Piracy is a service issue. Until these greedy companies stop removing shows and cancelling movies for tax write offs, pirate the shit out of everything. Also try to encourage physical media to make a comeback, so that even if they continue to remove shows in the future, they can never remove what you own yourself.
“Hey, kids! You’re probably wondering what happens next season considering the way the last episode ended. Well, screw you! Show’s over, you can never legally watch it again and we’re replacing it with your parents’ favorite show for a reboot! Hey, hey, hey, don’t get mad at me! You don’t watch cable, remember? It’s not our fault we didn’t market it for streaming” This is the way networks have been treating kids shows for like a decade now.
They probably won’t do this thing with any Woke cartoons trying to force “The Agenda”, even though they’re not nearly as popular or worth watching, but most media and corporations will continue to promote and preserve them instead.
I know everyone says “don’t pirate it hurts the creators” but the creators usually don’t get shit for their shows. I just wish I had that Final Space Google drive…
I mean, that's not really a reason why it's cruel. The animators and writers were paid to do a job and they did it. Them having worked hard on something they've already been compensated for means that neither they nor their employers are entitled to anything further, including having their show be made available. Once they've been paid, it's no longer any of the production staff's business what happens with it. Still dumb to remove them, though.
Even UA-cam themselves don’t respect animation when they label videos from content creators “made for kids” for no reason I hope the animation guild puts an end to those unnecessary live action remakes, and focus more on original ideas
@@MASTEROFEVIL even 3 unluckytug Thomas vids like sofors finest Percy and cranky and 10 hidden gems of cgi Thomas and 2 edbound vids originally into the Sony verse but now is back unmarked for kids, SpiderVerse in 8 minutes and sonic movie in 3 minutes are both still marked for kids due to them having swears
Hell, even Sonic related videos (including the fan-made ones) were label as "made for kids" despite the fact that clearly, majority of them are not kid-friendly and are not made for any child audience but UA-cam does it anyway. Steven Page (BalenaProductions) became a victim of this "made for kids" bullshit and had to deal a lot of shit, luckily with the help of Patreon donations, he's able to get rid of it. But still, I blame COPPA and the irresponsible parents who went full karen who allowed their kids to watch adult videos despite the fact that UA-cam was clearly not for kids. I also hope that someday, this "made for kids" bullshit gets abolish and UA-cam gets raid of this stupid policy for good.
They... They REMOVED Haily's On It from Disney+?! So weird! I thought that Disney+ was meant to be about watching Disney cartoons and movies on-demand 🤷♂
I get that companies need to make money and make sensible business decisions. That's just economics. What sucks is that shows and movies, and especially animated ones, seem more like commodities with a shelf life that can expire at any moment, rather than works of art that deserve to be preserved, and whose creators deserve rewarding pay and recognition.
It's not just money, it's graphs and statistics to the financial market and stock/stakeholders whom wish to see the green go further up than it could before/infinite growth. Some of those financial people tend to forget it's okay to dip into the reds sometimes (need I remind them of the 2008 financial crisis that killed the housing/mortgage market in the late 2000s???).
I had no idea MAX removed so much animation. I just finished watching all of Regular Show on it for the first time not too long ago, and my gosh, what a masterpiece of an animated series. To know now that you can’t stream it there is really disheartening (and ironically something Regular Show itself commentated on at the time, streaming vs. physical media. The writing has always been on the wall). It’s to the point where it’s hard for me to even call this corporate greed, because…wouldn’t they be making *more* money by having more animated series that people care about??? So by taking it off, isn’t it actively bad for them, because now there isn’t as big of a draw? What is actually the point in removing such successful and beloved series? It’s just asinine.
That's what confuses me too! They are seemingly leaving money on the table by not allowing some of these shows to streamed anywhere! #standwithanimation
I was surprised to hear this as well I thought HBO would have most of the cartoon network shows. It's like the only thing streaming services appreciate is live actions. It especially sucks if the show does not have physical media.
This is why streaming services suck. Idk why they remove animated content from there but it’s really scummy. They could at least release a physical version if they’re not going to keep it on their platform.
What about anime and other animated shows like Family Guy, South Park, American Dad, Futurama, Dethlok, Boondocks, Robot Chicken, Harley Quinn, Kite Man, X-Men 97, Legend of Vox Machina, Castlevania, My Adventures with Superman and Invincible? Those are still on their respective streaming platform.
@@samflood5631anime have a hard time being shown over here and majority of it is on funimation and that not safe anymore. And those show their take only high popularity instantly rather than slowly gaining interest
I can't believe the animation industry has been done dirty recently. I wish that the cancellations never happened in the first place. I was just re-watching OK KO and I was devastated when I saw that it got kicked out of Hulu. I am an aspiring animator and this frightens and concerns me. If I ever were to make a cartoon series, I'd end it's seasons with satisfying conclusions just in case I won't get the resources needed to make more episodes and not end on cliffhangers just like some of the cancelled shows.
Heck, forget seasons, you would be lucky back in the mid to late 20th century if you got at least 20+ episodes, since most shows would stop around the episode 13 mark or episode 10 mark.
A lot of shows will become lost media at this rate. It feels like corporations only care about the money. Now we have to sail the Grand Line for these shows 🏴☠️
The crazy thing is it’s deeper than shows being lost media. I mean pretty much all species on earth will go extinct soon, ecosystem collapses, lost life. And it’s by these same corporations
This is why not every company needs their own streaming service. They could’ve just made even more money by licensing other movies and shows to only Netflix and hulu
This is why you should always buy physical media and push others to own what they buy. Hopefully a push back to physical media will at least make preserving shows better.
This is why I don't pay for streaming as someone who primarily watches animation... Half of these streaming services aren't even available where I live anyway or are just way too expensive.
And what I hate is when Netflix removes the first few seasons and only leaves the new ones. Like, dude, I want to see the first episode again😢 Not sure if others streaming services do this as well.
Yeah they do this thing called region locking that affects how many seasons a show has and if it's available in your country. Like currently og naruto on netflix for me is missing a crapton of seasons and it doesn't even have season one it skips to season 4 up 6.
4:06 Why did they remove Gumball on Max when they are rebooting the show? It makes no sense. You would think they would treat their headliner show with more respect.
Because they don't want people to watch the original and compare the reboot to it. They already know that if we are able to do so the reboot won't do well.
The fate of final space saddens me so much and I’ve never even seen it. Animators need to be honored. They need to make laws against this kind of bullcrap.
Olan Roger’s has been burned so badly by the industry I’m shocked he hasn’t gone full villain mode, no one would blame him. But if he can keep going in spite of everything then I guess we can too
As somebody whose lifelong goal is to create an animated series, this is honestly heart-wrenching to know. We can not let anymore of this happen. #standwithanimation
