Why is it that shows pre 2010 have a higher quality than shows post 2010?
It seems to be the general consensus that cartoons started to be taken way less seriously by then.
Was it the case that we got older and cartoons were harder to take seriously or, that there was a shift in direction of how good cartoons were supposed to be?

Totally Spies was made in France, their animation stayed the same.
USA's pre-2010 animation was too slow and needed to be faster so we got the post-2010 animation

Cartoon making is a job just like anything else and just like any job people like finding ways to do as little work as possible. Especially if they're black or white.

My solution? Higher more Mexicans to animate.

*MAINSTREAM SHOWS
There are many, many great shows that match up post 2010s, but they aren't the ones with large fanbases. That is shit like R&M, Big Mouth, Gravity Falls, Star Vs, SU
All absolute fucking garbage that are mainstream and make your perception that these are the best the post 2010s since they are the most known

How much does making a cartoon even cost?

Depends on the show, especially when factoring in employee payment
Generally around $150,000 an episode is the base, it can go up to $500,000 for higher quality productions and has gone up to $5 million for an episode of Green Eggs and Ham (just because they paid a lot for voice talent and the like with Ellen backing)

Yeah I think the problem might just be getting older here. There's a TON of amazing animation right now. In my eyes it's one of the best periods to be a fan and it's never been more easy to find stuff you like.

Post all your favorite cartoons in greentext and I'll criticize if your opinion is valid.

Then she's just retarded

As long as all films are cgi it can’t be one of the best eras

>There's a TON of amazing animation right now.
Like what?

>normies cant tell the difference
Yup. This is why you produce as cheap as you can get away with.
Producing high quality stuff is pretty much charity, and there aren't many investors generous enough to make good content pro bono publico.

this

How much do the animators actually get paid per episode?

are you including anime in the equation?

>anime
>good

Because people just don't care.

Like, let's be real here: Unikitty is pretty much the most creatively-animated cartoon in recent years, but you don't here people talk about it, because... they just barely care. That's just not much of an appeal compared to Steven Universes's D E E P S T O R Y, or Adventure Time's D E E P S T O R Y, or Loud House's C H O I C E O F W A I F U S. And the people who DO care primarily on animation have already written off cartoons as kiddie trash and focus entirely on anime. So there's just no profit on doing more than the base necessity of animation.

Hell, even the new Animaniacs' animation is a pale imitation of the original, being far more stiff and having no proportion exaggeration at all, but... reviewers just didn't even notice. Not even that they didn't care, they didn't even NOTICE. That's how little cartoon fans care about visuals.


Pic related: it's not good animation, but is vaguely suggestive, which means it'll get a lot more attention here than actually good animation.

it's the only way that saying there are TONS of series makes sense

Oh yeah, and followup: for as much as anime LOOKS LIKE it's good, it's actually just more detailed and fluid; it's even more creatively bankrupt than cartoons. They wouldn't be able to do OG Animaniacs animations either.

That episode written and directed by Tarantino

I never understand this.
Every friend I've had who's a weeb tries to flog anime to me with their favourite moment that "took five years to make" and it looks like a perspective warp/everything's made of jelly as if the studio hasn't animated a moving person before.
Though I imagine that's mainstream fan choice since they can't all be weird over there.

can you give an example? I don't reall understand what you mean

The one that springs to mind had a big drill hand or something and hatch shadows.

Nahhh, they just shitty Sitcom
