Indie Animation Is Taking Over Vol. 1 

Brilliant 30 day trial: brilliant.org/Mannof1000Thoughts/

Thanks for featuring Sublo and Tangy Mustard in here! Glad to be in good company with these other awesome indie shows.

I really like how each of the indies animations shown were different styles of animations. Really shows off the style and creativity

Finally someone talking about Monkey wrench

Thanks for showing me even more indie animation shows, and I hope to see another thought video in the future

Port by the Sea just scratches all the right itches for me. A nautical adventure with an adorable art style and an intriguing world? Sign me up!

If there's an indie show that deserves a spotlight, it would be The Earth Guy.

One of my favorit indies is "Tales of Alethrion" which is campaigning for a season 3 right now

Criticism isn't hate. Just thought I'd throw that out there

I hope Indie Animation soon finds proper funding or reaches that funding that it needs to flourish

Lackadaisy has been a Massive Inspiration for me. When the Pilot dropped I fell in Love with Rocky’s Serenade of the Mississippi. After a Decade of not Drawing I felt my drive to create come back after watching it. And now I’m working on My Own Characters and Story. I’m hoping to create my own Webcomic and see how far I can take it. And maybe with Time I can eventually create an animated series in the future. I have a Long way to go though first, but I’m determined to see my vision come to life. I’m honestly excited for the future. 💛😸😸😸💛

Yes, I’m so excited for this new series! I always love to see more people talk about indie projects, and this is a great start!

I'm so happy that more people are giving shout outs to indie shows, and not just the large ones. Something I wish the larger shows would do on their social platforms is at least try to help out smaller shows by retweeting/sharing posts to help their publicity and such. I just feel like the indie scene could already be so much better if people didn't strictly talk about what's popular and such. Also, shout out "Our Spell binding lies" or "Murder Drones" or "The Rhino and Redbill" not entirely sure if I got the name of the last one correct or not, though I'll say it's 3D animated and such and it's really good

There’s also Lumi and The Great Big Galaxy! It’s slowly being worked on and has shown sneak peaks of animations. Their launching their next croundfunding campain soon on Bakerkit.

You should cover the following indie cartoons: *Battle for Dream Island:* Basically the answer to if Total Drama had objects instead of humans. The creators made it when they were 12 as well (Only 2 months away from their 13th birthday). *Gwain Saga:* An action-adventure series that has the cutest character designs in a web cartoon. It's criminally underrated and episode 9 will be its finale so definitely check it out! *GODs' School:* It's like if Disney made a cartoon series about greek mythology for Disney Channel. *RWBY:* It's indie again so why not? Another action-adventure series like Gwain Saga but more darker. -I hope a Genshin Impact crossover can still happen when the new owners buy it- Actually, all of Rooster's Teeth cartoons could be considered indie now since WB is planning to sell them soon and I don't think the new owners will be Disney, Universal, or Sony. *Hanazuki: Full of Treasures:* Not independent but it was a web cartoon that aired on RU-vid so why not? It's basically the MLP of web cartoons. Edit: Almost forgot but *Ongezellig:* A dutch cartoon starring three adopted sisters. The main one is pretty shy.

Hey to add to the list Ramshackle’s pilot episode is supposed to be out April 6th I think.

While it's important to keep in perspective that not all indies are created equal, I also don't think it should be understated how much the audience and support for these types of animation projects have grown in such a short span of time, despite how (hell, maybe even BECAUSE of) much harsher the whole creative landscape has become. Not just in terms of the TADC-type successes, but even how the likes of "Port By the Sea" - made by an artist without an overbearing internet footprint nor years of publicly establishing itself beforehand - are getting way more views than they would have even a few years ago. There's still a lot that needs to be figured out for it to be a more legitimate business, but seeing all that has already gone down in the indie world has provided the kind of hope that keeps myself and many others going in these times.

Shadowstone Park and Charlie the Unicorn are my current favorites, both made by FilmCow.

