One animator put it plainly: “You have no idea how frustrating it is to see press release after press release touting how much money our animated film made and how many nominations we got; then [the studio] turns to people who have worked here forever and says, ‘We don’t need you anymore.’” Heh.

Hollywood Can’t Survive Without Animation. So Why Won’t the Industry Respect It?

Animated films made billions in 2026 while Pixar and Netflix cut jobs. Inside animation's paradox and its long shut-out from the best picture race.

I'm working in my desires field right now, but knowing where I want to be means I don't get paid much, and the work is few and far between makes me angry. I just want to be able to live comfortably, save some money and have a good pension at the end of doing what I enjoy...

- Malls are dead - Every “third space” basically requires you to spend $30 to get in. - There are barely any part-time jobs available for teens because people with MASTERS DEGREES are in those jobs because of AI and the economy. Need I go on?

Kids need/deserve traumatic films. Films that show death or lasting consequences that aren't resolved almost instantly. Fear, anger, grief and frustration should be part of kids movies. Kids arent stupid, they feel big emotions just like adults, they deserve to see those experiences reflected back.
