Any good Australian shows? Are they only good for shit posting?

>>94479009
Our cartoons are pretty crap

>>94479024
Agree, 5min on ABC and you get a pretty good understanding on how shit our animation industry is, if there even is one.

>>94479164
Still better than the Canadian "industry".

The only actually Australian cartoons I can remember are Blinky Bill, Plasmo and Li'l Elvis and the Truckstoppers.
All were pretty mediocre.

Did have a few decent live action ones, like back during the 90's and maybe early 00's. Round the Twist was fuckin' nice.

Oh shit, and The Silver Brumby, but I can't remember if that was actually any good. I never really watched it.

>>94479009

Does Australia have shows?

>>94479182
Fucking Round the Twist. Whenever I think of that show the theme song gets stuck in my head for days.

Suffer with me.

Danger 5 is amazing.

There are animators here (I am one) but the only real jobs are in teaching or the mining industry (which is dying out). Most of our animation on ABC is imported from the UK or over 20 years old from back when we still had studios. That being said the new Ninja Turtles is being made here so things might be picking up.

Concept was resfreshing. Shame it didnt last long

Lil' Elvis Jones was my favourite show as a kid
the show had lore and continuity before those were really things in kids cartoons

>>94479256

So basically Canada but with mining instead of logging? Man Anglo countries are fucked.

As I said mining and teaching, its a real case of brain drain because most graduates just leave the country.

There are a few midling studios like flying bark studios (they are curently hiring right now) but most of the work people get is remote work from other countries.

>>94479511
People swear by this show. I can see why people like it and in my Newgrounds days 13 years or so ago, I probably would of loved it to

>>94479658
Canadian animators can at least count on game jobs though, Australia only has one studio still doing stuff in any real way and its mostly crappy EA australian sports

Fucking clever.

Fuck, this used to air on Fox Kids in the states. And then I believe they moved it to Fox Family, back when that channel hadn't been bought by ABC. There was an episode where Santa Claus is revealed to be a network of obnoxiously drunk mailmen type guys. For some reason I loved that as a kid.

Utopia (the Australian one) is pretty funny.

>>94479182
The only Blinky Bill I ever remember seeing was live action. Everybody else only remembers a cartoon. Am I insane?

>>94479009
I'd love to see a show with just australians shitposting.

>>94481483
Damo and Darren does that pretty well.

At least Canada still produces cartoons on a regular basis. Even if the grand majority are meh to terrible (and yes, that does include Canadian-outsourced shows).

>>94481458
I don't know, to be honest I was never really that into Blinky Bill.

>>94484064
Canada only keeps producing shows to fill a government quota for Canadian content on TV. Once that gets lifted, the entire industry dies.

And they've already removed genre protection, meaning that the networks could stop making cartoons right now and make live-action sitcoms or reality TV or whatever if they decided to. Which is slowly happening.

So, Australia obviously produces stuff, I mean we get Australian stuff on TV here in Germany and they recently aired Lexi & Lotti so they make new stuff, but my question is: how did they finance it? Australia isn't really a big market and pretty much no one seems to talk about thier cartoons. Do a lot of countries import these Australian shows or is Australia + Germany enought to finance them?

>>94484742
Is this just an Australia=Austria joke, or are you being serious?

>>94481458
The cartoon is a classic, you must have at least seen the movie.

>>94479201
A few, but they're increasingly just copies of foreign shows, we've got some good stuff like Working Dog shows and Shaun Micallef's stuff but apart from that there's not much.

Not even an Austria = Australia joke buddy, there is a little bit of Australian stuff on the German market. Nektons (despite being also partly canadian) even managed to win in a popularity poll against the How To Train Your Dragon spin-off show.

The Canadian animation industry has already shifted towards doing mostly service work and has become second only to Korea for outsourcing. Your claims that the industry will collapse without original content is unsubstantiated.

>>94486776
Service work cannot sustain an industry without essentially descending into slave labor. And that is simply not possible for that industry in Canada.
