This blog heavily covers the extent of animations growth as an industry. Animation super-giant Walt Disney Pictures controlled the animation forefront for years until in the late 90's another two popular competitors came out with their own animated features. Pixar animation studios, and Dreamworks, both began production on several animated titles in order to catch up to the high Disney standard, some of which were Toy story, Shrek, and Chicken run.
The reason all of these films were such a smash hit is because the art style and means of story telling appealed to audiences of all ages.In other words the more people that are interested in the film the more money that feature makes.
Because of the growing demand for animated films the amount of jobs in the animation field also grew, students out of college with only a bachelors degree and no job experience could secure a job in the animation field in 2012 with an average salary of 61,370 a year. Since being recognized by the academy awards as its own category for nomination the animation has had and continues to have a bright future.
If anything this article was a breath of fresh -reassuring- air for animators everywhere. Now we can all continue to do what we love with our minds at ease. Seeing as the industry has nowhere to go but up thanks to a combination of cartoon, video game, and film popularity the future looks bright.
