@allanbuzzy.bsky.social writes how he thinks there isn't enough indie animated cartoons taking principles from animation in the past, as opposed to modern networks like Cartoon Network, in his new #RACCRAMBLE ioxtv.co/blog/2026/fe... #indieanimation #ioxTV #opinion

RACC RAMBLE: Less CN, more 80's
In this article, I try to argue that the modern web ecosystem of indie animation lacks the simplicity and/or approaches to animation in the 80s, 90s and 2000s.

YouTube will soon require Shorts creators to hit 10 million qualified views every 90 days to earn ad revenue. Independent animators say the rule could push them away from the platform and out of the format entirely. www.cartoonbrew.com/shorts/youtu...

YouTube’s New Shorts Monetization Rule Threatens Animators
Creators say YouTube’s recurring 10-million-view requirement will make Shorts revenue unreliable for human animators, pushing them to other platforms.

Following news about Daydreaming Birdie, I think it's important now more than ever to ensure content like #CRiTORA doesn't remain lost forever. I have replaced embeds on ioxtv.co with their Internet Archive equivalents, and I hope you understand why I care deeply about stuff like this. @ioxtv.co
CRiTORA
Created by
Daydreaming Birdie
Featured by
Allanbuzzy
""In a digital island city known as CRiTOPiA, small virtual creatures called CRiTORA go on all sorts of zany misadventures. Each CRiTORA has a unique appearance and personality and reside in the different Districts in the city. The only threat to the CRiTORA are the pesky ViRUSES, led by Queen Creatophage, who want to infect all CRiTORA and rule CRiTOPiA!""

CRiTORA, to me, reminds me of the somewhat underrated series Mixels.
In a good way, of course.

Since we originally featured the series, Birdie sort of soft-rebooted the series, with 2020-2022 now considered the "Classic" series and it now being acknowledged as "not canon". At least, that's what the CRiTORA Fandom says.

Canon or not, CRiTORA is still a really fun series, so it is certainly worth checking out.

14/02/2022

NOTE: As of April 2026, the original CRiTORA uploader, Daydreaming Birdie, recently deleted his entire YouTube account, meaning that the original places to stream this show are now inaccessible. Fortunately, the series has been well archived on Internet Archive, and if you know the links, you can find that the series has been well archived. As such, this page's embeds have been replaced with their Internet Archive equivalents. It's important to archive content to ensure that impulsive actions and negativity don't win, and as such, we hope you understand.

Life of a Salesman - Animated Short
Created by
Zeramations
Featured by
Allanbuzzy
One of the things I've noticed, and I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking this, is that there's been a weird sort of "boom" for old retro PC-styled animations. I know it's not really a new thing, especially with creators like Xploshi who have perfected this style to a T even, and the recent boom of success that GLITCH has had with The Amazing Digital Circus. Regardless, it's still fun to see this style and I don't think I'll grow old of it any time soon.

Zeramations has always put out great animations, and if there's anything else I'd recommend you watch from this creator, definitely go check out Alto. Go give them some iox-endorsed love.
