The global cultural contents market size is immensely large. The size of the domestic cultural market is also experiencing monumental growth that stands at a growth rate of 100% per year, and its size is estimated at 36 Trillion Won as of 2003. Encouraged by recent popularity of the Korean popular culture in the ASEAN nations, some bureaucrats who are responsible for the development of economic policies defend the need to cultivate the cultural contents industry as Korea�s next generation source of exports. At the end of the 20th Century, our expectation for the cultural industry is increasing enormously as was the case with the Internet bubble, and we truly feel that we are living in the age of culture. Let us conjure up the images of the products displayed in the exhibition case of cultural industry. There is an extensive range of product categories such as movies, music, fashion, arts, performance, design, broadcasting, theme park, characters etc. Among these, there is the genre of animation, which unfolds infinite world of imagination, dream and hope for our children and even for the adults.
