Kid-Appeal Character	comment	The Kid-Appeal Character is typically the character designed to appeal to a younger demographic. Cute, popular, tiny, likely to be Totally Radical, and almost always the youngest character on The Team, he's invariably obnoxious and thinks he's so totally cool, in a frantic effort to convince viewers that this is a family friendly show. As well as that, the Kid-Appeal Character is all too often portrayed as seeing The Hero and/or The Leader of the Good Guys as his Father Figure. If the Leader is also quite young, chances are he'll see him as his Big Brother. In the same regard, he may look at The Lancer as being his uncle. If a color is associated with the character, then that color would be, if not yellow (if the character is female, she'll almost certainly be pink), then frequently brightly colored at any rate.

Notably he wasn't been cheered by older fans for awhile into his career, when he was doing text book rudo work. But the kids still loved him.

Kid-Appeal Character / int_1bdeba5a	comment	X-Men: Kitty Pryde started out as a young teenage hero on a team of adults, but eventually grew out of the role. Jubilee, particularly in the 90s: young, fun-loving, sarcastic, one of Wolverine's many sidekicks, and (appropriately) known for wearing a lot of yellow. In New X-Men: Academy X, Pixie was one of the youngest, had brightly colored wings, and was otherwise comic relief, for the few issues that focused on her before Break the Cutie (which really didn't break her very much at all). Gabby Kinney / Honey Badger is the younger sister of X-23, and serves much the same role to her that Jubilee served to Logan, and is primarily the Ankle-Biter variety. She's a cute and peppy smart-alleck to contrast with Laura's stoicism, has an interminably upbeat demeanor, and is a font of humor with her off-kilter and observant humor. She even has a Team Pet in the form of Jonathan the actual wolverine.

Kid-Appeal Character / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: Bart was extremely popular with children of The '90s due to his rebellious nature and one-liners making him an appealing Escapist Character for real-life elementary schoolers — to the point Moral Guardians were often concerned about kids emulating his behavior. To this day, he frequently appears on merchandise for both older and younger viewers, often leaning into Totally Radical. Maggie, being The Baby of the Bunch, leans into this on the rare occasion she has a subplot, as her antics often involve cutesy cartoony antics (such as escaping a daycare or communicating with animals) and being The Voiceless means her comedy isn't as dialogue-driven as other characters. A Maggie-centric short was the first Simpsons short to be attached to a family-friendly Disney property. She even has a spinoff book line aimed at preschoolers.

Unfortunately, the Wheelie and Daniel dynamic was nowhere near as popular as Bumblebee and Spike's, at least partially because they were much younger and so came off as much more of The Load.

Kid-Appeal Character / int_44127c7c	comment	While several Power Rangers have kid-appeal elements, few really seem to go so far as to be a viewpoint character kids are "supposed" to identify with. One that definitely does, though, is Justin Stewart from Power Rangers Turbo, currently the only one who was a Ranger as a kid when most are in their late teens or early twenties. Other good candidates include: Max Cooper from Power Rangers Wild Force. The definite kid of the group (high school age when the others were in college at a minimum) and had childlike enthusiasm to match, but got a lot less focus than your standard example. Ziggy Grover from Power Rangers RPM, a Lovable Coward, the weakest fighter on the team (he became a Ranger by accident), best buds with and sidekick to the Troubled, but Cute Lancer, and something of a viewpoint character as a Meta Guy. However, he was the same age as the other Rangers and didn't come off as all that "childlike" in comparison, being in trouble with organized crime and showing hints of being a Chivalrous Pervert. Also from RPM, Sixth Rangers Gem and Gemma, who were extremely childlike (even seeming to be developmentally a year or two behind the target audience). They're more of a subversion, really; rather than being audience surrogates for kids, their immaturity came off as them being very very screwed up. Another blatant one was Fred in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie. While the Rangers fought off the monsters he rallied Angel Grove's kids (and Bulk and Skull) to rescue their parents. Made all the more obvious because he's the only "civilian" character who wasn't part of the show's regular cast.

