# Mythical Skeleton Safaris Skulls of Cartoon Characters By Cowbag | Published 2008-09-02 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mythical-animal-safari-skulls-used-to-sell-clothes References: [kittyhell](http://www.kittyhell.com/2008/08/27/hello-kitty-safari/) These [print adverts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-inspired-by) for SHS Teen Clothes totally rock; in fact, the ads belong to the best I have seen in months. These incredibly random safari shots were created by CBGrey Paris and photographed by Riccardo Bagnoli. The [Hello Kitty skull](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swizzels-squashies-squeletons) has to be one of my favourite details, and the [spit roasting Pinocchio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deddy-bears) is nothing short of genius. I love they way these adverts would work as a series of photographs on their own, out of the context of SHS. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Print](https://www.trendhunter.com/print) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Cartoon Character Skulls:** Opportunity to create a product line of skull-themed merchandise using popular cartoon character designs. - **Unexpected Advertising:** Opportunity for brands to create unexpected and attention-grabbing advertisements that go viral on social media. - **Reviving Classic Characters:** Opportunity for brands to capitalize on nostalgia by reviving classic cartoon characters in unique and unexpected ways. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can incorporate unique designs to differentiate themselves and appeal to younger audiences. - **Advertising:** Advertising agencies can create viral campaigns that challenge conventional advertising methods. - **Toy/game:** Manufacturers of toys and games can partner with entertainment brands to create unique products that appeal to both adults and children. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playful Billboard Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamies-treats.md) - [Spooky Back-to-School Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keds-x-monster-high.md) - [Spooky Street Ad Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fanta-halloween-projection.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Humorous Mens Fragrance Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/axe-campaign.md) - [Quirky Spoof Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fight-teeth.md) - [History-Centric Advertisements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/royal-ontario-museum.md) - [Witty Toy-Brand Horror Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horror-poster.md) - [Squishy Skull-Shaped Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swizzels-squashies-squeletons.md)
