The Current State of Animation

Date: 2022-10-25

What started as an angry rant about animation stereotypes turned into an angry rant about HBO Max and The Oscars flipping off animation. Then I procrastinated on the video for like a month and now the video is a bit more of a reflection piece than anything. I do apologize that the video took so long, there isn’t really a good reason, but I hope it had a good outcome. While I didn’t do much, I did do research for this video, so time to credit the sources I used.

Most of those were for the headlines shot near the start, but I did use these to also gain data to base the claims of overworking and underpayment on. 

Here's the mentioned petition, again idk if it's still ongoing but it wouldn't hurt to sign.
