Since the mid-1060s, the outsourcing of animation has increased in popularity immensely. Many American and western European productions had their animations done in far-off countries such as Taiwan, Hong Kong, India, the Philippines, and others.
Outsourcing comes with many advantages. For example, outsourcing allows companies to seek out and hire the best experts for specialized work.
However, price leverage is, without a doubt, the most alluring aspect of outsourcing. Foreign animation companies will employ world-class animators at a fraction of the rate they will have to pay in their home countries.
