Some interesting figures.

Some interesting figures from The Times Online and The Royal Television Society.

" At the beginning of 2004, about 84 per cent of all animated television shows for children were made in the UK, but that number had dropped to 28 per cent over the five-year period to 2009."

"UK animation is at a “tipping point: it either survives or dies”, campaigners warned in a recent letter to the Daily Telegraph. They want the British Government to extend the Film Tax Credit to animation companies working on TV programmes to ensure local producers can compete against overseas animation companies, where tax breaks range from 28% in Ireland to 65% in Canada."
