Which article are you evaluating?
Modern animation in the United States

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this topic because it is something I'm very interested in. I love movies, especially animation. In recent years, more than ever, I think animation has pushed boundaries of what it can be and who its audience is. This article seems to have a good amount of information and sources. However, many sentences do not appear to be cited.

Evaluate the article
The introductory paragraph is a little messy. Its goal is to briefly describe the beginning of what is considered the "modern" age of animation. The sentence structure is a little confusing, and only the last sentence of the paragraph is cited. The article gives a good overview of the main topics in the introduction, but not every topic, so I believe a short sentence introducing them would be efficient.

The content is relevant. However, there are several sections that have no citations. Many sources are from late 2010s, but there does not seem to be any from 2020s, or at least not many. Additionally, the sources seem to be a majority of websites, articles, and box office information. The links to the sources still work and there are a variety of authors. I think there is room for more information. For example, maybe adding some information and examples of shows/movies on streaming services? It mentions DIsney+ in the section about broadcast networks, but there are numerous animated shows now exclusively for streaming users.

I think some sections could be worded differently and the organization could be broken down a little better. I had the urge to reorganize and try to better break down the topic. However, I do think the topics that are touched on are important. There are no images in this article. Images would benefit in showing the reader the way animation and its technology have evolved over the recent years. There are not many recent topics in the talk page. The most recent, however, was heavily criticizing the biased language of the article. There have been many edits since this time, but I'm sure more work could be done.

This is a C-tier article. It presents many good topics and examples of modern animation, but is still underdeveloped. Definitely needs some images and improvements to the writing and organization.
