The same animators that brought us gems like Johny Test and total drama?
Yeah they can go die in a fire

Animation isn't the problem. It's the dumbasses who keeps giving them such shit to work with

You know that it isn't them that writte it right? They just make it move.

I thought that show was australian

Take out the writing, Johnny Test's animation still sucked.

*whipcrack*

>Canadians
>animate
Toppum kekkum

Last good Canuck toon was Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy.

A lot of CGI animation is outsourced to Canada.

Canadian-Australian.

Seems to be a hallmark of Canadian stuff. Other countries come to them for cheap animation for often times real bad ideas. Sometimes you get something good, but one can only do so much for a bad idea on a tight schedule and limited budget.

>Sausage Party existing just enough to prove that "adult animation" can be a thing
>Disgruntled canucks getting mad over unpaid overtime and completely fucking over the PR for Sausage Party itself

I'm okay with this.

If this were the 1990's to early 2000's, this would be valid. Look at us now. I guess it's what you get for tapping a source dry

Ok, this is from an article of Cracked about Sausage Party.
It talks about the credits and CGI animation
>For someone in VFX/animation, credits are your resume. They prove you did what you did (like that you were really a supervisor or team lead) when you go job hunting. And you're always job hunting. Few studios offer "permanent jobs." The life of a CG artist is nomadic, wandering from job to job, from Canada to Australia to Singapore to Los Angeles, whenever your six-month or one-year or one-film contract is up. (I was put on a series of three-week contracts that they would keep renewing one to two days before expiring.) You don't want a year-long black hole on your resume (a year that might represent some of your best work) when you're trying to nail that cool new gig working on DC's dark gritty talking food blockbuster.
>I am not a Canadian labor law expert, so I don't want to tread too far here, but apparently many people say that it's somehow easier to avoid paying overtime to CG and tech workers in Canada than it is in the U.S. This, coupled with generous tax incentives, is probably why studios have moved a ton of production to Canada (and other countries), and the U.S. job market for CG work has shriveled up.

>Sony (Hotel Transylvania, Angry Birds, Guardians Of The Galaxy) moved to Canada, Digital Domain (Deadpool, X-Men) has a branch in Canada, Illumination (Minions) is in France, and Lucasfilm and ILM are pushing as much work as they can to Singapore. Even studios still based in the U.S. routinely outsource large chunks of work to India. Every year a U.S. studio shuts down (Rhythm & Hues, right after their Life Of Pi work won an Oscar) or moves to another country.
>Anyway, it's pretty normal to have "exempt" status as a CG artist in Canada, which sounds misleadingly positive but means your employer is "exempt" from having to pay you overtime.
(cont)

>And, sure, it's my fault because that's what I signed up for, but when you signed the contract expecting eight to 10 hours of work a day (as I did) and one day the VFX supervisor gets yelled at by his boss for being behind, and he turns around, yells at you, and says you're not going home tonight or any other night until you get things back on schedule, and after some begging you end up working 14 hours a day, and they don't give you any more money, or food, or even say thanks, that seems extraordinarily dickish, even if it's technically legal.

I'll take 'nothing' desu

American animation is a fucking trainwreck

And that was funded by Time-Warner. It's not even fully-Canadian. Hence, it didn't air in Canada since they have that stigma against airing foreign cartoons.

I thought that was done by Koreans and Flash.

US animation is good, just doesn't get utilized a lot. Canadian animation is cheap and soulless.

dude it will easily make 100 million dollars, no fucking normie got the news

Sadly, when I think of non Asian animation production crews now, I think of France with Wakfu / Dofus. That shit looks so clean and good when they roll it out.
Everything else, I still think of Korean / Japanese studios.

Isn't there an animation union?

they're clearly wrong, as you can have a hit movie and screw over as many canadian animators as you want and all they'll do is leave nasty comments onyour facebook and, apparently, a random wooden post

apparently there's laws in canada which allow companies to not pay animators overtime

>the pinnacle of Canadian animation

It's a shame that Sup Forums views Canadian animators as a joke. Pretty much every American cartoon on right now has some kind of Canadian connection.

Considering they have yet to make a single decent cartoon, seems they're really quite not that needed.

Fuck that show and everyone involved in it.

No, this is.

No you are thinking of Kubo.

Not to mention that the NFBC has been responsible for some great animated shorts since the 50s.

canadian animation is nothing without canadian animators. But as far as Japan, the US or even Europe is concerned, they can shove their Flash tween animation "expertise" deep down inside their ass.

You mean all the Hasbro ones. A lot of cartoons we see on right now are animated in Korea or LA.

A bunch of shows on Disney XD had animation dinner in Canada.

*Done

Speaking of, a reminder: glassdoor.com/Reviews/Laika-Inc-Reviews-E221728.htm

Not Canada but yeah

Canada is literally garbage at everything.

Garbage cartoons,

Mostly garbage actors

Garbage alcohol

Fucking hell, Canadians are even garbage at shitposting.

Maurice LaMarche will like to have a word with you.

You call Budweiser alcohol?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nelvana_programs

Nope never ever made any contribution to animation.

>We are SKILLED. We are ESSENTIAL.

You're not * 2.

I'm a Canadian animator, and this is one of the most retarded things I've ever heard. A lot of you come from low skill, lowest bid operations. I know you don't know the craft, and you'd know it too if you cared to learn. I left the mainstream animation industry in Canada because I have some motherfucking dignity and was tired of having my name in those (what I'll charitably call) "credits".

Y'all can cram it. Up your ass, up your nose, choke on it - I don't much care.

Just.... fuck. Wow.

Easter Fucking Fever says hi.

That would have been an accuatate slam 20 years ago, user, but there are literrally over ten craft beer breweries in my town alone.

*WHIPCRACK*

i was going to reply to your post but then i noticed you have a tripcode

A
FUCKING
LEAF

Animators and SFX people are notoriously underpaid but its ok because they are entitled millenials

Being notoriously underpaid is NEVER a good thing, they should be getting payed at least $20 dollars a hour.

>I thought that was done by Koreans and Flash.
The Flash is real?

Canada is just fucking tumblr the country.

Real Question. Who's fault is it that they didn't get paid? Their own studio or whoever produced it?

What is underpaid?

I think this is referring to the Sausage Party animators

Blame sucky writers/producers, not animators

what are ypou expecting from a socialist wasteland?

Capitalism is the only bed for true creativity

That was long ago, user. Canada has lost its touch.

>2011

No.
