@littlekuriboh.bsky.social context regarding DIC entertainments anti union practices.

@littlekuriboh.bsky.social long story short this is the project Kyra was referring to that was feeding shorts into ai.
When you consider all of that. It’s very easy to figure out what project Kyra was referring to regarding the chikn nugget project.
And guess what happened In 2023. Frederator announced they were doing a chikn Nugget animated series. The series made after Kartoon studios acquired frederator and basically made channel frederator become ai slop.

Frederator which is now an in name only division considering they fired a lot of the staff behind Frederator. I actually remember a former Frederator development executive posting that they had an chief ai officer above him and was frustrated at the gutting of Frederator.
Their latest show. Bitcoin brigade is entirely ai done.

They also expanded on ai with that Winnie the Pooh ai cartoon that was clowned on last year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-vW...
Well what does ai have to do with this. Well Kartoon studios has began to double down on ai animation. This started with shorts but has since expanded to series. They produced text to speech shorts

In October 2021 they acquired frederator studios parent company WOW media. deadline.com/2021/10/geni...
These shows were throwback to the 80s in the worst ways without any of the good parts. Here is a video explaining about Kartoon Studios history youtu.be/UAIqbrE9UPQ?...
as cheaply produced low quality shows that were often tie in cartoons to celebrities, toys, video games, etc. that were often hilariously bad. Kartoon Studios on the other hand. Straight up garbage. They produced shows like spacepop. Stan lees superhero school and Baby Genius.
If any of you are familiar with history you’ll know they were notoriously cheap when it came to productions and were infamously anti union. Many Their shows like prostars and hammer man were notorious on internet circles
Because it used to be creator driven but now is owned by a certain studio
That studio?? Kartoon studios the successor company to Dic Entertainment founded by Andy Heyward DIC’s former CEO.
@littlekuriboh.bsky.social hey I have some information on the buzzfeed chikin nugget situation. This is talking about the Frederator show. This collaboration would have been exciting back in 2004 or 2010 but now it raises a bunch of red flags.
@kozmikkylekelly.bsky.social did you see the whole article. Also on the comment of Matt bralys movie someone said not commercial enough means not merchandiseable enough not able to make extra money from merch sales like hotel transvanya spiderverse etc
@kozmikkylekelly.bsky.social hey I found a non paywalled version of the Pixar article. It was bringing up how the 2020s films weren’t as rewatched as encanto archive.is/202603070040...
Agreed. I think Matt’s show is going to be a big success and I think indie animation is going to rebuild the industry from the wreckage left over by all the mergers @imindanger.bsky.social
@imindanger.bsky.social you mean streaming services. I was a little confused because you were implying that YouTube was going to be where most original animation is going to release
@imindanger.bsky.social what do you mean indie might blur into the mainstream industry
@imindanger.bsky.social what do you mean most shows are pivoting online
@tlrledbetter.bsky.social I found this. There is supposed to be a public comment period for mergers. To prevent the merger from happening people can call out that it’s a bad idea to have a merger. washingtonmonthly.com/2026/02/17/t...
@breanimator.bsky.social do you know when you can do kickstarter.
Thanks for clarifying. I was confused by what happened at Nickelodeon. A
@lindsaykatai.bsky.social so did they cancel a new wish.
@lindsaykatai.bsky.social question. What is going on with Nickelodeon. Why did they cancel a new wish. Does Skydance want to edcentually shut down Nickelodeon.
That was after the channel was sold to moonbug.
Who can’t find work are going indie. @danaterrace.bsky.social @pearllow.bsky.social and others. Even Disney feature veterans are starting indie productions.
Agreed. Indie animation is already booming as more kids watch YouTube indie animation than major studio shows(unless that show is already viral or made by internet creators). Glitches shows outperform most major studio animated shows while a lot of animation artists
Glitch literally established Glitch Presents to co finance other indie projects with streaming services in favor of exclusive streaming rights to shows like Lackadaisy.
