Implications - In contemporary pop culture, few properties are more popular than animated ones. Blockbusters like Up, Toy Story 3, and Cars have made animated films one of Hollywood's most successful sungenres. Any company seeking to capitalize on this movement toward cartoony entertainment would be wise to invest in co-branded products that can connect their products to these successful animated films, or creating characters similar to those in the movies.
