{{Name}}{{Under construction}}< | {{Name}}{{Under construction}}'''Cartoon Characters''' is the name given by the community for the animated versions of the cast of each series. These were created as early as [[Hi-5 (Season 1)|Season 1]] of the original series, as the need for easily identifiable and replicable versions of the live-action cast were needed not only for merchandising but for branding purposes too. | ||
= Hi-5 Australia = | =Timeline= | ||
== Season 10 == | The first cartoon characters to make an appearance were the ones seen in the [[Hi-5 (Season 1)|Season 1]] [[Hi-5 Theme|theme song]] animation, illustrated by Eddie Mort from Fudge Puppy Productions, and depicted the original cast in 2D. | ||
=== Opening Titles === | |||
Different cartoons were seen in merch at the time, not fully matching the designs of those seen in the first two theme song animations of the show. | |||
Starting from [[Hi-5 (Season 3)|Season 3]], a new artist, Bort. Q. Rockefeller <small>(artistic name)</small> was brought in into the team, which re-designed the 2D versions of the cast; these new version weren't just seen on merch, but were also seen reproduced in 3D in the [[Hi-5 Theme|theme song]], since the launch of [[Hi-5 (Season 4)|Season 4]]. | |||
Bort was also responsible for the characters designs in both seasons of the [[Hi-5 USA|American adaptation of the show]]. | |||
With [[Sun Pezzimenti|Sun]]'s arrival to the cast in 2006 as a replacement of [[Kathleen de Leon Jones|Kathleen]], a new design to reflect her appearance was supposed to debut alongside the rest of the cast in [[Hi-5 (Season 9)|Season 9]], however, marketing executives at the time advised to keep [[Kathleen de Leon Jones|Kathleen]]'s original design in favor of a more accurate one. | |||
In Season 10, Bort, now under the Australian design studio Studio Bauhaus redesigned the cast once again, giving the strokes a lighter feel and making the designs feel more fluid and expressive; this was the last season in which Bort worked on. | |||