It really is disheartening to see the state of animation right now. But Inside Out 2 and other movies like it aren't the only success stories out there. I think the recent rise of indie projects like Hazbin & TADC, shows there's an opportunity to disrupt the status quo. Who knows, it may end up showing that there's more beyond the Big Five, and even changing the animation industry for the better.
They don’t have any of the family friendly fun that past cartoons had but end up being watched by tweens anyways. With the amount of brainrot I’ve seen for both Pomni & Charlie (Verbalase anyone??), I can’t help but to consider it as fandom trash
@@lapielazoolie(This comment will be ignored but I don’t care.) Yeah, those shows feel like they’re being geared more towards Gen Alpha rather than the average viewer. I don’t really see those shows being the future of animation. Unless there’s something that appeals to an all audience and becomes a massive breakout hit. But I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Digital Circus and Hazbin Hotel were only popular because of memes.
@@guyuser81 Digital Circus and Hazbin Hotel did not get popular not only because of memes. In just a few days, The Amazing Digital Circus pilot got over 20 million views and a lot of likes, so no, it wasn't popular just because of memes and still isn't.
The ironic thing is recently, it was announced that ANOTHER merger had taken place; specifically a merger between DirectTV and Dish. The reason for this was the fact their sales numbers have dwindled due to streaming channels. But with THIS sort of stuff going on...where are people supposed to legally watch their content
I still can’t believe Disney just Thanos snapped Hailey’s On It! out of existence, and especially without warning. I’ve also noticed a lot of people (mainly on the Disney fandom) blaming Primos (I’ve seen people also blame BCG, but not as much) for HOI’s cancellation.
It is quite sad that animation is treated like trash by many streaming services and networks. I have fond memories of watching animated series as a kid and still do so today. #standwithanimation
Your timing is pretty on point, after Netflix just announced they’d be removing Battle Kitty! It’s particularly frustrating because it was an interactive cartoon, so difficult to even rip or pirate! It is one of my comfort faves too 😢
Honestly, for me, it's getting to the point where I am thinking about just canceling all of my streaming services (prime Netflix and Disney Plus) and just pirating everything because some great shows were taken off granted I have not watched many of them (I have watched the first 2 seasons of infinity train however) but I have heard they were great and it's so sad to see them go I hope we get justice for all of the shows removed and I hope they lose the copyright for all of them so the people that made them can make a sequel series or something of the sorts elsewhere
Sometimes (rarely most likely) a relevant complaint, but also a convenient boogeyman to blame. And given how often its an availability or convenience issue compared to a (pure) pricing issue, you'd think SOMEONE in the C-Suite would learn... okay, we don't think they would learn, but maybe someone would freaking explain it to them in a way they'd listen.
Streaming has just become old-school TV. When I was young (a million years ago), I realized that TV networks sucked. Some shows would air for a month and then get yanked with 9 unaired episodes that would never see the light of day; others would air for a year or two, and then vanish into oblivion -- and TV almost never got home media releases until the DVD boom (though some cartoons got 1 or 2 episode VHS releases in the '90s). So I started videotaping every-friggin-thing I watched. The result was a monstrous video collection, but I was able to preserve tons of programs that were once considered lost media (unfortunately, the tapes were ultimately destroyed by a fire). The studios/networks/streamers only care about what they think might be profitable; it's the fans who keep everything else alive.
Iger has gone too far. Ruining Disney movies is one thing for him, Bob Cheapek, and shareholders, Vanguard and BlackRock, but screwing over Disney channel original cartoon shows made and produced by its tv animation productions???!!!!! What the ever loving hell is wrong/the matter with or has gotten into him (aside from him being money grubbing Marxist woke idiot and all other things that is wrong with him)??!! Has he lost his freaking mind? What was he on? What his aim was? What has he done to the company? What was he thinking? How could he have done such a thing?
I know I hate it when they get written off. Especially since there is NO downside for the company doing the write off. Honestly makes me wish they were done like with Mortgages but with the IRS. In that... The media written off, gets sold off in an auction to other companies and such. Or allow the original creator to BUY it back.
Actually, several original shows on Disney+ have been removed from the service such as Big Shot, Diary of a Future President, Just Beyond, Turner and Hooch 2021, The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, etcetera, etcetera. None of them are available to watch anywhere legally.
Locking Infinity Train in a vault seems to be an act to avoid paying the royalties owed on future screenings. It's actually cheaper for the debt-burdened HBO-Discovery not to show any of these episodes episodes at all. Especially as animation is generally considered kids stuff (which restricts what can be advertised along with it). Even if it's not.
The shutdown of the CN website will never not infuriate me. We lost the Nick website a few years ago! Flash's death, to my knowledge, led to the removal of the remaining fun Mattel websites! (Ex: Monster High, Barbie, Polly Pocket) As well as places like Moshi Monsters! I don't think Disney has anymore games on their websites! And it's sad! :( I wish the higher ups cared more about animation. About their workers. About everything! Great video man.
Also I will forever be angry at the amount of good looking movies that get canned or written off. Especially "Me and my Shadow"! IT LOOKS SO GOOD! BUT WE'LL NEVER GET TO SEE THEM! :(
I just googled and saw that Nick still has a website up. It is barebones though unlike the past. Nicktoons Network even used to have its’ own website that was removed in 2015 and linked to Nick’s main website.
It really is a business decision. Streaming services have to pay to license their shows, even the shows they own. By removing content, they're cutting costs. Whether it's an actual good business decision, though, seems to be a different story.
Final Space needs to come back from the "tax write-off" bullcrap. The same goes for other shows and movies. #FireDavidZaslav #ForeBobIger #StandWithAnimation #RenewFinalSpace #SaveFinalSpace #FinalSpaceSeason4
also: a few of these cartoons have gotten blu-ray releases at stores like walmart. Not that anyone actually was made known about these releases, they’re just.. there?
Ever since streaming services combined with others (Like Disney +, Hulu, & Discovery), lots of animated shows and movies have disappeared. Some have transferred to other streaming platforms while others just vanished from existence. 😰 Here’s a list of shows I’ll never see again (old & new): *Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart* GONE! *Thundercats (2011)* GONE! *Sym Bionic Titan* GONE! *Son of Zorn* GONE! *Close Enough* GONE! *The Secret Saturdays* GONE! *Nightmare Ned* GONE! *Brandy and Mr. Whiskers* GONE! If you’re lucky, you can find some physical copies of animated shows/movies that were once on streaming platforms. This is one of the reasons why I didn’t get rid of my physical copies. I’m still going to hold onto my physical copies until all media players fade from existence. You can still buy DVD, Blu-ray, 4K players in stores but it won’t be much longer (I say we have about 5 years left). Physical copies of shows, movies, & games are disappearing off shelves, same with all media players. Hold onto your physical copies folks! If streaming services get worse, we may have to revert back to players, DVDs, Blu-ray, etc.
@MytokyokittyStudios I know it won't solve anything but so you can watch at least one of the shows: there are a lot of the episodes of Brandy and Mr.Whiskers on UA-cam. Just search it up and the full episodes should be there as of right now in English. Personally, I have been looking to watch it and Dave the Barbarian for years in Spanish with no luck, all I can hope is that eventually Disney+ gives in and re-adds them in multiple dubs.