He was used to promote the show a lot and he even won the first season in his ending. DJ is also an appeal character too due to his bead eyes, likable personality, and love for animals and his mother. Cameron, a season four contestant is much smaller than any of the other contestants as he looks more like a kid than a teen and sounds like one too. His high intelligence and good personality also appeals towards kids. "Pahkitew Island": Shawn takes this role due to his eccentric behavior and obsession with zombies. Max has a short and stocky Non-Standard Character Design allowing him more exaggerated expressions than other characters, as well as a very loud sense of humor tied to the Evil Is Hammy trope and his laughable cartoony incompetence.

Kid-Appeal Character / int_4c095a1f	comment	Bumblebee from The Transformers was the original Trope Namer. Down to originally transforming into a Volkswagen. Every single version of him - ever - is a kid-appeal character. Almost every version of a kid-appeal character and their human ally being a pair owes something to Bumblebee's friendship with Spike. Strangely enough, in the original "More Than Meets The Eye" miniseries that began the cartoon, it seemed that Hound was geared towards being the kid-appeal character: his bio noted that he'd fallen in love with Earth and wanted to learn more about it, and he spent quite a bit of time with Spike. However, by the time the series proper began, Bumblebee was easily the closest of the Autobots to Spike. After the animated movie, the kid-appeal role was taken on by Wheelie for the third series of Generation 1 (which paired him with Daniel, the son of Bumblebee's partner Spike, though not quite as often) and all of Transformers: ★Headmasters. Unfortunately, the Wheelie and Daniel dynamic was nowhere near as popular as Bumblebee and Spike's, at least partially because they were much younger and so came off as much more of The Load. This role was then taken over by Holi in Transformers Victory, who was blue but otherwise a combination of all this trope's aspects. For example, in most episodes he'll be bickering with Jan, Star Saber's adopted human son, but in combat situations he and his team focus on rescue and evacuation while leaving combat to the older and more powerful Autobots. The few times he actually tries to fight are in desperate situations, like when he charged at the combiner Liokaiser in an attempt to distract him while others went for help.

When pitching a possible movie adaptation, the studio execs insisted that there be a kid protagonist involved; even though the creators argued that it wouldn't make sense for a child to be employed by Tesladyne, and that Robo himself would theoretically appeal to kid viewers enough as a big friendly robot. Eventually, they came up with the idea of a kid being swept up in an adventure through their Science Fair project. The movie fell through, but the concept was later turned into a Free Comic Book Day side-story — which ends with Robo gently telling the kid that given the hyperdangerous science shenanigans that Tesladyne regularly deals with, it would be illegal and unethical for him to hire her no matter how smart she is.

Civil War is one of the MCU's darker films, but while most of the adults are wrapped up in angst-ridden plots about superhero politics, divided loyalty, grief, and revenge, Spider-Man is a wisecracking teenage fanboy who's just excited to be there. Princess Shuri in Black Panther. Shuri's a grown woman in the comics, but in the movie, she's a cheerful, meme-loving Teen Genius who provides much of the film's humor.

He starts out as a sixteen-year-old Farm Boy from Tatooine who is utterly naive and gets taunted by the rudest of his fellow Rogues, who for the most part are five to ten years older than he is. So he serves to be the newbie trying to find his place and being surprised by things that the older pilots find commonplace. While his subplots are pretty much in the background, he does go through Character Development and grow and mature. Eventually, by the New Jedi Order, he's the leader of Rogue Squadron.

Kid-Appeal Character / int_b31b332f	comment	The Transformers Film Series: The twins in Revenge of the Fallen, as Michael Bay states, were meant to be this (hell, they're even stuck with Bumblebee for much of the movie)... in spite of being violent Jive Turkeys who keep beating up each other. Their toy bios essentially say that being among the few Autobots who made it to Earth made them living their dream of working directly alongside Optimus Prime, which is certainly a common trait for this type of character. Their immature wrestling and talking about being "quiet like a ninja" also highlights their relative youth. In Dark of the Moon, Bumblebee's kid-friendly nature gets taken advantage of by Laserbeak, who turns into a mini pink Bumblebee to convince a little girl to let him in so that he can assassinate her father. In the third film, the character type is also embodied by the duo of Wheelie and Brains, who are small robots and basically act like kids during the course of the movie. Unlike Skids and Mudflap, though, they have relatively little screen time and would rather be chilling at Sam's home watching TV instead of being involved with the Robot War. In Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, Bumblebee's role of the youthful and optimistic Autobot who makes friends with humans has been passed down to Mirage.

