Animation : Cartoon Brew's 2024 Animation Industry Power Ranking by Bob Harper

Thanks for sharing this, Bob Harper! It’s always helpful to see who’s currently shaping the animation landscape, especially for those of us looking to stay informed, find inspiration, or even identify potential collaborators or mentors. While the industry is always evolving, lists like this give great insight into the creative and executive powerhouses driving innovation right now. Definitely a valuable resource to keep on hand!

Thank you Bob Harper for sharing this. I was talking with the co-owner of my production company and we spoke about wanting to dive deeper into the animation space and getting a grasp of who is all out there and what they've done and are currently doing. I like that it provides a list of individuals but also gives a summary of each accomplishments. Truly inspiring.

Great share Bob Harper - so many names that I'm more familiar with than others. It's like you can tell what brands we're into by the names we recognize (Sam Register/Chris Meledandri). John Lasseter is a brand in himself.

Such an odd mix of a list, but it's great that it is, and includes a variety of creators and reps and execs. Although 3 and half months into 2025 and much of it is already inaccurate, so definitely do your homework before contacting any.

Laurie Ashbourne I agree the list isn't accurate, like you, I noticed the eclectic choices they made. The only people with real power in the industry are those at the top of the heap. The rest come and go.