Just found out Disneys removing their OG movies like Clouds which was about a now deceased Zachary Sobiec who battled cancer. So sad for his family…….The movie that was about their son has now been considered lost.
Animation doesn't get nearly the amount of respect it deserves. Infinity Train is one of my favorite cartoon shows, and it deserved way better. #standwithanimation
It was too late for Hailey's On It! to become a Disney+ Original and reach worldwide audiences with a high potential to greenlight a second season, but Disney is disobedient and keeps airing on the dying Disney Channel with a very limited audience capacity, lack of marketing, and region lockout on purpose. The series has a lot of potential up to three seasons, and let the creator be able to finale it. Canceling the show and removing it from the streaming service feels disrespected to both fans and the crew of the show. Future serialized shows should be on Disney+ Original right now, and not on Disney Channel anymore. I feel like Disney Channel won’t be the same anymore. Absolute heartbroken now. 💔 Hailey's On It! (June 8, 2023 - May 18, 2024)
Literally half of my favorite CN/AS shows got purged from the Max. Kids Next Door, Foster's Home, Metalocalypse, China, IL, Flapjack, Clarence, and seasons 1-12 of Squidbillies. None were able to survive the wrath of Devil Zaslav. What's the point of having a Max subscription anymore if all the stuff people actually WANT to watch gets bulldozed to make way for the exact opposite? Tell me there's someone out there that actually wants to WATCH all that gross Discovery slop over Regular Show or Gumball any day.
I hate it when they keep cutting stuff for no reason at all, it literally does nothing but hinder everything so basically you may as well add it back If you're name is David Zaslav, stop it, you are nothing more than a parasite to Warner Bros and if you're "work" for the company was deleted, it would get a lot better. Zaslav is honestly worse than Neal Mohan
Why do i feel Hollywood just straight want to bury animation as a whole!? Like isnt strange that the animation industry as a whole is dying while the live action is still going? I dont know my friend but it sounds to me like a conspiracy ir you ask me
Multiple factors and parties might be responsible for all of this madness. First, our conservative right wing mainstream society/sophisticated grown adults, parents and Christians think animation is just a kids thing and adults don’t get to watch that kind of thing. And fundamental Christians / satanic panic conspiracy theorists would truth expose an adult cartoon for corrupting little kids and show inappropriate messages and crap even though those cartoons are for adults only and kids had no business watching them anyways and those religious conservatives are overreacting for no good reason. Plus of course, Reaganomics and federal government have corrupted our favorite entertainment companies and take animation for granted and the status quo of the Hollywood business entertainment industry standards and practices and the mainstream public corporate media shareholder investing & advertising overload trying to bark orders at those companies into caring about live action more than animation because it makes money. Also adult society: all they care about is the superhero cinematic universe movies, horror movies and groundbreaking drama movies and stuff. And conservative anti woke people complaining about stuff that is woke nowadays. These are the reasons I came up with.
I don’t really think its Hollywood considering the number of big name directors and actors in the industry do take part in and support said medium. This seems more like the problem of corporate execs getting involved in an industry that they are not passionate about and prioritizing profit before creativity.
This is 100% speculation, but I wonder if these cartoon removals have something to do with negotiations with the AMPTP an Animation Guild. Like is this some kind of psychological warfare from the studios to psych out animation workers? Cause if it is, it sure as hell ain't working.
I also remembered back in 2019-2020, in my country, winx club used to be on netflix, i’m talking the original series and i usually watch season 7 of that and then it got removed
The biggest factor I find why cartoons are canceled is something I have dubbed “The SpongeBob Effect”. In the early 2000’s SpongeBob exploded in popularity and became the benchmark for shows on Nick. If you weren’t as popular, you got your contracted seasons and nothing more. The issue is that Nick only looked at SpongeBob’s popularity after its boom, not the 4-5 seasons leading up to its success. This effect then spread to other networks and became the benchmark for how cartoons should work. Now since streaming became popular, streaming services have a worse benchmark to compare and that’s the “Viral effect”. If the show doesn’t go viral and stay that way, examples include breaking bad, Dexter, etc then they aren’t worth keeping. Not to mention the giant tax breaks companies get for removing the show from the services and the money they save for not renewing streaming licenses
they fr removed all the cartoons people would actually come for on max idk why cartoon fan would even buy half these streaming services its not even guaranteed you'll get what you came for anymore
Getting sick of the GREED by big companies. It's getting out of hand now. We and the creators of the actual shows, need to do something about it NOW. Animation deserves better!
It’s seems like the world of entertainment doesn’t consider animation as a serious art form anymore. Well, luckily, I’m not gonna let it be that way anymore. #standwithanimation
This type of stuff makes me scared to even put cartoons on networks in the future because I don’t want my cartoons to be deleted and cancelled for no reason whenever I become an animator. Cartoon creators and animators don’t deserve this to happen to them they worked to hard just to get something they made deleted by big companies that don’t care about animation.
For some of the titles mentioned, it seems that the removal might coincide with and/or stem from the development of reboots. Like, the rights holders want to redo certain properties and completely replace the original version for some reason. It's inconceivable (or undesirable) that two versions of the same show could coexist on the same streaming service or something... smh
It's more of an issue with streaming services and the way they are funded. Streaming services give access to large quantities of shows for a low fixed price and allow channels to make use of their archive. 20 years ago when streaming was still in it's infancy and most phone networks couldn't handle video streaming you could get streaming rights for almost free. In the 2010s Netflix had grown but they became vulnerable because content creators had become the ones "in the driving seat". It was no longer was it a case that Netflix was giving them a small amount for them making use of their archives, Netflix needed content or they would lose subscriptions. By the 2020s the technology was there for anyone to start a streaming service, however rather than getting paid for their content by a 3rd party streaming service they have to promote their streaming service and pay themselves for their own content before collecting many individual subscription fees every month rather than one lump sum for the streaming rights. It also causes the issue that you can't sell your content to other platforms so easily because super fans of a show will subscribe to the streaming service and watch it on release rather than watching repeats on a liner TV channel who would pay more per episode than a streaming service for multiple different shows would generate. It has become a cycle where without certain programmes streaming services won't get any subscribers but if they don't sell to liner TV channels they won't get the money they need to sustain the production. Warner Bros Discovery has a lot of debt so they need to get the high lump sums for their rights rather than getting small multiple subscriptions over the month. To make their programmes sellable they need to take them off streaming and on to their channels because they get more money via advertising on their channels and they need to get them off streaming so other TV channels will buy the rights to show them. Streaming and charging a subscription isn't a good business model.
I loved your thoughts on this subject, it's really sad that this is happening to animated shows. Animation is definitely my favorite genre in TV and I hope that one day it comes back strong. #standwithanimation