He falls under the "Weak but Lovable" and Teen Genius varieties (Even though he's canonically 8), but avoids the worst of the trope by actually being able to hold his own alongside Sonic...at least until Sonic Unleashed which started the trend of Tails being a bit of a coward and then he started becoming much more abrasive and sardonic on top of that. The Bratty Half-Pint Charmy came later, and was followed by Badass Adorable Cream and Cheese, both only six years old.

Scooby, the Clown, had a goofy personality that was specifically meant to counterbalance the show's darker moments, while Scrappy was one of the Ankle-Biter variety (though he was surprisingly strong for his size, edging towards Cute Bruiser territory). That said, when he isn't around it's usually Shaggy and Scooby himself who get into silly antics in the midst of monster-hunting.

Kid-Appeal Character / int_b8e7bb8	comment	Super Sentai indulges in this. The Kid-Appeal Ranger is typically the youngest male Ranger on a team, especially if he's neither The Hero nor The Lancer of the Five-Man Band; as such, Yellow and Green Rangers fill this role more often than other colors. One such example is Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger's Don (Gokai Green), who lacks the confidence and dash of his teammates and has a bumbling, comical fighting style. Ironically, the only two actual child Rangers in the franchise's history don't quite fit this trope; Kou/Kibaranger was a Bratty Half-Pint who engaged in Dirty Kid antics early on, while Kotaro/Koguma Skyblue is essentially a standard Ranger who just so happens to be a kid, possessing a surprising amount of maturity for someone as young as he is. On occasion, the Red Ranger will be made the Kid-Appeal Character, since naturally every kid wants to be The Hero; however, this tends to produce characters who are incredibly unpopular with Sentai's older fanbase. One infamous example is Takaharu from Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, an Idiot Hero with basically zero Character Development whose only real skills seemed to be bull-headed enthusiasm and a catchphrase he shouted at the top of his lungs every ten minutes, but who still gets treated by the other Ninningers as the strongest member of the team and the one person they could never surpass. Nagi from the same series is a more traditional KAC, being the team's "baby" who feels somewhat inadequate because he has to keep up with his more accomplished cousins. Ressha Sentai Toqger is a rare case where the entire team is like this, being enthusiastic, child-like, and possessing Imagination Based Superpowers. Near the end of the series it's revealed that all five of the core ToQgers are actually children who've been imagining themselves as teenagers all this time, justifying their childish personalities.

The CMC are a lot closer to the age of the target demographic, and thus are easier for said audience to relate to. Pinkie Pie also has an above-average amount of kid appeal (she's basically The Hub's mascot at this point), though the show often uses her as a means to take shots at the mentality underlying many uses of this trope (for example, "The Piggy Dance," which parodies the overly simplistic and repetitive nature of many children-directed songs, and seals the deal by causing the infant Cake twins to cry in response to it). Spike appears to be this for younger males who may watch the show. He's a little boy, that's a dragon, that gets to go on adventures with older girls all day.

