So when was the exact moment Americans gave up on complex animation?

>>94728503
The end of the 90s. Id guess spongebob or New batman adventures

I haven't given up. It's just our western world is getting a bit more broke and desperate and there's little to incentivize its creation

>>94728503
What is a budget?

In the 90s Warner Bros injected huge amounts of money into animation because of the huge boom of interest after Roger Rabbit and Simpsons

Also, if you don't love something it doesnt get taken care of

Also OP is a huge faggot, Rick and Jewery has good animation

Do you want to post an example of all of America giving up on "complex animation", or do you just want to post a still image and then contribute nothing?

when adobe flash was first released

Honestly RnM's action segments are actually legit fucking good. Pickle Rick fighting Jaguar was fucking good contrary to the contrarians

>animation
>posts a static picture

>complex animation
is this the latest nonsensical term that pseuds who pretend to know and care about animation use?

>>94728720
R&M has serviceable animation. It's not mind-blowing, but it gets the job done just fine.

It was probably Hanna Barbra's fault

>>94728503
When computer animation was popularized, whenever that was

>>94728503
It was a progression.

>bad CGI shows/movies
>bad flash era
>Adventure Time era

>>94728503
Should we go back to the 80's style where things looked nice but there was a lot of repeating frames? I think it would be worth it.

When they saw anime got away with it, and Jews raised the bets.

In the 90s when it was cheaper for them to commission many Japanese/Korean sweatshops animation studios to animate for them instead of pay all the shit they have to do in US and It have been virtually like that ever since with some new South Asian sweatshop animation studios appearing lately

There's a difference between complex animation and complex designs.

80's cartoons looked better in still frames, but newer cartoons look better in motion.

>>94728503
Free market, anonkun. Nobody can afford to pay competent animators. Only difference between us and ching chongs is rarely they get a group that cares about the show and goes balls deep for pennies because it's something they have a passion for. Example OPM

Many people on this board jerk off to Spectacular Spider-Man which has an atrocious artstyle but nice animation, and then shit on 90s SMTAS which reuses a lot but people in it actually look like people?

>but newer cartoons look better in motion.
factually wrong.
modern cartoon overuse paper dolls and stock assets, the 3rd dimension is lost. even shows like thundercats could dare to have actions sequences where both people and the camera were moving, and the environment changed.
In modern days the best you get is colse up of impacts and some anime screen flashes when they need "action"

>americans
Have you seen the shit non-americans and the japanese people put out? Soviet animation is extinct. The French are decent.

>>94732115
this. it's fucking heartbreaking.

>>94728503
Adventure Time happened. Its incredibly simplistic character design and animation that doesn't rely on consistency was refreshing for its time, but now it forever changed how the average TV animated show looks.
