Last week, Animation UK returned to The Children's Media Conference in Sheffield for three days of engaging pitching sessions, networking opportunities, receptions and panel discussions, including "Animation Assemble! The Next Chapter for UK and Global Animation".

This session, sponsored and co-produced by Animation UK, featured a panel of independent consultants who shared their thoughts and insights on the changing industry landscape and what this means for the future of animation. Take a look back at the conference, as we recap our panel and other highlights here: https://www.animationuk.org/news/the-childrens-media-conference-2025-animation-assemble/

We would like to thank the CMC team, the panellists and our fellow conference attendees for a wonderful few days. We look forward to seeing you all again next year!

The decision by Sky Kids to end commissioning of original children’s content represents a significant loss to the UK’s animation and children’s media sector. Sky Kids has been a valued commissioner and supporter of original UK content, contributing to the strength of our world-class children’s production sector, so the decision will come as a blow to the many animation creators, studios, and freelancers who have helped build Sky’s acclaimed slate.

While Animation UK welcomes Sky’s assurance that it will continue to honour existing commissions and maintain a schedule of children’s content, the shift away from original UK content towards acquired programming adds to an escalating crisis in children’s television.
