The Declaration of Cartoon Independents!

More than 120 full color postcard illustrations from the leading online animation network.

Over the past 10 years, Channel Frederator’s become the world’s biggest animation network, built, film by film, by thousands of animators across the globe. Each of the creators completely controls their own channel, makes all their own decisions. There are no filters, no gatekeepers, no barriers to the expressions of these intrepid souls. Just the raw, direct, and often sophisticated moving picture expressions of the characters they love, the worlds they inhabit, and the stories they tell.
