Animated films breathe new life into traditional stories by blending different regional cultures, traditional stories, and mythological characters. This paper will analyze the characteristics of different characters and the related cultures behind them from various types of classic film and television works, and analyze the influence of different cultural backgrounds, ethnic characteristics, natural regions and other factors on the design of cartoon characters. The design of animated characters is not only a maintenance of tradition, but also an expression of cultural stance. They are equally important in areas such as city branding, large-scale event promotion or corporate image building, and the animation character design absorbs different cultural elements to form a cross-cultural design style, showing multicultural characteristics and resonating with the audience.
