The best of the rise of Indie Animation

The rise of indie animation means creative, artist-driven shows made outside big studios, exploding due to accessible tech (Blender, home PCs) and online platforms (YouTube, TikTok). It's a shift away from corporate control, offering unique stories, personal expression, and authentic art, with creators often relying on crowdfunding (Patreon, Kickstarter) and fan support, leading to hits like Hazbin Hotel and Murder Drones, paving new paths for animators and audiences seeking originality.
