Umbert Actually

wtf were they thinking with the name? umbert? i think this thing will fail on just that alone

Why dont they just tell us the issues with the animation industry instead?

Don't think Anon Babble really cares about things unless they have a furry chick or an underage girl on the thumbnail

Pleeeease! I appered next to Conan and Colbert that one time! Please pay me money so i can enter a medium i have no experience with to make the same tired routine i've been milking since 2015

I'm homophobic and I hate whiney easily replaced artists.

based

Indie animation projects happening more than ever

Which one should I support?

The one that's someone's passion project, or the one that's just bitching and moaning about the animation industry with yaoi bait?

Failed actor and comedian.

As much as I love supporting indie projects, I feel like they did not think this one through
They should've made another indie project instead, one with a different premise and all

I really want to, but I don't have the money.

Because these retards can't actually create anything of value and instead just want to be petulant bitches who wine while flaunting how gay they are.

Why? It's just going to be episode after episode of finger-wagging "nuh-uh chuddy here's why animators deserve to make more mediocre trash" followed by yaoi jokes.

I agree with the messaging but these guys are pretty annoying so ignored

i love when straight people use faggotry as a novelty and then reap in those progressive dollars

Straight

It's LA, we can't be so sure about that

This feels so forced and pathetic, it borders on begging. The reality is that a large majority of people still find the mere thought of male homosexuality physically repulsive.

The pitch, if you actually read it, is 9, ONE-MINUTE EPISODES.

What a fucking joke, lmaoooo!!!!!!!!

People used to do that shit on newgrounds for free! What deserves $90,000, an actual story or 9 shitty little youtube ads (the animated equivalent)?

While I do agree with several key points the animators make it's very hard to be on their side when they keep doing shit like this instead of actually creating the things that people love and will remember for years. Everyone deserves fairness for their work but they also have to actually do the goddamn work. What have any of these people actually made?

anon if you PAID you would be able to see the dark things in animation that prevent them from making it for free

I don't even mind paying someone or pitching in if it's an actual SOMETHING.

Again the pitch isn't even about animation!!!!
One minute blurbs about what's wrong in the world of...
CARTOONS! ANIME! VIDEO GAMES! AND EVEN MORE EXCITING TOPICS!!

I don't begrudge people trying to earn some bread but they picked the absolute lamest hook and are hoping that some gay fan art will carry then through.

$10,000 a minute

GoAnimate is free do they not know this???

they could do actual sock puppets and achieve the same content output

I cringe at it but also get a boner
What's wrong with me?

how about I watch the minecraft movie instead?

When the fuck are we getting a Thundarr the Barbarian reboot?
That pulpy Scifi Fantasy/Post Apocalyptic America vibe was choice.

Oh this is that guy? I hate that guy

Thundarr was so cool. I wouldn't trust a modern remake though.

Too many "animators" these days think they're OWED stuff just for being animators in the first place. They never had to work hard or pay their dues. They never created anything of value that people appreciate. It's become an industry of children who want the prestige but lack the talent to create.

..I really wish these morons would actually try to make a genuine cartoon for an audience and not their weird 1960s UPA style yayoi fantasy for Twitter fans.

If a group of union guys got together to try to make the next big pilot, it might be a fun thing to see them make happen. But they just want to make stupid ship fantasy to a 60+ year old out of date style and only for fellow social media animation (former) workers and their personal fans. Not an actual audience or even something to pitch to a network.

It's so fucking stupid and an insane waste of time and (donation) money.

Um, Actually

Umbert Actually

Pure cringe. I hope the animation lovers call this shit out for the pandering mess it is.

It getting fully funded but the creator just RUNS away with the money and dissapears would be the funniest outcome I think

deltarune ripoff

We need more fan art of these guys.

These two cartoons at least have an actual premise.

it didn't stop this pro-life Catholic artist from creating a series with the same name that gives me strange feelings of comfort and safety

That's because these projects are also partly being financed by the creators' other job (webcomic/merch/book sales for Litterbox and dogshit lazy YouTube content slop for Mark)

I like Alex but I'm not a fan of Adam so yeah I’ll continue to wait for a new gravity falls or some other canceled project of his his, but this interesting at all to me. It’s just Adam ruins everything all over again which was always a rip off of the better show Bullshit by Penn and Teller.

Mark and Litterbox have actual fans. Fans with questionable taste, but still fans. Umbert Actually was a trendy twitter gag for a month during the SAG strike.

Forgot my pic sorry.

They don't actually want to create. They just want to be the artists.

this thing doesn't appeal to me specifically and I am really angry about it

Please give me money!
