Is Cartoon Network Shutting Down?
The animated video posted by Animation Workers Ignited went viral. The video stated,
“Cartoon Network is essentially dead and other big animation studios are not far behind. What happened to all the animation workers? Many are unemployed in record numbers, with some jobless for over a year, despite carrying the industry during the pandemic. When Covid first hit, animation was able to operate completely remotely, making it one of the only forms of entertainment that could continue production uninterrupted. But studios repaid them by cancelling projects, outsourcing jobs, and laying off artists en masse.”
Well, CN is not really shutting down. If there still exist CN lovers, they can release a sigh of relief. The video was posted to highlight the struggles of cartoon channels and animators. It blamed these problems on avarice, asserting that large studios strengthened their finances by lowering expenses and staffing fewer people, which benefited CEOs and other executives.

Well, the trend shows the real struggles of not only CN but other similar channels.
