The State of the UK Animation Industry

Back in July 2009 BBC breakfast did a feature on Animation in the UK with the help of Oli Hyatt at Blue-Zoo.

At the time of the feature it was estimated that the animation industry was worth over £70 billion dollars globally yet in the past five years the amount of animation produced in the UK had more than halved. Popular animations such as Bob the Builder and Thomas the Tank Engine; quintessentially British were being produced overseas in places such as LA, Taiwan and China as it no longer made economic sense to produce them in the UK.  Despite this, The Department of Culture in England have claimed that offering tax breaks for animation would be unfair to the rest of the TV Industry. 

Oli commented that the UK was not on a level playing field with the rest of the world and that the UK were already so far behind; on average almost a million pounds on a regular show therefore making it hard to enter the market place.
