Daddy Daughter Days: "Guilty Until Proven Innocent" Says The Internet

 There's been some controversy going around in regards to a small animator on YouTube. Someone made a REALLY good animated Scooby Doo short in the style of Rankin Bass. 

I've seen clips online, and it looks AMAZING! Neither of us are Scooby fans, but you've gotta give credit where credit is due here when I saw that everything in this video is right on par with what a normal Scooby Doo episode would be... If it were crossed over with FNAF of course. However, with such greatness, comes great controversy.

The creator admitted to using AI for some of the characters because like a lot of small animators, they can't afford to hire the actual VAs. His use of AI has gotten mixed reception, mostly negative. Even one of the original Scooby Doo actors is trying to get them blacklisted. Which, in my opinion, is a bit extreme. The animator CLEARLY stated he used AI for BUDGET REASONS and didn't have any ill intent behind it. Not everyone can afford voice actors, so us small creators have to cut corners sometimes, even if it means using AI.

Well, using AI and not paying actual voice talent is a big part of the current Actors' Union strike.  Hammering a small-time YouTube creator seems like an over-reaction. Maybe we should volunteer to record lines for this person?

Now all I can do is hope for a "drama free" day. Not guaranteed of course.
