A hot topic in the animation industry right now is whether the industry is dying or collapsing. And a lot of people think it is.There are a lot of factors contributing to the upheaval and apparent downfall of the industry, such as concerns around AI, the recent layoffs and budget cuts, and discussions around the animation guild contract that was recently ratified. I discuss these concerns as well as reports and statistics for the industry from the Global Animation Market Report for 2024, and projections for 2025 and beyond. If you're wondering if you should quit animation of youre worried for your career, hopefully this video can give you a clearer view of your options.
