After to have sparkled the animation industry by the unquestionnable number of co-production in order to fullfill the Cancon content these TV stations need, Canadian animation is literally on its last legs, when a quarter-century ago, they came everywhere. Teletoon and YTV were at their peak years, because funds and money was here for letting creators a favor. It is also the first quarter-century of probably my favorite animated series from Canadian studios, Roboroach. An amusing series that teach youths and also grown-ups that money and greed can't buy happiness. And Reg was likely what Warner Bros. longtime directors, Freleng and Jones, have doing in the Post-studio-shutdown era on their finest form: Make greedy characters all the more sympathetic for such quick laughs.
But in 2026...? Télétoon didn't ran anything new anymore. And YTV is at its worsen, now that Spongebob and others has quit the airs for Crave! To me, this is important to know that even if Canadian Animation had suffers hard with the lazy way to use Flash Animation at final result, it leads to a variety of contents that today, we're not sure if that still exists in the streaming age.
The WildBrain set of TV kids specialties has all shutdown past October. A fewer Corus Kids specialties closed up last summer too. And reruns of past Cancon cartoons don't pay the bills to their announcers. For a longtime, we were sure that the classic Warner Bros. shorts, with such names as Looney Tunes, Bugs Bunny et all never will leave Canadian Television. They are nowhere to be found today, even not on FAST or streaming! Guess that the WB-Paramount announced merger only tell dark days to this valuable franchise for the conglomerate.
Fortunately, the visual novels business from Québec is in good hands, for now. But past magazines like Croc or Safarir can't made a revenue by comics pages alone. Anything from La Pastèque books publishers (Now owned by French big book-publishing Gallimard) are there Indie graphic novels can found an audience and bookstores to sells these, with evidently, a much casual form of writing in the dialogues than what in Europe, they would do the same.
This is such a miracle that the mess of sadistic humor and orgy of cartoony violence-era from Les Nombrils is definitely something from the past. I was sure that they would staying forever in store. And where many feminists and parenting groups claims more supervision of what authors doing in their work, like they have do with kids Television in the United States in the 1970s.
But how we could save Canadian Animation if the reception is not there? If YTV and CBC are the only potent Televisions to offered brand-new kids content again, that have to do with years to usurped the works of creators in order to seek funds and arranged everything to what the creators has originally envisionned. Teletoon has saddled all its energy by this.
Who knows if Canadian Animation studios would all shut their doors like it do happening to Nelvana the past summer, if this is the sad truth in the time the internet has done a very painful job to culture and its creators all around. The people from top and the one from basement share the same envy: For them, mainstream culture sucks and they find any attempts to put all their obfuscation to the public eye. This is what for example, many radios stations have for long kill the artistic vibe of the artform for only please these cliques whose, in the morning, never going to work by getting out of their bed.
