Our cartoons are pretty crap
Jace Walker
Agree, 5min on ABC and you get a pretty good understanding on how shit our animation industry is, if there even is one.
Jaxson Martin
Still better than the Canadian "industry".
Henry Wilson
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.
Brayden Davis
Oh shit, and The Silver Brumby, but I can't remember if that was actually any good. I never really watched it.
Matthew Rodriguez
Does Australia have shows?
Jaxon Nguyen
Fucking Round the Twist. Whenever I think of that show the theme song gets stuck in my head for days.

Suffer with me.
Jeremiah Foster
Danger 5 is amazing.
Aaron Rivera
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.

Dylan Rodriguez
Concept was resfreshing. Shame it didnt last long
Cooper Harris
Lil' Elvis Jones was my favourite show as a kid
the show had lore and continuity before those were really things in kids cartoons
where are the animation jobs in australia? What studios are there?
Brandon Brown
>There are animators here (I am one) but the only real jobs are in teaching or the mining industry (which is dying out).
So basically Canada but with mining instead of logging? Man Anglo countries are fucked.
Luke Harris
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.
Andrew Kelly
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
Luis Reed
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.
William Miller
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.
Alexander White
we had this, I just remember the theme
John Collins
soon
Nathaniel Hall
Utopia (the Australian one) is pretty funny.
Wyatt Sullivan
The only Blinky Bill I ever remember seeing was live action. Everybody else only remembers a cartoon. Am I insane?
Oliver Adams
I'd love to see a show with just australians shitposting.
Eli Ross
Damo and Darren does that pretty well.
David Bailey

John Price
FUCK OFF WE'RE FULL
William Kelly
Rake is pretty great.
Cooper Richardson
You should make a cartoon about mining
James Wood
FUCK OFF WE'RE FULL

SHAMUS!!
Henry Ortiz
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).
Isaiah Lewis
I don't know, to be honest I was never really that into Blinky Bill.
Elijah Evans
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.
Ryder Young
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?
Leo Taylor
Is this just an Australia=Austria joke, or are you being serious?
Jordan Allen
The cartoon is a classic, you must have at least seen the movie.
Tyler King
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.
Jackson Lewis

Isaac Ward
OUCK FFF FE'RE WULL
Kayden Wood
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.
Isaiah Jones

>and its mostly crappy
*and it's mostly crappy
Hudson Rivera
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.
Benjamin White
Service work cannot sustain an industry without essentially descending into slave labor. And that is simply not possible for that industry in Canada.
