Video description:
Studios are hiring less, budgets are tighter, AI tools are entering the pipeline, and many people are asking the same question:
Is animation still a good career in 2025?

In this video, I break down what’s actually happening in the animation industry, why the recent boom ended, and why this moment isn’t the end of animation, but another cycle of reinvention.

We look at:
The animation boom from 2020 to 2022 and why it happened
The correction from 2023 to 2025, including layoffs, budget cuts, and strikes
Why the animation industry has always moved in cycles
What history can teach us about where animation is headed next
How AI and real-time tools are really impacting workflows
What skills matter most if you want to stay ahead as an animator
Why this is actually a good time to start or recommit to animation

If you’re an animator, student, or creative wondering if you chose the wrong career, this video is meant to give you clarity, context, and a realistic path forward.
