# Custom Cartoons With Your Kid Kideo.com Creates Custom DVDs By Anant Shiva | Published 2008-01-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-child-the-cartoon-star References: [kideo](http://www.kideo.com/) Now your child can swing across buildings as Spiderman or sing along with Barney, in Barney! How does this work? It's pretty simple. Upload a picture of your child to kideo.com and it would be cropped down to a headshot and affixed on a cartoon body. A few days later, you'll receive a DVD with a cartoon of your child alongside popular characters like Spiderman, Arthur and Dora The Explorer. Sure it might be a little creepy for you to watch a beheaded version of your child singing a ditty with Barney, but Kideo thinks your child would love it. Kideo's videos, priced around USD 39.95, are currently only available in English. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Customization](https://www.trendhunter.com/customization) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Customized Entertainment:** Opportunity for businesses to offer personalized entertainment experiences by combining customer photos with popular characters. - **Character Merchandising:** Potential for companies to create custom merchandise featuring customer photos and popular characters. - **Digital Transformation in Children's Media:** Emerging trend of digital platforms revolutionizing traditional children's media through personalized content creation. ### Who This Affects Most - **Entertainment:** Innovative solutions for personalized entertainment experiences can disrupt the entertainment industry. - **Merchandising:** Opportunities for companies to expand their product lines by incorporating personalized merchandise. - **Media and Broadcasting:** Digital transformation in children's media provides opportunities for content creators to offer personalized experiences on digital platforms. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Customizable Children's Stories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/storyland-illustrated-personalized-ebook.md) - [Personalized Children’s Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinyherostories.md) - [Personalized Toddler Tales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-spark-book.md) - [Personalized Audio Stories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bedtimestoryme.md) - [Personalized Comic Book Creation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamcanvas.md) - [Personalized AI Stories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-bookshelf.md) - [Personalized Storytelling Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magical-childrens-book.md) - [Personalized Storytelling Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollerstory.md) - [Children’s Story Creators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/readkidz.md)
