How long would it take to animate a 22 minute cartoon?
A Traditional Animated cartoon. For example the kind where a character moves only one body or mouth piece at a time using the same cels.
forever.. in order to make an animtions move fluidly (according to present day requirements) you have to work not in seconds, but in frames.
you see, if you drew a picture for each second of the movie (which woulr be 1,320 pics) it would still look stiff and fake. so you would have 2 draw a pic per frame (24 frames = 1 second) in order to make it look nice. which means that you would have 2 pop out 31,680 individual pics. its a helluva lotta work. if ur eager 2 do this, i recomend an easy basic comp program.
best of luck

~ and 2 the guy above me - it only happens in a week because they’re using a large amount of man-power, extremely good computers with extremely good render time.
It depends on several factors, including how well planned out it is, how many people are working on it, how complex the animation is, and how experienced the animators are.
professionals seem to be able to get an episode a week, but that doesn’t include writing the script which is done ahead of time.
