The trick is to get five series. Then they can be repeated as infinitum, if not on the primary channels.
Octonauts is my favourite toy franchise, they have eight characters and many vehicles with other props. Kids do not mind having duplicates of the octonaut characters. This makes no sense to an adult but a three year old thinks differently.
The octonaut characters have large heads and small bodies. Therefore they do not stand up. The vehicles are for under water so there are no wheels. This again is no problem. Scale is also variable. As is quality, some toys come for free on the octonauts magazine.
The strength of the TV show is what matters. Sony bought the rights and there is a movie and two more series in the works. The franchise is global.
- gwern 6y agoYes, I was a little surprised Hobart doesn't cover Hasbro. The multi-media/modal approach seems to be the natural way out of the churn, letting you own demand, and make it multi-generational (eg the MLP:FiM proposal/bible is very clear that it should be a show that moms can enjoy as much as their daughters).
- toyg 6y ago> The trick is to get five series I thought the trick was to do 6, so you’d have more than 100 episodes and trigger a bunch of stuff about extra royalties and syndication. At least this is what US television authors seem to see as the Holy Grail.
