It's been a rough week at Warner Bros. Discovery as animation is at the center of another big content purge. Various Cartoon Network and Warner Bros Animation projects were taken off streaming and digital distribution overnight without any involvement from creatives or their executives. From Aquaman to Yabba Dabba Dinosaurs, many of these series and movies were wiped without a second thought. For shows reliant on being HBO Max originals (Fungies, Tig N Seek, Summer Camp Island), the sudden move is even more damaging. If Zaslav cancels Our Flag Means Death, you know it's a sign.

I talked about supporting individual animation folk, but I wanted to direct y'all to their channels in case y'all get any updates through them. Support the creators below!

The pure irony of the Warner/Discovery Vs. Animation situation is the fact Zazlav (and the people who support his ideas) thinks everything he's doing will help "save the company big money."
But as a recent stock report has shown us; after pulling out/cancelling so many projects, the company has lost 3 billion dollars...which sounds pretty dang huge, in my book. This coupled with the fact that all the animators and creators that have been cut are now suing Zazlav for what he did is just making things worse instead of better
True, at this rate, Warner bros Discovery is going to go bankrupt.
@The M What is the house of the dragon?
Zazlav has even stated "Oh I didn't do this"
Haha yeah right, you Zazlav have started the HBOlocaust. Discriminating against animators, great job.
The animation industry (and really, all popular entertainment to a degree) is in such dire need of some *major* interventions and shake-ups. This, the Netflix layoffs, and a couple other recent examples show capitalism has hit the point where - as you mention here - the hammer can just be dropped on all this shit without any second thought or sense of empathy, and they become completely misguided as to what makes something the next big success. It's just all so depressing to think about, man.
I always say this.
If you ever want to make a cartoon, stick with webtoons. If you ever want to watch or save a cartoon, stick with DVDs, Wcoforever or B98.

I think that’s a philosophy that can apply to animation as well, since, as you stated in this video, this #NewDeal4Animation is not going to be a silver bullet that magically puts an end to the stigmas that the medium has constantly been subject to. Definitely calling out Warner Bros. and HBO Max are vital to keeping the medium and its creators alive and thriving, and to try and ensure that other studios/streaming platforms don’t do the same. But even then, the philosophy that “animation is an art form for all” is one that must still prevail. We can certainly acknowledge and appreciate the places where it gets the respect and recognition it deserves, while still raising our voices whenever the medium gets trampled on or has the rug pulled out from under it, like the case was with these platforms recently.
This shit is so sad bro...
No matter the era, we get duped by publishers. 😔
I’m so sick of seeing creators and artists of animated series or animation as a medium always constantly getting shit on & disrespected by those within the entertainment industry. This Warner Brothers merger Tax write-off is such a great middle finger & mess in terms of so many promising and potential animated shows including their creators being cuffed and treated like this. Any lover or fan of animation should be pissed about this constant shitting on animation creators along with the shows they’ve worked so hard on & put so much passion into their works...to get fucked like this. Yet again another example of corporate greed killing off creatively as well as out-of-touch executives making crap decisions just to cut production or make a fast buck off of a product that they can easily commercialize off of. I swear this constant shitting on and treating animation as a lesser medium /storytelling art form then live-action truly makes me so pissed.
Animation deserves more respect. And David Zaslav should be fired.
Discovery actin like fuckn Nintendo right now
Except Nintendo still makes bank
I was planning on subscribing to HBO Max once shows like Prince Ivandoe, Invincible fight girl, the new Gumball and others but with all this Corporate junk going on I'm worried that it might not be worth it or even the shows going on past a few seasons.
This is a great video. God I hope things can get better
Me too
This man is criminally underrated, he posts videos that are long enough to be considered movies yet doesn’t even average 15k views
Unfortunately my country (that been Ireland) doesn't sell TV Shows digitally, only movies. So aside from Netflix, Paramount+ (which is lacking on content compared to the US iteration), Apple TV+ (which I don't have as I'm not a fan of Apple as a company), Amazon Prime & Disney+, its pretty hard been an animation, as its hard to find stuff if its not on DVD.
There is Sky, but I ain't paying €90 a month, that's too expensive, especially with the rise of living prices going up.
There is also Now TV, which I have checked out, but I'm not a fan the service as a whole.
I have asked elsewhere as to why Ireland doesn't sell TV Shows digitally, if it has to do with some Irish law or something, or maybe Sky Ireland has exclusivity rights or something, as in the UK, you can buy TV Shows (for example, Hey Arnold) on Amazon Prime, but you can't in Ireland.
I am honestly curious if Ireland is the only country that doesn't sell TV Shows digitally, if there are other countries that don't even sell TV & Movies digitally, cause if there are, they're going to have it even worse.
Definitely worth making copies for yourself (even illegal ones).
When a Company takes your ability to watch something. I’ll say piracy is OK. When it is the only option
I hate just how disrespected the animation medium is. It’s terrible, maybe it’ll get better as our generation gets older and replaces the older generations.
At least Docks Cartoons and A Very Tall Problem are saving us.
Hey this is a great video, but I think that working on audio and overall mic quality would boost your content to the next levels. The video itself and the content is some of the best stuff I have seen. 👍
How did delhi perdict that cartoon network was shutting down within 1 year, like what
Like this video was in 28 aug and the shutdown of the cn studio closure of leaving the building to merge with wb was in aug 1
can't take credit for that; there were rumblings that it was gonna happen for a while
#Newdealforanimation
I don't like how warner brows is just dropping the hammer on some of there beloved show is just a bad move and some of these show like infinity train, uncle grandpa, love um and hate um are never coming back, But we can only when all the money starts going down, then what will he do, when are are you going to make another video because I think when you make videos they make sense.
Lmao
You sound like this: 🤓
