To: Animation Studios, Networks, Streaming Platforms, and Film Industry Leaders

We, the undersigned, are fans, artists, and advocates of traditional 2D animation. We believe that 2D animation is a unique and irreplaceable art form that has captivated audiences and inspired creativity for generations. 

Why 2D Animation Matters:
- Artistic Expression: 2D animation offers a distinct style that brings characters and stories to life in ways that other mediums cannot. The hand-drawn artistry, vibrant colors, and imaginative designs have made 2D animation a timeless form of storytelling.

- Cultural Impact: From beloved classics to modern masterpieces, 2D animation has left a lasting impression on our culture. These works have shaped our childhoods, taught us valuable lessons, and continue to entertain and educate audiences of all ages.

- Diversity in Storytelling: 2D animation has given us diverse narratives, representing a wide range of cultures, perspectives, and experiences. It’s a medium that can explore both fantasy and reality, with a flexibility that fosters creativity and innovation.

The Current Challenge:
In recent years, the animation industry has increasingly shifted towards 3D and CGI, often at the expense of traditional 2D animation. This trend threatens the survival of 2D animation, reducing the diversity of styles and stories available to audiences. 

Our Call to Action:
We urge animation studios, networks, streaming platforms, and film industry leaders to:
- Invest in 2D Animation: Continue producing and supporting new 2D animated films and series, ensuring that this art form remains vibrant and relevant.
- Support Emerging Talent: Provide opportunities for emerging 2D animators to hone their craft and contribute to the industry, ensuring a new generation of 2D animators can thrive.
- Preserve the Legacy: Restore and re-release classic 2D animated films and series, allowing new audiences to experience the magic of these works.
