this summer (and 2019 as a whole), it’s Toy Story 4. Like Endgame, the Pixar animated feature is a Disney sequel, fourth in a series (but twenty-somethingth in a larger cinematic franchise). And like Endgame, Toy Story 4 appears to be passing the torch to a new generation of 1 characters. No, I don’t expect Buzz and Woody to die at the end of the movie so that Forky can take over as the star of a new phase of the franchise, but this could be the closest we come to an animated legacy sequel. Legacy sequels are primarily a live-action concept because they have to be. Returning to a franchise many years later means revisiting characters who are older and in need of being retired. We’ve seen this happen with Star Wars, Star Trek, Tron, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, Blade Runner, Rocky, Wall Street, and Halloween. And even many decades ago with The Color of Money passing the baton from The Hustler. But animated properties don’t ever need to be rebooted from within because their main characters never get old — or never need to, anyway. If The Incredibles had been a live-action superhero movie, perhaps the long- awaited Incredibles 2 would have required a bit more focus on the younger generation of the Parr family.
