  Since 2015, according to Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Character_Animator https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Character_Animator They won an Emmy for it this year, their post about it (https://theblog.adobe.com/adobe-character-animator-receives-emmy-award-for-technology-and-engineering/ https://theblog.adobe.com/adobe-character-animator-receives-...) notes that it was used for a live broadcast of the Simpsons, and a Showtime series called "Our Cartoon President" (https://www.sho.com/our-cartoon-president https://www.sho.com/our-cartoon-president).

  Adobe Character Animator is not bad, has skeletal rigging and tracks mouth but doesn't do deformations like this one

  Good to know, it's a awesome feature I am surprised I don't see more successful shows made with this on reddit and youtube

    That's because the animation is very much the least important part of a successful show. It's the writing and voice acting. South Park is a great example of this. It's successful because it is funny and edgy. The animation could have gone a lot of different ways and had similar success I think.

      I think fundraising is the hardest part of a project, especially for creatives. If a group of writers can wrangle some amateur voice actors to work, (Which I think would be the lowest paid actors) it should be easy to get a project up.
