Disney still produces animation and Pixer too. So I'm not worry. Netflix and HBO maybe aren't the best places for animation.
Those services will never prioritize animation like they do the other stuff.
Broadcast tv and streams still see animation for kids.
Which is why we should all continue to support Cartoon Network.

That is true for Disney. I really enjoyed Amphibia and Gravity Falls but I was distraught over their treatment of Owl House and their obsession with live action remakes of old IPs. I did think it was very satisfying to watch them realize how popular the last season of Owl House was after they drastically shortened it's lifespan but that's just another example of how popular something can become if you give it time to grow, which I'm nervous bigger studios aren't as committed to now. I do like the Pixar animation but I found myself less and less invested in the stories being told as I've gotten older.
I do love Cartoon Network, they gave us so many good shows, but I don't know if something like Over the garden Wall or Steven Universe would get greenlit/long lifespans currently (I think how they treated Close Enough is a great example of their current behavior) and I'm frustrated that the show they probably put the most effort into recently was Teen Titans Go, a show where one episode was specifically dedicated to how none of the male characters could get anything done because they were too busy getting turned on by Raven's legs 🤢😵.