I remember when it just released and I actually started to get invested in it. I'm sad to see this get taken off of Disney+ and get cancelled, leaving it on a cliffhanger.
These companies should be legally required to relinquish the rights to these projects back to the creator anytime they cancel a show. There is no reason for them to just sit on the rights and not do anything with it.
I resorted to pirating Final Space a little while back but my main source has been going downhill. I’m starting to wonder how easy it’ll be for me to even watch it ILlegally now…
This is why Piracy is better than paying for hbo max. Also i feel so bad for modern Cartoon network. They havent had a single original idea in their network and theres also a lack of buzz from their shows. I miss the old days in 2010s when people would talk about Regular show or Gravity falls and w8 for new episodes
Here's my own take on the matter. The only thing the corporate executives and CEOs see are the numbers but there's also the fact that most of them are baby boomers and Gen X'ers that grew up in a time when animation was almost exclusively marketed towards children, hence why they don't take it seriously and don't see it as a legitimate medium or art form like we do.
CEO’s need to respect and credit animators, writers and voice actors for all the hard work they put into their projects. Kids can handle serious storytelling in animation as well. 😊And animation isn’t just for children.
streaming services: "why is everybody pirating show instead of subscribing to our platforms?"
also streaming services:
lol, no where else to watch the shows... #standwithanimation
🤔 Yeah, I wonder *WHY!* 😡
Piracy is a service issue. Until these greedy companies stop removing shows and cancelling movies for tax write offs, pirate the shit out of everything. Also try to encourage physical media to make a comeback, so that even if they continue to remove shows in the future, they can never remove what you own yourself.

