Trends In Animation

Most popular cartoons on cartoon network:
At #1 we have adventure time, a very good show for people of pretty much all ages, it appeals to a very specific audience and is a cartoon made similar to the way that cartoons used to (with lots of wildly placed adult themes that you wouldn't get as a child) so it appeals to children watching cartoons as they do, and a person such as myself, someone who grew up with older cartoons.

 At #2 we have Regular show, this was voted as #1 with the male demographic in general.

At #3 we have MAD, MAD was #1 in it's audience of males aged 6-11 at the time of it's popularity 


Top Animations On Youtube

at #1 we have: Tootin' bathtub baby cousins. this...this made me really phisically angry to look at, the animation is shoddy at best, with no real effort put into it, the comedy comes through poorly implemented sound effects of passing gas and the *ehem* 'SONG' is literally ear torture...how this got popular i will never know...but i guess it may appeal to children and anyone with an IQ in the negatives. 


at #2 we have La Casa De Mickey Mouse, this was an educational endeavor by disney on youtube, the animation is very professional -as you would expect- and is very child-friendly

at #3 we have The Gummy Bear Song...oh my goodness i remember this one, the gummy bear song is a song about...well..gummy bears, translated into may different languages over the years the video and song went viral, and hey, the kids loved it!

Now A General Statement About The Industry as a whole?
well, it appears that child-themed animations take a strong lead on youtube, maybe that's why the sheer annoying, poorly done, immature, armature videos of animation may take the lead over well thought out story driven animation series, like eddsworld or oneyng's cartoons.