Kid-Appeal Character / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who often uses companions for this: When Sydney Newman and Verity Lambert were conceptualizing their new science fiction serial, Newman told her that the Doctor needed a friend who was 'a kid who gets themselves into trouble' to appeal to the child audience, which they decided should be a teenage girl. Since it was important that it didn't appear that anything creepy was going on, she was made into his granddaughter. Verity Lambert eventually created Susan Foreman, a weird, Creepy Good alien Action Girl, but Newman had her Retooled into a 'normal girl' in between the unaired pilot and "An Unearthly Child" to make her more appealing to the child audience. Susan's Suspiciously Similar Substitute Vicki was much the same, being even younger and having a cuter personality, as well as resembling a futuristic Scooter-Riding Mod. Jamie - very young, naive, a bit stupid, loveable and resembling a trendy 1960s teen as much as possible considering his 18th Century origins. He was written into a pure historical serial as a very minor character, but was added to the permanent cast at the last minute because the crew realised a cute teenage Scottish warrior would be appealing to children and young teenage girls. Frazer Hines even described his job at one point as being 'paid to get the girls back from the disco'. The Fourth Doctor companion K-9, a cute, Literal-Minded, brilliant but naive Robot Dog, was added for this reason. The Fourth and Fifth Doctor companion Adric was something of a failed attempt at one of these. He appears as a Suspiciously Similar Substitute for K-9 and was a Teen Genius conceived to represent both the child demographic and the growing cult fandom, but was notoriously unpopular due to a combination of Matthew Waterhouse's limitations, inconsistent scripting, and a heavy dose of This Loser Is You. A weird instance where the Doctor was retooled into a Kid-Appeal Character was the Seventh, who was written at first as a silly, bumbling, Fun Personified clownlike figure who did magic tricks and danced and made you laugh, because the executives were aiming for a much younger audience at the time. It didn't stick. The Eleventh and Twelfth Doctor pseudo-companion Strax, a good Sontaran and Minion with an F in Evil who is mindbogglingly stupid, does Slapstick and doesn't understand human concepts like gender or hair. The Thirteenth Doctor's upbeat and cheery demeanor, her childlike personality, and her general lack of sophistication and authority compared to the other Doctors (especially in contrast to Twelve, her direct predecessor, who had a much larger appeal with older fans) arguably qualify her for this trope.

Its species isn't that strong (though the Light Ball makes this debatable), and particularly in the first season, it got beaten by pretty much every Gym Leader at least once, but it always got back up.

Other PokÃ©mon like Togepi, Piplup, Axew and Dedenne have stepped to these roles in Pikachu's place. Jigglypuff, a reoccurring PokÃ©mon who the main cast used to run into time and time again mostly appeared to provide humor in the form of a running gag.

In the 1st Databook, where the creation process prior to the publication is detailed, it is noted more comedic events and characters were added to the original more serious premise, exactly in an attempt to be more palatable to younger boys.

He's even had several of the bigger faces in WWE (Dave Batista most noticeably) in a big brother role at one point or another. Compared to his uncle, the original Rey Misterio, you could say he's always been this. Rey plays directly to very little fans on his ring entrance. If there are kids on the sides next to the ramp during his entrance wearing merch masks, he'll walk right over and touch his forehead to theirs. One special kid will actually get Rey to take off his peel off part of his mask and put it on them, ala when Bret Hart used to take off his sunglasses and put them on a child in the front row.

Kid-Appeal Character / int_ec28245c	comment	Goten and Present Trunks in the later arcs of Dragon Ball Z bring a good deal of levity and irreverence compared to the increasingly self-serious adult characters. They treat gaining planet-cracking martial arts powers and fighting ancient Eldritch Abominations as a lark.

Nothing like as sexy as other female characters, Imoen is certainly the most innocent, and one of the best (and nicest) thieves you'll find. Pretty much a sister figure to the main character. And it turns out you're right, by the way.

Early on in the series, he was extremely popular and was the Breakout Character with his own spinoff within a year after the series started. His popularity was one of the reasons why Marvel created other teen superheroes like Spider-Man and the X-Men.

For example, in most episodes he'll be bickering with Jan, Star Saber's adopted human son, but in combat situations he and his team focus on rescue and evacuation while leaving combat to the older and more powerful Autobots. The few times he actually tries to fight are in desperate situations, like when he charged at the combiner Liokaiser in an attempt to distract him while others went for help.

Kid-Appeal Character / int_f3464a68	comment	The twins in Revenge of the Fallen, as Michael Bay states, were meant to be this (hell, they're even stuck with Bumblebee for much of the movie)... in spite of being violent Jive Turkeys who keep beating up each other. Their toy bios essentially say that being among the few Autobots who made it to Earth made them living their dream of working directly alongside Optimus Prime, which is certainly a common trait for this type of character. Their immature wrestling and talking about being "quiet like a ninja" also highlights their relative youth.

Kid-Appeal Character / int_fa738078	comment	Chibi-Usa/Sailor Chibi Moon of Sailor Moon is the youngest of the Sailor Guardians, being in elementary school while the others are in middle school or high school, and she's clearly meant to appeal to younger female fans. Unfortunately, the 90s anime messes this up — while her manga counterpart was semi-powerful and leveled up in lock-step with her teammates, her anime self suffered from Adaptational Comic Relief and Adaptational Wimp, making her a joke meant to be saved by the other Sailors when her attacks don't work and spends her time arguing with Usagi/Sailor Moon. Thus, when she becomes the focus character in its fourth season, the results are not pretty at all.

