The State of Indie Animation: 2025 Edition - Renegade Animation #170

January 25, 2025 by Michael Kaye in Animation, Renegade Animation

In this episode, Captain Kaye and the Animation Guru are joined by the Crazy Lemur to address what's happening in the world of indie animation: where we are now, where we are going, and what needs to happen next!

What’s going on, everyone? This is your Captain speaking, alongside my esteemed co-hosts, The Animation Guru, and The Crazy Lemur! This is an episode we’ve wanted to do for quite a while, and the timing couldn’t have been better. A few days before the recording, Glitch Productions announced they were developing a new series from The Owl House creator Dana Terrace, John Bailey Owen, and Zach Marcus called Knights of Guinevere. To learn more about this, and to hear the full conversation, please tune into the podcast!



That’ll do it for this episode! Thank you all for joining us! We have provided a link to several GoFundMe pages in support of those affected by the 2025 Wildfires in LA. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10gvOxituYvxxknoY9IQa-YEqfK8WvCjcLBcg4hsmME4/edit?pli=1&gid=0#gid=0