Can you PLEASE continue making indie videos! I've got something you'll love coming very soon :3

I just love how Monkey Wrench has that fun early 2000’s cartoon vibe and the characters are great too especially the main duo. I love their dynamic

Can you mention The Rhino and The Redbill on the next part? It was made by Alex Henderson Animation

If you plan on doing more of these then I recommend Checking out the web series No Evil. It's a series about group of Anthropomorphic spirits dealing with a genocidal kid from unleashing an all-consuming sleeping sickness from anesthetizing their world. It's set in a world reminiscent of the 1890s and it's based off of indigenous mythology mixed in with the Wizard of Oz. It may not have the best animation but the series has good writing and great characters including (but not limited to) a basilisk lizard spirit based off of Calamity Jane, a panicking rattlesnake who likes corn, a misunderstood father and a fox who takes absolutely no shits from anyone.

An indie cartoon I would recommend is Godspeed, it's from Olan Rogers (creator of Final Space) and it's awesome, it's not afraid to be a mature pilot episode about a young woman who is stuck on Earth that's about to be destroyed and it ends with a character that looks and sounds like a major character from Final Space, and the art style kinda reminds me of the Carmen Sandiego reboot from a few years ago

I don't blame cartoonist for going this route,disney,netflix,amazon and a24 seem to screw over cartoons and shorten seasons without or stupid reasons

Huh neat stuff bro!

i suggest Spooky Month by SrPelo. its hilarious and there is a very cryptic and mysterious ARG going on behind it. definetely give it a watch, episode 6 comes out on march 31st

please add murder drones in the next part!

Just want to correct the record, The Port By the Sea Creator is named Georden Whitman, not george. Sorry about that.

Murder Drones is actually my current hyperfixation, and while TADC is definitely what got Glitch the most amount of fame (for better or for worse), Murder Drones is pretty much exactly up my alley, in that I'm just a sucker for darker stories with well-placed comedic moments. For the record, if anyone wants to watch, you definitely need to have a high tolerance for body horror to be able to watch ^^' They may be robots, but they sure get fucked up every now and then

At the risk of a shameless plug, you should check out Set Sail for Candy, if nautical nonsense be something you wish.

Nah Mann, you don't want Jolly Roger. Too shrimpy. Nah, you're gonna want a catch with some...(Pause for effect)...BIG...MEATY...CLAWS!!

nobody talks about bfdi or homestar runner when it comes to indie shows when they’re the first successful ones

These indie studio productions and series are gonna be both an improved quality style and surefire real pop-cultural hit over the mass-manufactured animated series by big-budget studios created just to suit their cookie-cutter quick cash grab stratagies

no bfdi? it does have 1.5 billion views overall and 100m on the first episode...

What do you all think of the featured indie cartoons?

Just like how FNAF blew up indie gaming, Hazbin and TADC has done the same for indie animation. Really hope Long gone gulch gets a full series!

I’m surprised nobody talks about stickman Vs terraria

“There’s a capitalism joke in there, but I ain’t Hobie” 🤣 22:11 😭

Is the song from the opening on Apple Music by chance?

Caine isn't evil or malicious btw He genuinely wants to help the humans trapped in the game. He's just an AI doesn't understand human psychology

What about Murder drone 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Hm, how very interesting, fair and valid points and opinions, i appreciate this Video, these Shows deserves the attention. Speaking of which, Do you know of Epithet Erased, Bloody Bunny: the First Blood or Chikn Nuggit? These Series are all very interesting in their own right and may be worth doing Videos?

21:11 i’m sorry, but I didn’t know that sharing your thoughts on something that was bad was considered nerdy and stupid

how do u speak with your eyes open?

No murder drones?Ehhh...

Who here watches CRiTORA and NOXP?

Moral of the story:If you want to make a cartoon, make it independently online with a team.That way you can write whatever you want.And your voice actors aren’t limited to just their ethnicity. You know because nowadays most(not all) but most people in Hollywood only want the characters to be voiced by people with the same race, gender, and sexuality as the characters.Which is stupid, who cares about that as long as their voice fits the role. You know unless said voice actor is a terrible person. Now I understand in live-action, the actors do need to look like the characters, but not in animation.

Im glad i got out of the cartoon community before all this indie animation stuff like hazbin hotel and digital circus got popular, cant stand these new shows.

We need to stop that! Or something BAD or even WORSE could happened With the ENTIRE animation industry!
