In a classic episode of “The Simpsons”, routine cannot make it good and the dear -youngster -bart Simpson cannot find out why he is not a friend. “Is it my overbite that has worn the same garment every day in the past five years?” Of course it was a little more than five years ago because “the Simpsons” are longest running prime time scripted series of all time. In fact, the question of a routine oobes across all long -standing animated characters extends and literally approaches their outfits in their iconic appearance. Just like Lisa Simpson’s dress, which is shaped like a badminton -shuttlecock or Peter Griffins white shirt and green trousers, all of these iconic characters keep the same thing. But why is that the case? The answer is far more sensible than you think and a trick that extends to some of the foundation and also preferred characters of the early animation.
Just like in the early days of animation when Felix the cat and Mickey mouse Always wear white gloves To offer their artists a simple template, a single outfit was another cheat code. Characters are always in the same threads, since the animation sequences are so much easier, while the changes to the wardrobe take much longer before projects are ended. In the course of time, however, for various reasons, one and the outfits made proved to be valuable as if these popular characters became somewhat worthwhile marketing over screens and instead on shelves.
Some favorites in childhood and modern anime gave their characters huge wardrobes
When animated characters live in the worlds of espionage and adventure, it makes sense that they wear more than one outfit. In the Hit -Disney series “Kim Content”, for example, a spy of globeting would probably need more than its characteristic black crop top and its green Khaki pants during a mission and often get dressed for this occasion as James Bond would do. The same applies to “Total Spies” from 2013, in which the trio of titular heroes always bears a variety of outfits and at the same time maintains their respective colors of choice: green for Sam, red for clover and yellow for Alex.
Cut to this day, and some of the most popular anime in recent years have ensured that their heroes look the part. One example is “My Hero Academia”, in which the lead character Izuku Midoriya has had many outfits since Anime’s debut in 2016. Other shows like “Bleach” also dared to stretch the skills of animators and give characters more than an outfit they also change in. Admittedly, it is often the case that the show returns to its heroes, which in a signature -Outfit get what makes things much easier. There is also the additional advantage of saving time with a starting point for cartoon characters, which works miracles for mass merchandising.
Individual outfits for cartoon characters work wonders for mass merchandising
If a cartoon character becomes popular enough to get a merchandized, it will help if you are not famous to have several different outfits if only one would do it. All “The Simpsons” characters have an outstanding selection of clothing, which you usually only occasionally switch to your best or special events for your Sunday or at special events. This makes toys, clothes and all other equipment in which Homer Simpson can stamp a simple sale. He is not the only one who gets the T-shirt treatment. Comic characters and their outstanding super suits made the worlds that were too easier to build. red and blue costume is always easy to see, even if James Gunn made some changes to his live action literation.
Just as a creative process of the corner is cut, however, you cannot deny that all the appearances of these characters mentioned above have made it possible for you to achieve the status of the icon level. Bart can annoy himself that he always wears his orange and blue number, but compared to the rest of us he has it easy. His outfit has never got out of fashion for 37 years and it is also very much as if it never pretended.
