Big Brother on its way soon... this year without the Carphone Warehouse celebrity character Mowbli.
Thinking about animation characters becoming 'stars' - moving beyond the screen and becoming 'other':
“Bugs had transcended his status as a cartoon character, and in doing so, made invisible both his author and the production process that created him.”

The female ND students really like Mowbli. They think he's really cute and funny - they can recite all the scenarios of his appearances in TV ads.
