Emerging Trends in the Animation, VFX & Video Games Industry
The combination of live action and animation will alter the form, as well as the content, of film animation.
Animation is no longer a profession limited to animators with increasing participation from computer professionals, programmers, technicians etc.

Although 2D animation will survive, it will be largely in the form of hybrid 2D/3D animation. As well as reducing costs, using CGI for backgrounds allows for a more dynamic camera. The training offered to animators are biased in favor of CGI and so artists with traditional 2D skills are becoming harder to find.
The changing viewing habits favour short productions as a form of entertainment. The viewing habits generally favor short-form content that can be turned out quickly and cheaply.
Merchandise is already a major form of revenue generation for animated films and in future it could form a much larger share of revenues.
