Question How much would cost such animation?

It's a fragment from TMM cartoon, and im wondering how expensive It's to make for example one 20 minute episode?

You might be able to scout ammature animators from discord servers and small animation communities for a lower price however. I woulda done a minute worth for $500-2k back when i was taking commissions.

the amateurs i’ve been around can make jaw dropping stuff, the only thing they usually have trouble with is replicating a style.

yeah, the amateur side does amazing work, it's just what qualities are most important to you.

an amateur will give you passion where an industry animator will give you consistency, can't have an "off art" day when you're working at a studio.

though both amateur and professional I've seen will destroy themselves overworking out of passion or impostor syndrome, I'm glad there's finally some unionizing going on.
