A lot of animation, probably more than there has been for years, is done in North America. With programs like Flash and Toon Boom a lot of studios have brought animation back to in house (or to other north american service studios). That's not saying ALL animation is back, the majority is probably still farmed overseas.…
I have been wondering about 2d animation. It's something I have dabbled into in the past. Problem is it takes a long time to get the desired result but it has no limitation technically, only one's drawing skill and patience can be considered as a hindrance to getting a 2d animation job done. I have been thinking about the…
Look at the credits of a lot of cartoons. The animation gets sent overseas to places like South Korea or Vietnam. Even Japanese anime isn't entirely animated in Japan but also is outsourced.

Most 2D animation gets outsourced to Asia. The remaining 2D professions I see is either for flash cartoons or small gigs like indie games. Disney also shut down their hand drawn studio. So there goes any 2D movies from Hollywood.
"Most 2D animation gets outsourced to Asia" you have a source for this ? I imagine the massive need for inbetweeners and cell painters kind of went out the window with the advent of digital As far as viable...there is always going to be a market for it...even if it's niche It's not going to make you a millionaire, but…
There's still a lot of analog work for the animation part of the process for shows like Korra, DC/ Marvel direct-to-video features. Backgrounds are still handpainted. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=thkXOsxQwcI#t=12 [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGwscYFrVZk"]Justice League: The Flashpoint…
