10 Most Popular CGI Characters

CGI, an abbreviation of Computer Generated Images is the application in computer graphics which is mainly used in video games, film, TV etc. Till 1990 this technology was very rarely used by the developers of the films but in 1991 when James Cameron’s Terminator 2: Judgment Day was released, this technology entered the mainstream cinema and gradually many notable directors started using CGI in their films. CGI animations films were regularly used in many animated films but its usage in the live action films were very rarely found as it was experimented and implemented by very few directors for example James Cameron and Steven Spielberg. Since 2000s and onwards CGI technology is constantly used in the films and many live action movies featuring CGI characters made their way in the mainstream cinema and found great success. So since we have talked about a little history of CGI technology, let’s now come to the topic which is the most popular CGI characters. There are number of CGI characters which are considered as media icon but here I have posted the list of ten most popular CGI characters, so let’s start with number 10.