I had no idea MAX removed so much animation. I just finished watching all of Regular Show on it for the first time not too long ago, and my gosh, what a masterpiece of an animated series. To know now that you can’t stream it there is really disheartening (and ironically something Regular Show itself commentated on at the time, streaming vs. physical media. The writing has always been on the wall).
It’s to the point where it’s hard for me to even call this corporate greed, because…wouldn’t they be making *more* money by having more animated series that people care about??? So by taking it off, isn’t it actively bad for them, because now there isn’t as big of a draw? What is actually the point in removing such successful and beloved series? It’s just asinine.
That's what confuses me too! They are seemingly leaving money on the table by not allowing some of these shows to streamed anywhere! #standwithanimation
Completely asinine. #standwithanimation

I was surprised to hear this as well I thought HBO would have most of the cartoon network shows. It's like the only thing streaming services appreciate is live actions. It especially sucks if the show does not have physical media.
@@gaming4lunchthat’s not true, since I know that some of the things that Disney+ removed, where live action shows

What about anime and other animated shows like Family Guy, South Park, American Dad, Futurama, Dethlok, Boondocks, Robot Chicken, Harley Quinn, Kite Man, X-Men 97, Legend of Vox Machina, Castlevania, My Adventures with Superman and Invincible? Those are still on their respective streaming platform.

I can't believe the animation industry has been done dirty recently. I wish that the cancellations never happened in the first place. I was just re-watching OK KO and I was devastated when I saw that it got kicked out of Hulu. I am an aspiring animator and this frightens and concerns me. If I ever were to make a cartoon series, I'd end it's seasons with satisfying conclusions just in case I won't get the resources needed to make more episodes and not end on cliffhangers just like some of the cancelled shows.
It’s gone from Hulu?
@@The_og_moonwalker unfortunately yes
You are surprised? They are expensive to make and don't turn a profit 99 times out of 100. It's not complicated.
Animation deserves better. I find it awful how most shows nowadays are ending or getting cancelled after only one or a few seasons!
Heck, forget seasons, you would be lucky back in the mid to late 20th century if you got at least 20+ episodes, since most shows would stop around the episode 13 mark or episode 10 mark.
Literally what has changed? Rewatching a lot of shows from when I was a kid it's crazy realizing how short they actually were.
In my opiniob if the storry can be told well in 20 episodes than it shluldn't be 50 but canceling shows without ending the storry is scumy
A lot of shows will become lost media at this rate. It feels like corporations only care about the money. Now we have to sail the Grand Line for these shows 🏴☠️
The crazy thing is it’s deeper than shows being lost media. I mean pretty much all species on earth will go extinct soon, ecosystem collapses, lost life. And it’s by these same corporations
" It feels like corporations only care about the money. "
OOOoooooph- who wants to tell 'em?
This is why not every company needs their own streaming service. They could’ve just made even more money by licensing other movies and shows to only Netflix and hulu
This is why you should always buy physical media and push others to own what they buy. Hopefully a push back to physical media will at least make preserving shows better.
Also, stick with indie animation too.
Tell that to those who think they own steam fanes
This is why I don't pay for streaming as someone who primarily watches animation... Half of these streaming services aren't even available where I live anyway or are just way too expensive.
And what I hate is when Netflix removes the first few seasons and only leaves the new ones. Like, dude, I want to see the first episode again😢 Not sure if others streaming services do this as well.
Yeah they do this thing called region locking that affects how many seasons a show has and if it's available in your country. Like currently og naruto on netflix for me is missing a crapton of seasons and it doesn't even have season one it skips to season 4 up 6.

4:06 Why did they remove Gumball on Max when they are rebooting the show? It makes no sense. You would think they would treat their headliner show with more respect.
Because they don't want people to watch the original and compare the reboot to it. They already know that if we are able to do so the reboot won't do well.

