Industry Trends: I feel that my character and story are fit for purpose and will appeal to the target audience. Pirates are popular amonst younger audiences, as proved by successful TV shows like Jake and the Neverland Pirates and Swashbuckle and how well these shows have done in terms of views and merchandise sales, so I believe my pirate character will also appeal to this specific audience. The lack of voice allows for more animation opportunity as the character is more dependant on movement and charade. This also mean there is no language barrier so he can appeal to a much wider audience, similiar to children's characters WALL-, Morph and Mr. Bean, who have achieved global success due to using mime and facial expressions as part of their charm instead or verbal communication.
