What killed animation? Or who killed it...

Steven universe because it inspired others to follow their example and produce garbage all for the sake of progressive

People complaining about "Fetish Fuel" & getting offended by everything, and thus playing everything safe.

It died naturally, technology and the market dictated that what we have now is what the majority want.

Parents groups afraid of violence in the 80s and 90s.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force, that lazy man animation that was cheaper that also filled the dumbasses interest is what killed it
Really, what's the point of making anything when some asshat with a stolen Flash can make paper cut outs say stupid shit and get all the money for it?

Oh yeah and Cheap CG did it too

go a step further and say Adventure Time, that was the one that started it all, SU is more of a spinoff

It was Red Herring!

Memes aside, action cartoons (which /co/ praises as the peak tier of animation) died because kids stopped buying so many toys, plain and simple.

Cartoons now have to compete for more headspace in the era of the internet, which resulted in cuts across the board. The ones who thrive are the ones best at doing a lot on shit budgets hence AT style, SU style, flash toons, etc.

Shrek, dreamworks

Anyone can assign blame to one thing but in the end it's really business.

The failure of the PPG movie is what eventually fucked CN which WAS kind of an animation mecca and they started making cheap live action shows trying to recoup the loss, when a network literally made for cartoons stopped doing it other networks were like "fuck that" and now no one is willing to take any risks

but the west in general places little value on animation, cartoons specifically, because they see it as something exclusively for children.

Meanwhile animation is integrated into japan's modern culture and treated like an art form in france
