disney looks like disney because a bunch of money comes in from the top down. same with classic CN or classic nick or saturday morning cartoons or any of that. if we're not getting steven spielberg coming down from on high to dump cash into pet projects for fun, then our shows shouldn't aim for that

zeurel is a goddamned hero for just putting the full-ass budget for monkey wrench at the end of every episode, but i don't know that there's been enough acknowledgement of the fact that the only reason that show looks so good is because he does a little over half the labor for free

There are so many interesting stories that are being completely left by the wayside by the new "indie wave" purely because the way that it's paid for absolutely sucks and is unstable in every way. There's a reason the giant studios can do more animation, and it's mostly about stability of income.

We need more money to go into the indie "system" that isn't purely fan merch-based so that people who don't have EXACTLY the right circumstances can still make these things and have space to hire people to help them. Government subsidies, LARGE grants, and private big dollar investors are needed.
