Newer waves of animations since the 1990s, especially flash animations, are trying to break away from the tradition. In 2001 "Time Magazine Asia Edition" would rate the Taiwanese webtoon character "A-kuei" as one of the top 100 new figures in Asia. The appearance of "A-kuei" with the large head, would probably lean much closer to children's material like Doraemon. So changes like this signify a welcoming transition, since folklore-like characters have always had a hard time gaining international appeal. "GoGo Top magazine", the first weekly Chinese animation magazine, conducted a survey and proved that only 1 out of 20 favorite characters among children was actually created domestically in China.
