Isn't Bluey regarded as one of the best currently running cartoons in the world?

Yeah Britain has Danger Mouse. What has Australia ever done? What you gonna pull Michael Cusack out your ass? You're gonna hide behind Koala Man?

>>151694743
Australia was basically Canada 2.0 when it came to the quality of the cartoons they made, Bluey is pretty much their one stand out show, and it's preschool shit.

To give you a serious answer, Australia by population is a small country. They usually co-produce.

I'm tempted to blame arts funding cuts by the Coalition government in the later Howard years.
But that wouldn't line up with the late 90s stuff.

Definetly the post-GFC political ringamarole would be a time where nothing fun or entertaining was being funded.
Australia didn't have a recession but did have reheated American politics.

Yoram Gross/Flying Bark Productions are still around but they were at their peak in the 90s/00s
>The Adventures of Blinky Bill
>Tabaluga
>Skippy: Adventures in Bushtown
>Flipper & Lopaka
>Fairy Tale Police Department
>Old Tom
>Staines Down Drains
>Dumb Bunnies
To name a few.
Burbank films also did a shit ton of cheap public domain animated movies but i think they're gone now.

Basically the same thing happened in Aus as happened everywhere. It became cheaper to pump out shitty cgi/flash series and the Aus government weakened content laws that meant stations weren't required to make a certain quota of Aus content every year.
