Toon Boom and Flash were just tools.

It was Canada and it's government subsidized animation industry that used those tools to destroy the medium for two generations.

Canada created Toonboom retard, and don't act like american studios haven't hopped aboard the puppet rig meme.

Mercury does great work with rigs

It's still inferior to traditional 2D. It's just a polished turd.

>It was Canada and it's government subsidized animation industry that used those tools to destroy the medium for two generations.

Socialist societies never create good art. When the government's footing the bill and the only incentive is "the more content you produce, the more government dollars you get", the best they'll ever create is Johnny Test.

And that's just what Canada and its socialized arts industry did.

it’s not the tool’s fault

Canada actually does a lot of outsourcing work for american studios. While for the most part I find them inferior to traditional 2D animation, the new Mickey shorts by Mercury (a canadian studio) are decent. I'm surprised there isn't more interesting or experimental shows done in Canada since it's government funded. There's no need to break even or profit so why not do what you want as an artist as apposed to something bland and safe?

>I'm surprised there isn't more interesting or experimental shows done in Canada since it's government funded.

There used to be and that was the glory days of Canadian animation. The National Film Board of Canada (who hands out those sweet government checks) funded a LOT of Canada's most famous and award-winning animated short films from the 80s and 90s. Stuff like The Cat Came Back, Little Black Flies, To Be, Special Delivery, Bob and Margaret, etc. Pretty much everything you saw on Oh Canada was created using the socialized government arts funding. Dunno if feature films like Heavy Metal and Rock n Rule were before the government funding for animation or not, but they're also highlights of when Canada gave a shit.

What kept animation studios from abusing the government funding was the high cost of buying into animation. The infrastructure and massive staff and facilities and equipment required pretty much reduced animation to a rich studio's game or something to be outsourced to Korea. Toonboom and Flash took all those costs and reduced them down to a computer program.

Suddenly, in the 2000s, Canadian animation studios were popping up like weeds, all using those programs to churn out endless quantities of ultra low quality animation, all funded by tax dollars thanks to the socialized arts program. Johnny Test, Scaredy Squirrel, Jimmy Two Shoes, Almost Naked Animals, Yakkity Yak... All that horrendous shit that seemed to never stop. All thanks to animation getting faster and cheaper to produce, all funded by the socialized government arts programs.

Like most socialized programs, it's a nice idea and all, but only works on the Honor System.

Would you like every cartoon to be under Korean studios instead? They do traditional animation.

Korean studios can do decent work, the problem is they don't do so well in this current "board drive, no scripts" culture of animation. Some cunt in LA doodles up a terrible looking board for OK KO or Adventure Time or Steven Universe and sends it over to Kwan at Rough Draft or wherever with the note, "Tee hee, we're free spirits here at Cartoon Network and don't adhere to character models and scale! Just follow the board! lol kthx!"

And so you get horribly sloppy, inconsistent, amateurish looking crap because poor Kwan has to decipher some California lesbian's doodles while still "adhering to her individual quirks". Board-driven special snowflake shit like that doesn't work if the special snowflakes are then sending their boards to a foreign country to do the work for them.

I remember Rock and Rule being cited to have nearly bankrupted Nelvana so I think it was a self funded production.

Based and Kwanpilled.

Probably right. Though the string of low quality TV series based on licensed properties like Care Bears and Beetlejuice that Nelvana began producing in the late 80s and early 90s were all probably government subsidized (and by then, Nelvana was outsourcing a lot of their actual animation to satellite studios in Korea and Taiwan).

It's only partially funded. Most of that money is supplimented by the TV Channels which are owned by the telecoms, who are the most greediest motherfuckers in the country.

>Like most socialized programs, it only works on the honor system
Spoken like the typical retard.

The point of the subsidies Canada was handing out was to create business and jobs in the entertainment field, which they would then tax to produce a net gain in revenue. That's why it was a subsidy - they were reducing a portion of the costs, not the full costs.

There were good and bad results, but that's to be expected of any industry. Canada also established a number of 3D animation that worked on major films in the US and so on. Today Vancouver is one of the major entertainment production centers, which was their whole objective. You don't think bureaucrats and tax collectors give a shit if some Yea Forums puke has opinions on Yakkity Yak, do you?

Don't talk back.

>Today Vancouver is one of the major entertainment production centers

Primarily as a result of Cancon laws, requiring any media distributed in Japan to have a percentage of Canadian people employed in its creation. Basically forcing American companies to outsource SOMETHING from their product to Canadian laborers or otherwise not have access to that market.

It's cheaper to film in Georgia, but studios film in the far more expensive Vancouver and Toronto anyway because otherwise they can't sell their show/movie in Canada.

Why not? Yea Forums is full of retards.

>Requiring any media distributed in Japan to have a percentage of Canadians employed in its creation
I'm a leaf with a bit of animation skill how do I
into anime.
It was a Yakkity Yak post ya hozer.

We need Deus Vult edits of Crusader Rabbit.

I'm gonna assume he meant "Canada" but lost track of his point because he was also watching Naruto or something.

You have absolutely zero evidence of this. Canadian TV is already dominated by American shows by more than half and movies released here are always 100% Hollywood-produce.

I think what I heard is Canadian run networks are required to have a certain percentage of programming be Canadian produced.

>think what I heard is Canadian run networks are required to have a certain percentage of programming be Canadian produced.
That's still stands, but the idea that Americans are forced to make shows in Canada so that they can air in Canada is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

Yeah that's a load. I am 100 percent certain that SU has little to no leafs involved in it and it still aired here.