Ew a reboot. Why would they even do that? Reboots always suck
@@jax99888 Not always. Season 7 of Gumball is going to be business as usual. That show ended on a cliffhanger and needs closure.
The fate of final space saddens me so much and I’ve never even seen it. Animators need to be honored. They need to make laws against this kind of bullcrap.
They are, at least, publishing a TPB of the finale, so at least the story will be told- does kinda have a Xenogears feeling though.

It really is disheartening to see the state of animation right now.
But Inside Out 2 and other movies like it aren't the only success stories out there. I think the recent rise of indie projects like Hazbin & TADC, shows there's an opportunity to disrupt the status quo. Who knows, it may end up showing that there's more beyond the Big Five, and even changing the animation industry for the better.
absolutely!
They don’t have any of the family friendly fun that past cartoons had but end up being watched by tweens anyways. With the amount of brainrot I’ve seen for both Pomni & Charlie (Verbalase anyone??), I can’t help but to consider it as fandom trash
@@lapielazoolie(This comment will be ignored but I don’t care.) Yeah, those shows feel like they’re being geared more towards Gen Alpha rather than the average viewer. I don’t really see those shows being the future of animation. Unless there’s something that appeals to an all audience and becomes a massive breakout hit. But I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Digital Circus and Hazbin Hotel were only popular because of memes.
@@guyuser81 Digital Circus and Hazbin Hotel did not get popular not only because of memes. In just a few days, The Amazing Digital Circus pilot got over 20 million views and a lot of likes, so no, it wasn't popular just because of memes and still isn't.

The ironic thing is recently, it was announced that ANOTHER merger had taken place; specifically a merger between DirectTV and Dish.
The reason for this was the fact their sales numbers have dwindled due to streaming channels. But with THIS sort of stuff going on...where are people supposed to legally watch their content
I still can’t believe Disney just Thanos snapped Hailey’s On It! out of existence, and especially without warning. I’ve also noticed a lot of people (mainly on the Disney fandom) blaming Primos (I’ve seen people also blame BCG, but not as much) for HOI’s cancellation.

Your timing is pretty on point, after Netflix just announced they’d be removing Battle Kitty!
It’s particularly frustrating because it was an interactive cartoon, so difficult to even rip or pirate!
It is one of my comfort faves too 😢
Battle Kitty was so good! I think I'm going to make a video about that
LOL I got a Disney+ ad in the middle of the video
Hahahah, that's perfect!
Honestly, for me, it's getting to the point where I am thinking about just canceling all of my streaming services (prime Netflix and Disney Plus) and just pirating everything because some great shows were taken off granted I have not watched many of them (I have watched the first 2 seasons of infinity train however) but I have heard they were great and it's so sad to see them go I hope we get justice for all of the shows removed and I hope they lose the copyright for all of them so the people that made them can make a sequel series or something of the sorts elsewhere
Do ir
Why do companies complain about piracy when they won't release it legally?
Sometimes (rarely most likely) a relevant complaint, but also a convenient boogeyman to blame.
And given how often its an availability or convenience issue compared to a (pure) pricing issue, you'd think SOMEONE in the C-Suite would learn... okay, we don't think they would learn, but maybe someone would freaking explain it to them in a way they'd listen.
🙁I guess we have no choice then.
🏴☠️Yo-ho. All together. Hoist the colours of heart. We stream, these shows together. Never shall they die.
Hoist the colors high.
Streaming has just become old-school TV. When I was young (a million years ago), I realized that TV networks sucked. Some shows would air for a month and then get yanked with 9 unaired episodes that would never see the light of day; others would air for a year or two, and then vanish into oblivion -- and TV almost never got home media releases until the DVD boom (though some cartoons got 1 or 2 episode VHS releases in the '90s). So I started videotaping every-friggin-thing I watched. The result was a monstrous video collection, but I was able to preserve tons of programs that were once considered lost media (unfortunately, the tapes were ultimately destroyed by a fire). The studios/networks/streamers only care about what they think might be profitable; it's the fans who keep everything else alive.
If a company wants to write off a show for tax purposes, then it should enter the public domain, and be made available for free viewing.
Walt wouldn’t let this happen. He wanted Disney to be cartoons only originally and now they’re removing them from streaming services
Iger has gone too far. Ruining Disney movies is one thing for him, Bob Cheapek, and shareholders, Vanguard and BlackRock, but screwing over Disney channel original cartoon shows made and produced by its tv animation productions???!!!!! What the ever loving hell is wrong/the matter with or has gotten into him (aside from him being money grubbing Marxist woke idiot and all other things that is wrong with him)??!! Has he lost his freaking mind? What was he on? What his aim was? What has he done to the company? What was he thinking? How could he have done such a thing?
I know I hate it when they get written off.
Especially since there is NO downside for the company doing the write off.
Honestly makes me wish they were done like with Mortgages but with the IRS.
In that... The media written off, gets sold off in an auction to other companies and such.
Or allow the original creator to BUY it back.
As a somewhat watcher of Hailey’s on it my week was ruined when i heard the news animation is harsh these days
I'm sorry :( #StandWithAnimation
My question is why aren’t sitcoms getting delisted. Unless someone gives me a example
Yeah ikr. Modern Family has a ton of seasons which is surprisingly considering how mid it is most of the time (at least to me).
Actually, several original shows on Disney+ have been removed from the service such as Big Shot, Diary of a Future President, Just Beyond, Turner and Hooch 2021, The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, etcetera, etcetera. None of them are available to watch anywhere legally.
@@nickgadson266 what about HBO shows?
Because they’re not animation, and greedy corporations hate animation.
@@Jess-tified Agreed and whenever they do support it it's just a bad show most of the time (like Velma).

