Cartoon Network is not going out of business.
The reason “RIP Cartoon Network” is popular on the internet
9/7/2024,
While the animation industry flourished during the pandemic, a widely shared post brought attention to the fact that studios have since reduced costs by postponing projects, outsourcing work, and firing a large number of artists.
Amidst rumours that Cartoon Network is closing, viewers were taken aback on Monday. Many people, particularly X, shared their astonishment and nostalgia for their childhood favourite TV on social media. The truth is, Cartoon Network is not going away.
Following the widespread success of a post from the account “Animation Workers Ignited” with a video captioned “Cartoon Network is dead?
The #RIPCartoonNetwork hashtag began gaining traction on X.
The goal of the post was to raise awareness about the challenges animators face in the industry, such as losing their jobs and dealing with precarious financial situations in other businesses. The video claimed that many animators have lost extraordinary jobs, leaving them unemployed for over a year.
It further claimed that despite the animation industry’s success during the pandemic due to rules allowing remote work, companies had since shut down projects, outsourced labour and abandoned large amounts of artwork.
Since animation could work entirely remotely, it was one of the few media forms that could continue working when COVID-19 first struck.
But companies chose to pay back this tenacity by outsourcing work, slashing expenses, and mass firing artists “as mentioned in a video clip.
The video also asked social media users to help spread the news about these issues. “You may assist by telling others about it. Use the hashtag #RIPCartoonNetwork to share your thoughts about your fave Cartoon Network programmes that you wish were still airing.
In the meantime, Cartoon Network has not responded to reports that it is closing.
