Indie animators have been busy during the lockdown. Here are some of the works they produced.

Cartoon Brew has focused on how studios continue to produce during the closure period. However, independent artists are equally enterprising and are using this period of quarantine to experiment with new creative ideas.

Below is a sample of the independent lockdown animation we enjoyed. These shorts come from all over the world, from the United States to Ghana. Some provide comic relief, while others reflect the weight of the times. Some do not deal with coronaviruses at all.
