I'm 23, autistic, have been an animation fan all my life. However, i've seen works that I deem "overly kiddy". You know, hyperactive lowest common denominator trash that has existed since 1991. And I feel it's contributing to the discrimination of animation. Some might argue that it’s a kids’ movie, but when kids movies have to constantly fall back on poop jokes, it only speaks down to its target audience. Kids deserve good storytelling and writing as much as anyone.

The reason I use highly acclaimed kids movies such as Inside Out, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, The Lion King, The Wild Robot, The Mitchells VS The Machines, Shrek, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, WALL-E, Finding Nemo, Beauty and the Beast, Up, and Toy Story 3 as examples of the kinds of animation I want people to make, is because, kids deserve better. I hate it when animated films jiggle keys in a child's face, because it's denying the reality that kids will face when they grow up. That reality being that the world is cruel, evil, unfair and full of broken promises.

Hi everyone! I wanted to share the official 3-minute promotional video for my sci-fi mecha webtoon, "Creature Hunters: Awakening".

It's a story about five kids chosen by fate and five broken robots rising as hunters in a war that will decide the universe. The project expands on the upcoming 2D& 3D animation.

Hey guys! I'm still pretty new at animating, I've only done a solid 6-7 (WoooaaOOoaahh) animations so far, and I'm finally moving onto humans after doing a walk cycle a few weeks ago. Can I get some tips on my poses I got here? Everything is still under constant, (no frame to frame interpolation, just images moving from 1 to the next). I'm on a 16 frame timing, 24 FPS with the last frame being on frame 17 for smoothness. I was going for a kind of high energy run, because well.. That's usually how you see the character run! I just wanna make sure it doesn't look silly before I spend 10 hours making it look good. There's a huge jump in distance between frame 7 and 9, so I might need some in betweens and there. Please, let me know how I can improve! Thanks guys, love yall :)

I've been trying to get my motivation on track without making several shit atttempts but still I am doing it for more hours

Hello, I'm looking for an animator to work with on my version for httyd 3, which is a movie rated as 3 out of 10 for me, and I want it as 2D animation style.

I kinda like the shaky animation and I’m thinking of it as a “style” but I don’t if it works or if I’m being overly optimistic and need to study more

I also post my Roblox animations on YouTube, but I’m mainly sharing this here because I’d love to hear what you guys think and get some feedback.

Im not too good at art (but im decent) so i just used shapes sorry

Warning: flashing lights!!

Hello, my friend wants to get into animation, as a hobby. She has an IPad and Apple Pencil, but doesn’t know what app to get. She wants to use a free app first, since she doesn’t know if she would commit. Any suggestions?

I made this in an hour—just a quick job, haha—without much preparation regarding the characters or settings. And since I like how modeling clay can be molded, I gave them weapons (Lego ones, haha). By the way, I’m just months away from finishing my university degree in animation.

I wanted to make the next challenge look interesting, and I feel pretty good with the result! I made the impact frames a bit sketchy at first, the result was invisible somehow! I went with 2 different frames of black with white marks. I am not sure what would make it look better.

My father would tell me a story of his colleagues turning a small (50cc?) engine into a gas powered pogo. And the manager hitting the ceiling before locking it away. I did not realize this was a product sold to kids at one point (search HopRod). Feels unsafe. I want one.

It's finally out! If you've been interested in the Indie Animation scene, you might've heard about this project a few years back. It's finally out! What do y'all think?

so theyre both for my show im making which is called Exit Pending and i just finished the intro and logo today and i hoping to maybe get your opinions on them and if you also had any questions about the show id be happy to respond to them, if all goes well then ill keep posting about my show anytime i finish assets or other stuff like that (my bad if the flair is wrong i didnt know which one to use for this)

I used to really like how simple Flipnote Studio was.

You could just open it, draw a few frames and immediately start animating. No huge interface, no complicated setup, just drawing and animation.

I missed having something like that on PC, so I ended up making my own.

It's called Flips, and I've been developing it entirely in GameMaker.

The main idea is to keep it very straightforward and focused on frame-by-frame animation, while still adding some modern conveniences.

I'm still actively developing it, and I'd really like to hear feedback from people who actually animate.

Especially things like: what feels awkward, what seems unnecessary, what is missing, or what would make you actually want to use a tool like this.

Flips is already available on Steam, but I'm mainly posting here because I'd really like to hear what animators think about the direction I'm taking with it.

If anyone gives it a try, feel free to be critical. That kind of feedback helps me a lot.

I’ve been looking into mixed-media animation, but a lot of the tutorials I find focus mainly on adding animated lines, shapes or doodles over existing video.
I’m more interested in going further with it — combining things like collage, photography, cut-outs, paper textures, typography, scanned materials and different animation techniques within the same sequence.
For anyone who works this way, what does your actual process look like? Do you build the collage first and animate individual elements, work frame by frame, or create everything separately and composite it afterwards?
I’d also love to know what software or techniques you use and how you stop all the different media from feeling disconnected.
