>>95082624
No they aren't. They're minor talent who don't have jobs so they don't produce anything consistently.

I only see 2, maybe 3 animators in that image

>>95082624
Remove everyone but Partridge from the image and I'd agree with you.

>>95082624
Assuming anything actually gets animated, the punchline of every joke in every cartoon is going to be "funny exaggerated face haha".

>>95082648
Sad but true.

>>95082648
>Two of them finally manage to get a show
>Drop spaghetti everywhere and get autistic over a simple name change
The future truly is fucked. Granted Zach managed to get a second chance but from the look of the poster it doesn't look too good.

>>95082624

The only two people even worth a shit in this picture is Harry Partridge and maybe Jazza.

And Harry only makes things once in a blue moon.

>>95083746
Its like an actual plot of a hellbenders animation. The network wants a simple name change so Zach and Oney freak out over one simple thing.

>>95082624
>any of them
>animating
Ha HA

These guys ain't shit, try the ones who actually get shows made.

>>95082624
As much as i like them these guys are not the future, Internet animators are usually lazy Jazza is the only good one in that pic and he is more of a teacher

There is no way to predict the future in this kind of things i mean look at Justin Roiland he is an useless piece of shit he can't even draw but he has a funny voice and friends in the right places but he has a very popular show now, i said popular not good, but still that's way more than just a funny internet parody

>>95083806
Nigga Ross is animating his web series right now. He's the only one of those people I actually have and artistic respect for. And Harry he's good too besides that nobody has any artist integrity by my standards

>>95083806

Harry and Ross are both still animating. Unfortunate reality is cartoon shows are neigh impossible to do alone, you need to establish a proper team for them and teams cost money. Main reason why so many even talented animators moved on to video game industry instead, they can create much more content for games by themselves than they can for a proper cartoon or a short film.

I just saved it to post here minutes ago, it was the first one I could find that had all of the cartoon vloger types

>>95085098
God so many of those guys are just not animators at all, i would actually be more worried about the generation that those guys would inspire if they somehow became the nre front runners

>>95082689
This is the right answer.

>>95085098

They look like the common shitters you used to have in Newgrounds that couldn't animate for shit but wanted to be "popular animators". Now those same lazy kids just flock to youtube instead.

>>95082648
Absolutely.

I can't remember the last time ANY of these people actually MADE something.

Harry should not be among those guys.
He makes 10 minute frame by frame animations by himself.
Put all the work of the others together and you probably would have the same amount of effort as one of Harry's animation.

But Arin is the only one in that picture who doesn't animate anymore. Ross and Harry are probably the hardest workers out of all of them.

I don't see Tyson Hesse on there.
A guy who has a likeable, unique style with a lot of breadth of experience who has actually gotten a job in the industry producing animation for a product that is getting almost universal praise.

>>95082624
>Ego
Has not animated in a bout half a decade. No, the shit posted on his channel does not count, because if you look into it, you will find that every StarBomb video was done by someone else (Studio Yotta, Spazkid, Rubber Ross, etc.) The last thing he actually animated himself was the last "Awesome" cartoon, which was forever ago, and even then, he had Suzy help out with coloring (same thing for Dino Lazer Fite). He has already made it, lives in a mansion, married his high-school sweetheart, runs a successful business, and gets to play video games for a living, all while being famous and well loved for doing that and for voice acting random shit that catches his interest. Already said animation is just not his thing, and the only reason he ever did it in the first place was to have an excuse to voice act.
>Jazza
Art guy, but rarely animates, and does more art teaching than he does art making. He is successful enough, and because tutorials were not hit badly like animation, he is financially set. Already scammed fans twice over and got away with it, so he should be good to go for life.
>Rubber Ross
Actually skilled, but sucks at VA and writing. Cares about animation as a whole, but terrible to work with, and it shows. Rides off Ego, which works, but tied down by other company. At least he is actually still working on animations, even if they are average at best.
>3 clowns at the bottom
Sleepy Cabin / Cast, Schmucks, and Oney Plays. With the money they earn from that, animation just seems pointless. Even if they do, Zach only cares about getting a tv show, were as Chris only wants to focus on wacky 3D CGI animation, so they both pidgeon hole themselves. Partidge is better than all of them combined. However, Partridge was born with a silver spoon (rich as fuck rock star dad), so he only does animation passively, which, again, means it looks great, better than most, buuut, also means it takes waaay longer than most.

Animation's future is fucked.

The real animation revolution isn't with some independent animators who barely make anything. The revolution that I see is one where animators and animation studios who want to make whatever they want bypass traditional TV networks and go straight to streaming, using their own site or partnering with companies like Netflix or Amazon.

Releasing animated shorts once in a blue moon that consist of yelling and retarded faces isn't a real revolution and never will be.

>>95086378
Honestly this. The Netflix announcements confirmed as much to me: The future of western animation is in streaming.

Fuck off, Joe is the only one we need.

>>95086374
Harry also works solo on everything he does animation wise. If he had a team of like 4 other dudes he could probably crank out a 5 min toon a month

Not seeing an lot of Sexual Lobster here.

Wasnt Harry working on a TV show or somthing, thats why he's not released anything in years

Has Ross' even done anything significant ever? Gameoverse when it eventually come maybe.

They're the heroes we don't deserve, but need right now. Also: FELIX COLGRAVE

The internet is a terrible place for cartoons because its architecture is largely self-referential and optimized for increasing the popularity of existing brands and ideologies. All these guys ever did was make parodies of video games and now they make commercials for video games. They're the antithesis of every cartoon or cartoonist that ever made anything meaningful. They're the agents of a system that destroys art. fuck em.

He's just a guy on YT who tells stories with very minimal animation (posing really) and very beginner looking backgrounds in Flash. Apparently that constitutes someone as an "Animator" for animation panels.

I don't mind him but I ain't calling him an animator.
