This video is from Comic-Con 2008, but it speaks pretty well to what’s going on in animation and digital filmmaking today. It features underground animator Ralph Bakshi (Fritz the Cat, The Lord of the Rings (1978), Cool World) answering this question:

You witnessed the collapse of theatrical animation… How did you change the way you thought about how cartoons were made, … because right now we’re kind of facing a similar situation in television.

From Bakshi’s response:

If I was young. I wouldn’t even get a job. I’d get a couple of computers and a bunch of guys, we’d sit and eat crap for a year, we’d be millionaires the next year if we did a good film.
