Information 2 Astroboy has an unforgettable theme song and the best introduction for a cartoon. Rather than just showing clips from the episodes like most cartoons do, it has original animation and shows astro in action. The lyrics are simple but work really well. So Barbie was put on the market and set several sales records still unparalleled. The Mattel people attribute the success to (great marketing and) the need of little girls to play with a symbol of themselves in the future, and not just with baby dolls, which train them to be mothers. Barbie allows children to dream about becoming teenagers and going out and wearing stylish clothing. They marketed her as the super model who has everything that little girls should want: fame, wealth, attention. Successful gimmick, obviously.
