The Characters: The Story of All of Them/Transcript

Scene: Introduction

 * Mike the Microphone: Hello and welcome, everyone. Tonight and throughout the series, we meet many of the extraordinary fictional children, women and men, who've shaped fiction's unique characters. Perhaps, no writing, no live performance, no film, no television program, no animation, no video game, no role-playing game, no theatrical play and no book have been as successful in finding its strength through cooperation and its identity through acceptance and respect. For generations we've come together, bridging subsidiaries and companies to seek a more hopeful future for all. That is not to say: Fiction's history is perfect. It's not. There are dark chapters in our past that we've only begun to confront. But today, we recognize the responsibilities inherited from both past and current generations and entrusted to us by future ones. We know, our success is built upon decades of hard work and rooted in fiction's history. And we know that a strong prosperous history of all fiction, can be as united as it is diverse. I hope, that, like me, you'll be inspired by these heroic and villainous fictional characters so that together we can write the next chapter in the great fictional history.
