Almost all Millennials are a mistake to western animation. I wonder if zoomers and alphas are gonna do any better at the animation industry or not

Yeaaaaah.... no. We have even less life experiences than millenials do.
But given Skibidi toilet, there could be some aryan Gen Alpha create something epic using SK as inspiration.
 
"Except when women pitch--"

Stopped reading right there. Shut the fuck up, stupid bitch, and better your story pitch. You're getting rejected because your pitch fucking sucks and doesn't work with Pixar's standards (whatever they are at this point), so go fix it and try it again. Go complain to Brenda Chapman about this, why don't you?

Also censoring "Birth of a Nation" goes to show she has no respect for filmmaking. I hope she seethed and pissed herself in rage at college when she was learning about it in film history.

Her cringe ugly portfolio.

Probably not. Alphas especially might be the one where they trauma dump all their issues with Millennial Parenting the same way millennials use animation to air their grievance about Boomer Parenting.

If your character is 5 minutes from a boba drink, it's not relatable.
Nailed it.
 
My IRL experiences have shown me that no cool zoomers watch animation, or remember animated shows from their childhood with any fondness at all

I hope to be shown that I’m wrong, but it looks like things have selected for the freaks, exclusively
Probably because none of the cartoons are made for them. Disney has admitted that they've completely ignored the Gen Z and Alpha audience and let creators make animated therapy sessions. I'm a zoomer (and before you say I'm too young for this site, keep in mind some of Gen Z is nearly 30), and the only cartoons I remember fondly are Avatar, pre-movie SpongeBob, and reruns of 90s cartoons. Most zoomers and Gen Alpha kids are watching anime because even the most generic isekai is more appealing than the therapy sessions starring non-binary mixed-race children that populate western animation.

Interest in animation isn't completely dead. When the rare, actually good movie occasionally slips through, people come to support it. The Last Wish and K-pop Demon Hunters saw success because the teams behind them made something that appeals to kids. Cartoonists in the industry scoffed at the statement that Disney has failed to appeal to Gen Z, only to turn around and complain that things like the Owl House are taken off the air because the target audience wasn't watching.

Carve that shit on my tombstone. Amen.
My fucking life’s mission to bury this count’s body of work, and that of her ilk, or die trying.

Learn filmmaking before you come to market as a filmmaker? Clearly a problematic concept from a far less enlightened time.

Frankly I suspect that the bottom needs to fall out, and things need to get such that no American can make a comfortable living in an upscale city on animators wages. Flush out these dilettantes. Make it such that the only people working in the industry are “the maniacs who’d throw their lives away for anime,” to roughly misquote Animeta from memory. These soft little whiners have nothing of value to add to anyone’s culture. The sooner they go back to jumping show ponies or arranging bouquets, the better off we’ll all be.

Edited for fedposting.

I see, kek

The earliest Zoomers (90s babies born in the late 90s) will be pushing their 30s in the late 2020s (only in a few years left) which is barely surprising.

Based. Older cartoons were always better

True. But for some reason, most zoomers (most specifically the normie broccoli hair mumble rap fans) I know are more into shounen/action over moe/slice of life for some reason (due to the fact they are just hoodweebs like casual niggers), which is pretty decent for being the most japtoon-consuming generation today. But I still get your point

Idc if it’s indie or corporate. It better be kino instead of slop
The Last Wish and K-pop Demon Hunters saw success because the teams behind them made something that appeals to kids.
Those movies weren’t complete shit but they were still kinda mid

Good. Thank god for zoomers fr no cap

Mid is honestly good enough for most movies. Great is great of course but we aren't always up for great cinematic experiences. Most of the time something fun and breezy to will do just fine, even be more what you are looking for. Movies, tv, books, comics and video games are something we do to relax and recharge. Having something highly engaging and thoughtful can be too much.

We need great entertainment of course, classics having staying power for a reason, but don't nock off basic competent entertainment. It has it's place too. Our problem is that current entertainment is more shit than mid rather than missing the greats.

Because action fits better with their shot attention span lmao. Slice-of-life is "too slow" for those types, though if they're exposed to more and more anime, they may still come across SOL-lite episodes in shounen (they're out there) that may help them dip their toes into SOL shows.

Also yes, TikTok slop can get a Zoom-Zoom looking into older anime, it's likely the reason Ranma ½ got a resurgence. Though honestly, having smaller fanbases for SOL anime may be for the best in the long-run.

Industry veterans with proven competency have problems forwarding their pitches to companies due to overly-specific branding strategies\goals; A person who worked on ~2-3 projects (Provided they've actually gained tangible profits) would be even more constricted. That Megan woman just has very high expectations toward her situation.
