you don't... just accept it and keep going. if you believe in what you're doing then keep working on it to make it better. Life is short -- don't dwell on things that are out of your control

Just keep pitching to others.
I thought an animator was a cartoon, video, or stop-motion animator. I didn't think they had to have their animation made! Do you mean shown somewhere? I don't get your question.
I meant cartoon.
What Bob Harper said.
You need to fight the current! It's not easy. You just keep going; keep trying.
Well, what about the animation bible?
Why write the animation bible if nobody wants the pilot? Tough call!
Rejection of pitches is one way of dealing with it but, here is my personal solution to deal with my pitch rejections.
After my feelings calm down and I remember to review my own plan.
I review my budget and the time limit of how much money/time I am willing to spend attempting to get another to see my vision through a pitch. Once that money/time threshold is exhausted and I still like my project, I make it myself. Sure the quality may not be as "perfecto" as a "O-positive-studio" but, we storytellers show our stories better than anyone else and with todays technology; tomorrow need not be wasted catering to another.
Building a IP Portfolio may be very valuable if I do have a hit and one asks, "Do you have anything else?" Yes I do. In fact now that I think about my YouTube channel with my stories is a lot more satisfing than adding to the stack of pitch rejections on top of a box of scripts.

Pitch to someone else. You only need one YES out of a hundred NO's
