Yeah, i thought it'd deconstruct a few characters to try and truly understand what goes through character designers minds when coming up with character for children's animation.
A simple Pocoyo De-construction.
A simple Bob The Builder De-construction.
Looking at lots of other character designs (These 3 mainly) they share a lot of similarities. Facial features seem to be one of the over-riding similarities. Most of the characters i looked at all have incredibly simplistic facial features. No photo-realistic eyes, not even any looking remotely like Human eyes in many cases. I think it's a simple case of if you throw them into a silhouette and they can still be recognised you've done your job for a child friendly design.