@@tomboyjessie1352 to be a cheaper alternative than Blu-Ray 📀
Locking Infinity Train in a vault seems to be an act to avoid paying the royalties owed on future screenings. It's actually cheaper for the debt-burdened HBO-Discovery not to show any of these episodes episodes at all. Especially as animation is generally considered kids stuff (which restricts what can be advertised along with it). Even if it's not.
The shutdown of the CN website will never not infuriate me. We lost the Nick website a few years ago! Flash's death, to my knowledge, led to the removal of the remaining fun Mattel websites! (Ex: Monster High, Barbie, Polly Pocket) As well as places like Moshi Monsters! I don't think Disney has anymore games on their websites! And it's sad! :(
I wish the higher ups cared more about animation. About their workers. About everything! Great video man.
Also I will forever be angry at the amount of good looking movies that get canned or written off. Especially "Me and my Shadow"! IT LOOKS SO GOOD! BUT WE'LL NEVER GET TO SEE THEM! :(
I just googled and saw that Nick still has a website up. It is barebones though unlike the past. Nicktoons Network even used to have its’ own website that was removed in 2015 and linked to Nick’s main website.

Bro fr Disney got beef wit every animated show like what is their thought process
Iger and chepak are morons.
It's the fact that disney was legit made to Basically promote and upbring animation to now do bullcrap like this.
It really is a business decision. Streaming services have to pay to license their shows, even the shows they own. By removing content, they're cutting costs. Whether it's an actual good business decision, though, seems to be a different story.

Animation deserves better.
Totally!
Ever since streaming services combined with others (Like Disney +, Hulu, & Discovery), lots of animated shows and movies have disappeared. Some have transferred to other streaming platforms while others just vanished from existence. 😰 Here’s a list of shows I’ll never see again (old & new):
*Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart* GONE!
*Thundercats (2011)* GONE!
*Sym Bionic Titan* GONE!
*Son of Zorn* GONE!
*Close Enough* GONE!
*The Secret Saturdays* GONE!
*Nightmare Ned* GONE!
*Brandy and Mr. Whiskers* GONE!
If you’re lucky, you can find some physical copies of animated shows/movies that were once on streaming platforms. This is one of the reasons why I didn’t get rid of my physical copies. I’m still going to hold onto my physical copies until all media players fade from existence. You can still buy DVD, Blu-ray, 4K players in stores but it won’t be much longer (I say we have about 5 years left). Physical copies of shows, movies, & games are disappearing off shelves, same with all media players.
Hold onto your physical copies folks! If streaming services get worse, we may have to revert back to players, DVDs, Blu-ray, etc.
Over half of these shows are available on p1rate sites. Except for the last 10 episodes of Symbionic Titan, which are still Lost Media
@MytokyokittyStudios I know it won't solve anything but so you can watch at least one of the shows: there are a lot of the episodes of Brandy and Mr.Whiskers on UA-cam. Just search it up and the full episodes should be there as of right now in English.
Personally, I have been looking to watch it and Dave the Barbarian for years in Spanish with no luck, all I can hope is that eventually Disney+ gives in and re-adds them in multiple dubs.
Just found out Disneys removing their OG movies like Clouds which was about a now deceased Zachary Sobiec who battled cancer. So sad for his family…….The movie that was about their son has now been considered lost.
Animation doesn't get nearly the amount of respect it deserves. Infinity Train is one of my favorite cartoon shows, and it deserved way better. #standwithanimation
so true! #StandWithAnimation
Infinity train deserved better

It was too late for Hailey's On It! to become a Disney+ Original and reach worldwide audiences with a high potential to greenlight a second season, but Disney is disobedient and keeps airing on the dying Disney Channel with a very limited audience capacity, lack of marketing, and region lockout on purpose.
The series has a lot of potential up to three seasons, and let the creator be able to finale it. Canceling the show and removing it from the streaming service feels disrespected to both fans and the crew of the show. Future serialized shows should be on Disney+ Original right now, and not on Disney Channel anymore.
I feel like Disney Channel won’t be the same anymore. Absolute heartbroken now. 💔

Literally half of my favorite CN/AS shows got purged from the Max.
Kids Next Door, Foster's Home, Metalocalypse, China, IL, Flapjack, Clarence, and seasons 1-12 of Squidbillies. None were able to survive the wrath of Devil Zaslav.
What's the point of having a Max subscription anymore if all the stuff people actually WANT to watch gets bulldozed to make way for the exact opposite? Tell me there's someone out there that actually wants to WATCH all that gross Discovery slop over Regular Show or Gumball any day.

