One of my favourite quotes (that i use aloud to myself when i feel like no one at home is listening to me):

I think it's indicative of Canadian programming as a whole though and the fact our market is so small that no one ever takes chances or pushes the envelope in order to 'appease' everyone (ie no one). Like, can you imagine CBC green lighting Kids and the Hall today? LOL no.
Ren and Stimpy was Canadian but no one…

If you work for a good studio, with good owner(s) it can be great - the work fun and/or which you can take a lot of pride in, with opportunity to move around. Bonding with so many people over one shared goal (ie making a production happen on a large scale) is a pretty powerful bonding thing when everything goes…

It aired on the children's programming block here, too! To be fair, those 'risque' ones never aired then so i was pretty surprised when i found out those existed.

:D

Canada's dollar is lower, which is big savings. We also have one of (if not the) top animation school in the world. There are heavy subsidies on animation and film here plus relative proximity to the states equals a whole fuckton of animation is done here. Also kid's animation exports very well - Canada is 'generic'…

I worked in animation in Canada for years. I don't know anyone who worked at this particular studio but it's not a surprise that people were expected to work a lot of overtime on contract and no one got paid for it. Animated productions are highly subsidized by the provinces to boot under film and tax credits.

And really, it's just about money and nothing else, just like any other commodity. It pays off financially to make women feel insecure if they aren't buying expensive items for the wedding. Just like security alarms sales went up after 9/11. Scare people with the worst 'what if' and they'll be throwing their money at…

To do something you love, you need to embrace the aspects of it you don't necessarily love. It's the price you pay. Every job has its pluses and minuses for what you want. if you want to make a lot of money there are certain jobs geared at for that. If you want long term sustainability theres other jobs for that too.
