Oooh I can try tackling a bit of this (I'll try not to ramble... )
But anyway studios have been outsourcing animation work to Asian countries for a while now.
You might have seen some of the work product from one of the larger Japanese animation studios: TMS Enterainment who has worked on things like Batman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, The New Batman Adventures in addition to shows like Tiny Toon Adventures and Transformers in the 80-90s.
Some more recent(ish) examples are Cartoon Network outsourcing the animation for Steven Universe to Rough Draft Korea located South Korea and Nickelodeon outsourced some of the work for Korra to a Japanese company called Pierrot.
I'm just rambling at this point so I'm going to just leave a few links below that can do a better job of illustrating than I'm able to.

- jhbadger 2y agoHeck, The Simpsons has been largely animated in South Korea since the beginning over thirty years ago! They've even made jokes about that in the show itself. https://www.today.com/popculture/simpsons-rides-seoul-train-wbna7069645 https://www.today.com/popculture/simpsons-rides-seoul-train-...
