SIMON Cowell has "set his heart" on becoming a success in Hollywood and is planning to release ten animated cartoon movies including a revival of Betty Boop.
The 55-year-old media mogul is so impressed by the success of Disney's Frozen that he wants to create his own movies.
A source close to The X Factor judge told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "It is the logical step for him – he already has the biggest TV formats in the world and some of the world's biggest-selling musicians. He has already achieved so much.
"However, he has always been attracted by the prospect of creating great films that people want to see. He especially loves animation.
"When Simon sets his heart on something he doesn't rest until he has succeeded."
Simon's plans came to light last year when he confirmed he had ten new musical animated cartoons in the pipeline.
He said previously: "Films are a great vehicle for breaking records. Using Frozen as an example – the movie pushed the music and the music enhanced the movie. I think that's how we're going to work.
