Abstract
This study aims to examine the diversity of animation supply on OTT platforms using the top 50 domestic and international animated films in terms of box office success as a basis. The key findings are as follows. Firstly, subscription-based OTT services generally tend to offer only popular selected animations. On the other hand, VOD-based OTT services were found to provide most hit animations through purchasing or renting options. Subscription-based OTT services had lower content scale and diversity compared to VOD-based OTT services. Secondly, when examining the distribution by nationality, animations from three countries including Japan, the United States, and Korea accounted for 68.0%. When looking at the specific OTT platform services, Japanese, American, and Korean animations had a high supply rate across various OTT services, including Wavve Purchase (83.3%), Apple TV (75.0%), Disney Plus (100.0%), Watcha (66.7%), and Netflix (70.0%). Thirdly, when examining the distribution by genre, adventure, fantasy, and action accounted for 64.0%. When observed on specific OTT platform services, the supply rate of animations within these three genres was high on Wavve Purchase (66.7%), Apple TV (62.5%), Disney Plus (66.7%), Watcha (76.7%), and Netflix (60.0%).
