>inb4 Danes rushing to assert that Denmark has some animation nobody has ever heard of
I think everyone has heard of the cartoon about the guy with the giant dick.
I thought the Danes were the one with the incredibly horny foxlike creature?
Too expensive.
Most countries where the government mandates local content quotas or gives out money for local productions has an animation industry.
only korea counts man
In an age where everybody animates on computers, Korea is done.
Most of them were involved, or close to a country involved, in the world/cold wars. Back then, information was vital. So those countries all pushed for breakthroughs in comunications that later on put them on the vanguard of TV networks for entertainment (and also propaganda). The wars, as terrible as they were, propelled mankind's progress. I saw somewhere that microwaves were failed attempts at creating "death ray weapons" and such, and only later they were used to cook/heat food.
Then how come China has propelled itself to a world power in the last forty years when it hasn't gone to war in over a lifetime? Meanwhile Somalia's been pretty much constantly at war since the 20th century and they haven't done shit for themselves. The idea that war is good for a country is a total myth. ill.
War is good for a country if you win the war.
It's not true, Italy does animation too, most notably winx, Russia has a strong tradition of animation, North Korea does animation for European productions, the UK does some stuff too
Other countries have more limited animated production because they're smaller, Germany just doesn't produce much entertainment except for TV serials
Anyone is able to mention at least 3 french cartoons but no one can remember one single series from the rest of Europe.
russia just doesn't export it or exports only to neighbouring countries, they consistently produce animation, even though with varying success and quality, out of good ones there are knyaz vladimir a cool historical cartoon, and ogonyok-ognivo which has an improved animation compared to all previous works from russia
Animation is perhaps the most expensive form of film. Most countries simply do not have the finances to fund large-scale animated films.
Cartoons rely on writing as well. Sk has maybe 4 remarkable cartoons they have done all by themselves
Go slit your throat.
Cry b***h.
Die in a hole, runt.
because this list contains every country in the world that matters, plus Canada too because it has like a law about domestic animation.
>China
They produce lots of shit. Wherever their cartoons are good or not is another story.
They can't be good, they have no black people or underage homosexuals in them.
the dominant countries in animation are the ones that have either
>an established market (for example Disney in the US, Ghibli in japan,...) that can export well and basically self-finance its movies
>government support that allows small structures to make medium to big projects (france has the CNC, china probably something similar, and south korea literally copied the CNC)
The other countries aren't producing much animation because it's impossible to finance if you have no government help nor previous mass consumed products.
Short answer: unregulated international capitalism
>Korean animation is government-subsidized
Why aren't more people talking about this?
Because it's extremely common. Basically every single animation studio (and game studio) relies on government subsidies. The reason why Canada is such an entertainment powerhouse is because they dump shitloads of money into it.
Why does Canada always get shit on for it then?
>Canadian cartoons are le bad
Native Korean cartoons are worse.
But what about the brilliance of shows like Miniforce: Super Dino Power! Vroomiz, Watch Car and Monkart?
Those are CGI so nobody on Cinemaphile cares.
Why does Cinemaphile hate CGI cartoons?
oversaturated
I thought for the canada thing it was largely that, at least media wise, its pretty much a subsidy of the American media industry.
Like, no one really knows if some media thing or person is Canadian unless its actually stapled on the product or you go out of your way to look.
Korea doesn't make shit for animation, they just draw for the amerisharts
american do nothing since they outsource to Asia
>Asia
KOREA
Canada
czech
You forgot Mexico...
uhhh the uk?
>Only the richest countries on earth can afford to produce on a regular basis one of the most expensive form of entertainment
I don't know OP, you tell me.
Every country and people just need S encouragement and love.
Of any of these countries, which ones are good to live, from best to worst?
France's the only somewhat acceptable place to live there. Rest is shit.
>France
How?
Dunno about the best, but the Asian ones are definitely the worst to live in.