He wants to live a normal childhood of playing games and swimming, but can't because he's restrained to his duties of being the pilot of the Volt Frigate. Many episodes have him express a desire to leave his mission and have fun, only for his older brother Kenichi to admonish him. When he uses his super-genius skills to do something useful like manufacture a coffee-making Robot Buddy, said Jerkass brother yells at him for "wasting time" (which is reminiscient of younger siblings being written off as "annoying" by their older ones).

Kid-Appeal Character / int_fb9c177d	comment	Transformers Bumblebee from The Transformers was the original Trope Namer. Down to originally transforming into a Volkswagen. Every single version of him - ever - is a kid-appeal character. Almost every version of a kid-appeal character and their human ally being a pair owes something to Bumblebee's friendship with Spike. Strangely enough, in the original "More Than Meets The Eye" miniseries that began the cartoon, it seemed that Hound was geared towards being the kid-appeal character: his bio noted that he'd fallen in love with Earth and wanted to learn more about it, and he spent quite a bit of time with Spike. However, by the time the series proper began, Bumblebee was easily the closest of the Autobots to Spike. After the animated movie, the kid-appeal role was taken on by Wheelie for the third series of Generation 1 (which paired him with Daniel, the son of Bumblebee's partner Spike, though not quite as often) and all of Transformers: ★Headmasters. Unfortunately, the Wheelie and Daniel dynamic was nowhere near as popular as Bumblebee and Spike's, at least partially because they were much younger and so came off as much more of The Load. This role was then taken over by Holi in Transformers Victory, who was blue but otherwise a combination of all this trope's aspects. For example, in most episodes he'll be bickering with Jan, Star Saber's adopted human son, but in combat situations he and his team focus on rescue and evacuation while leaving combat to the older and more powerful Autobots. The few times he actually tries to fight are in desperate situations, like when he charged at the combiner Liokaiser in an attempt to distract him while others went for help. Cheetor from Beast Wars is also yellow, fast and the youngest one on the Maximal Team. And if that weren't enough to tell that he's the kid of the team, he's got freckles. Unlike Bumblebee however, he is actually quite a competent warrior and later became The Lancer to Optimus Primal. In Beast Machines, he's replaced in this role by Nightscream. It, uh, kinda didn't work. Wedge, from Robots in Disguise, is small, orange and gutsy, but where the typical Bumblebee-type in Transformers is fast, Wedge's assets are strength and engineering know-how (that, and being the leader of a team that forms a Combining Mecha). Side Burn also fills the role, a clown who constantly tries to hit on non-sentient red sports cars driven by the Butt-Monkey bystander. Hot Shot, from Transformers: Armada, also yellow, falls under the third version. A bit of a goofball but surprisingly competent in battle. His role was handed off to Ironhide in Energon and then 180'd right back to him in Cybertron. This is all parodied in the Botcon script reading "Bee in the City," where Bumblebee from Animated is identified as the kid-appeal character and is asked if he's a Bumblebee or a Hot Shot (also referencing how he was originally supposed to be a new Hot Shot). Over the course of the program various characters also called him Wheelie, Side Burn, Cheetor, and even T-Bob, much to his annoyance. In Transformers: Prime, Bumblebee became the Ankle Biter, in accordance with the show's more serious tones, being based more on his film counterpart. But he's still paired with the youngest of the human characters. Halfway through Season 2, Smokescreen is introduced and takes over the role for the remainder of Prime. By RID, as Bumblebee is now The Leader and Smokescreen has been Put on a Bus, the role has been passed on to Sideswipe. According to Word of God, in Bizarro Universe Shattered Glass, Soundwave is intended as filling the Kid-Appeal Character role. Transformers Earthspark pokes fun at this with Bumblebee seeing how much in-universe merchandise there is of him, and getting especially annoyed towards how most of it got his appearance wrong. For added irony, his role is to play mentor to the young Terran 'bots and their two human child partners, all of whom fit the kid-appeal role far more than he does in this series. TFWiki.net even has its own article on the subject.
