So half the cartoons wouldn't get made or have shorter rushed seasons due to higher costs?

you mean everything starts looking like a cheap canadian cartoon?

many are getting shorter seasons anyway now, might as well make the animation good.

Hijacking this bait thread to now ask:
Would it even be possible to upend the animation industry and produce whole shows in-house, inbetweens included, in the USA?
I feel like to offset the expense of doing it, you'd not only need venture capital money to afford it, but you'd need to make gangbusters on merchandise for your first IP, and probably the second and third, to get the VC money paid back.

>calarts never existed
the school as a whole or your shitty twitter meme?

My guess is both the shitty meme and the homogenization of TV animation styles in general.

It would suck
Calarts is better than this shit

>venture capital money
no smart venture capitalist will invest in animation for the sake of upending the industry

>Would it even be possible to upend the animation industry and produce whole shows in-house, inbetweens included, in the USA?
sure, but youd have to move production to the cheapest state in the usa and have low wages. somewhere like missouri or indiana
instead of california where production costs and cost of living are max

This is nice, but it likely isn't as easy to animate as the bean head. The "cal-arts" style is really all about coming up with a more simplified style to lower costs whilst still having quality. The problem comes from these hack artists essentially copying each other's work and reusing the same design over and over. Can they really not find other ways to make an easy to draw model other than "bean head"? So bland, why'd you even get into this profession?

>star vs style
cringe

Imagine living in a world where OP didn't suck dog dicks.

Can you stop blaming CalArts for Tumblr nonsense? Some of the best cartoonists went to school there

>Some of the best cartoonists went to school there
thats just a fancy way to describe nepotism

You already answered your question: no, the answer is no.

I'm not lying, look up notable alumni and you'll see more than a handful of people who've made some great shit

dont titmouse and studio yotta do almost all their animation within the country

Look the calarts meme may not be accurately named but the issue it presents is still valid. Televised animation has stagnated to an uncomfortable degree as a result of nepotism in the industry. While calarts isn't to be wholly blamed many of the show runners pushing their friends and like-minded peers into the spot light were calart students and are responsible for animation's decline on TV.

Keys are still done in America yeah? So it's just a cheaper method of find the in-betweens. One option is simply saying "quality be damned" and hiring teenagers and such with low McDonalds like pay.

There also the technological route, there are programs that guess the image in-betweens and interpolates, it's not quite there yet, but I feel soon. Here's one as an example that free

Another option is simply good planning from character designs to animation to budgeting etc. etc.
If you have simple character designs, use a cheap and easy animation method (puppet rig), and plan things out to not have too much movement (frequent anime-esque talk scenes), you could probably pull it off.

>Pic not related
you posted an image with literal noodle limbs, so point not made?

But OP's pic is concept art for Gravity Falls, and the artist went to CalArts. She did most of the wardrobe, including Mabel's sweaters.

That says more about your shallow tastes than any problem with the industry. It's like complaining about the stagnation of music and how civilization's songs have gone to shit, and when others ask you to name specific examples or problems all you can name is Pop Songs like Katy Pary and it's clear you've never listened to real music or anything outside a kids bop album along what what's popular.

>pic related shows cartoons that haven't been on the air for nearly a decade.
Come on bro

Yas Forums would have one less thing to sperg about

ok Yas Forums
as king of the universe i decree that all shows greenlit this year will come from ohio arts instead

So no Pixar, no Disney Renaissance, no Henry Selick or Brad Bird movies, no Dexter's Lab, Samurai Jack and Powerpuffs. But hey, you got rid of beanmouth and Tim Burton.

Outdated and out-of-touch. Have you been under a rock?

Any SCAD cartoons?

Stuck with Scooby knockoffs and imported and edited anime

"calarts" as a style, not calarts the school. the style only started with 2 stupid dogs, and is almost exclusively found in tv animation
it clearly wouldnt apply to disney renaissance

Noodle limbs have been a thing before calarts

Calarts style exists because of economics retard. The reason animation production values were great in the 40s/50s and the 90s has more to do with a humming economy than the absence of "Calarts", you're confusing an effect with the cause. The industry is just adjusting to higher costs by using a style simple enough for animation to remain fluid within a reasonable budget. The actual question is whether that's the right approach (since they could always go for a "high quality visuals, low animation" approach like anime).
