I hope the cartoon that I've always wanted to make that I've been planning for the past few years will eventually become a reality

The film you are looking for is called Big Fat Liar (2002) is not a Disney film and is in fact a Netflix film. it’s not on American Netflix, but it is available on Canadian Netflix.

Its a long process of course! But an insanely interesting one at that!! ❤️

cartoons always take a very long time to make, dad have always told me animation takes 2 years

Does anyone else thinks that script-driven shows are better than Board-Driven shows? It’s not like Script-Driven shows is gonna effect the animation and Board-Driven shows tends to be messy in story sometimes.

All I need to know is if I get a degree in broadcasting how will I get into the industry? And even if I am, what will be the start to boost my way into showrunning since I already created a pitch Bible for a pilot. Hell I even publish a book for it. If I have evidence that I created a pitch Bible and somehow I am in the industry will I already become a showrunner with the proof I have?

There are no limits to technology they can do with animation now days!

[JimmySchlosser]

A movie where a kid gets a script stolen. I saw a movie called Bigger Fatter Liar. It was about a chronic liar who got a video game idea stolen. He goes on an adventure to prove he's actually telling the truth for once.

Edit: Bigger Fatter Liar is a standalone sequel to Big Fat Liar which has the same plot. Who knew the sequel would be such a big failure to the point it doesn't have a Wikipedia page?

I legit think Big Top Burger is up there with some of my favourite animations of the last couple of years. On a pure technical front it kind of feels like magic that it happens entirely in blender.

[who_leo]

I have a question: Does the Animation after the storyboarding mostly include copy and pasting some frames and, slightly moving it so it looks like The character is moving. Or, is every single frame hand drawn?

[The_waffle..]