Why do i feel Hollywood just straight want to bury animation as a whole!? Like isnt strange that the animation industry as a whole is dying while the live action is still going? I dont know my friend but it sounds to me like a conspiracy ir you ask me
Multiple factors and parties might be responsible for all of this madness. First, our conservative right wing mainstream society/sophisticated grown adults, parents and Christians think animation is just a kids thing and adults don’t get to watch that kind of thing. And fundamental Christians / satanic panic conspiracy theorists would truth expose an adult cartoon for corrupting little kids and show inappropriate messages and crap even though those cartoons are for adults only and kids had no business watching them anyways and those religious conservatives are overreacting for no good reason. Plus of course, Reaganomics and federal government have corrupted our favorite entertainment companies and take animation for granted and the status quo of the Hollywood business entertainment industry standards and practices and the mainstream public corporate media shareholder investing & advertising overload trying to bark orders at those companies into caring about live action more than animation because it makes money. Also adult society: all they care about is the superhero cinematic universe movies, horror movies and groundbreaking drama movies and stuff. And conservative anti woke people complaining about stuff that is woke nowadays.
These are the reasons I came up with.
I think they see it as competition, especially the guilds.
I don’t really think its Hollywood considering the number of big name directors and actors in the industry do take part in and support said medium.
This seems more like the problem of corporate execs getting involved in an industry that they are not passionate about and prioritizing profit before creativity.
This is 100% speculation, but I wonder if these cartoon removals have something to do with negotiations with the AMPTP an Animation Guild. Like is this some kind of psychological warfare from the studios to psych out animation workers? Cause if it is, it sure as hell ain't working.
Maybe so. It's only going to make us fight harder! #standwithanimation
I also remembered back in 2019-2020, in my country, winx club used to be on netflix, i’m talking the original series and i usually watch season 7 of that and then it got removed

it really pisses me off so much, truly showing how corporations really care about money and not the art itself
I wholeheartedly agree, this sucks. This is why people enjoy indie animation, they actually know what they're doing.
#standwithanimation
Thank you #standwithanimation
The biggest factor I find why cartoons are canceled is something I have dubbed “The SpongeBob Effect”.
In the early 2000’s SpongeBob exploded in popularity and became the benchmark for shows on Nick. If you weren’t as popular, you got your contracted seasons and nothing more. The issue is that Nick only looked at SpongeBob’s popularity after its boom, not the 4-5 seasons leading up to its success. This effect then spread to other networks and became the benchmark for how cartoons should work.
Now since streaming became popular, streaming services have a worse benchmark to compare and that’s the “Viral effect”. If the show doesn’t go viral and stay that way, examples include breaking bad, Dexter, etc then they aren’t worth keeping. Not to mention the giant tax breaks companies get for removing the show from the services and the money they save for not renewing streaming licenses
It's terribly crooked of them. I hope they are not actually gone and just locked in vaults that could be reopened in the future.
Thank you for bringing light to this, absolutely criminal what's happening right now
they fr removed all the cartoons people would actually come for on max
idk why cartoon fan would even buy half these streaming services its not even guaranteed you'll get what you came for anymore

@@magic1wizard I agree. I bet that explains why every animated film that got the rare nomination for the Oscar for Best Picture never won.
This type of stuff makes me scared to even put cartoons on networks in the future because I don’t want my cartoons to be deleted and cancelled for no reason whenever I become an animator. Cartoon creators and animators don’t deserve this to happen to them they worked to hard just to get something they made deleted by big companies that don’t care about animation.
Why not go indie?
For some of the titles mentioned, it seems that the removal might coincide with and/or stem from the development of reboots. Like, the rights holders want to redo certain properties and completely replace the original version for some reason. It's inconceivable (or undesirable) that two versions of the same show could coexist on the same streaming service or something... smh
It's more of an issue with streaming services and the way they are funded. Streaming services give access to large quantities of shows for a low fixed price and allow channels to make use of their archive. 20 years ago when streaming was still in it's infancy and most phone networks couldn't handle video streaming you could get streaming rights for almost free.
In the 2010s Netflix had grown but they became vulnerable because content creators had become the ones "in the driving seat". It was no longer was it a case that Netflix was giving them a small amount for them making use of their archives, Netflix needed content or they would lose subscriptions.
By the 2020s the technology was there for anyone to start a streaming service, however rather than getting paid for their content by a 3rd party streaming service they have to promote their streaming service and pay themselves for their own content before collecting many individual subscription fees every month rather than one lump sum for the streaming rights. It also causes the issue that you can't sell your content to other platforms so easily because super fans of a show will subscribe to the streaming service and watch it on release rather than watching repeats on a liner TV channel who would pay more per episode than a streaming service for multiple different shows would generate. It has become a cycle where without certain programmes streaming services won't get any subscribers but if they don't sell to liner TV channels they won't get the money they need to sustain the production.
Warner Bros Discovery has a lot of debt so they need to get the high lump sums for their rights rather than getting small multiple subscriptions over the month. To make their programmes sellable they need to take them off streaming and on to their channels because they get more money via advertising on their channels and they need to get them off streaming so other TV channels will buy the rights to show them. Streaming and charging a subscription isn't a good business model.
I loved your thoughts on this subject, it's really sad that this is happening to animated shows. Animation is definitely my favorite genre in TV and I hope that one day it comes back strong.

Here's my own take on the matter. The only thing the corporate executives and CEOs see are the numbers but there's also the fact that most of them are baby boomers and Gen X'ers that grew up in a time when animation was almost exclusively marketed towards children, hence why they don't take it seriously and don't see it as a legitimate medium or art form like we do.
