碩士 / 臺中技術學院 / 商業設計系碩士班 / 99 / Themes and character creation are relatively important in appealing animations which highlight the characters’ personalities in narration in order to demonstrate the appearance and internal implication of various roles. This study aims to probe into the creation of Western and Chinese heroic characters. It treats animation character classification and general animation character creation criteria as the conditions, explores heroic character creation and criteria, and compares the conotation of heroic character modeling in two animations. The study initially clarifies the statements related to animation characters and classifies the roles. According to Vlaimir Propp’s narration theory, image semiotics and character study, general animation character creation is generalized：（1）to classify the characters in 31 kinds of story behaviors；（2）seven types of characters are generalized according to action of roles and 31 functions；（3）to construct roles personalities；（4）to create the character appearance by meanings of symbols in order to construct the criteria of general animated role creation.
This study also focuses on heroic character creation, and probes into heroic image recognition, cognitive memory, role prototypes of roles of heroic journey, and heroic journey. It generalizes the criteria of heroic character creation into the followings：（1）to identify heroic image by cognitive memory；（2）character images of eight prototypes in heroic journey respond to the interaction of heroic character；（3）interaction plots, original images and transformation of heroic character. Heroic character creation of narration is constructed. Finally, this study compares the heroic character creation validation and connotation in Nezha Conquers the Dragon King and The Prince of Egypt. It finds that the findings match the criteria of heroic character creation generalized by this study. Western and Chinese heroic demonstrations are consistent below：（1）heroic journey；（2）stable and in-depth cultural connotation；（3）ceremony symbolization and heroic modeling transformation.
