Find Animated Cartoon Projects on Upwork

I'm launching Lassine AI, an English-language YouTube channel about AI tools (tutorials, screen recordings, and an animated cartoon avatar as the host). I'm hiring ONE editor for the long term: 2 videos per week (8-12 minutes each), on a stable monthly contract.

=== HOW THIS WORKS ===
This $25 fixed-price contract is a PAID TEST: you edit a 2-minute video segment. The best test wins the monthly contract (8 videos/month, ~$300-400/month depending on your rate). I'm looking for a long-term partner as the channel grows.

=== THE TEST ===
I'll send you: the ElevenLabs voiceover (MP3), a screen recording of an AI tool, and animated avatar clips (our host is a cartoon character). You deliver a polished 2-minute segment in 4K MP4 within 48 hours:
- Dynamic pacing: cuts every 3-5 seconds, no dead moments
- Smooth zoom-ins on the screen recording (follow what matters)
- On-screen keywords and captions at key moments
- Background music + at least 5 sound effects
- Clean transitions between avatar scenes and screen tutorial
- Brand colors for text/graphics: cyan-to-blue gradient
A reference video will be provided as a style guide.

=== REQUIREMENTS ===
- Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve
- Proven experience with YouTube tutorial / faceless content
- DEADLINES ARE SACRED on this channel. We publish on a fixed schedule. I need someone who delivers on time and communicates proactively if anything blocks them. Reliability matters as much as editing skill.

=== HOW TO APPLY ===
Start your proposal with the word "CYAN" (proposals without it will be ignored), then include:
1. Links to 2-3 videos YOU edited (tutorial/faceless style preferred)
2. Your rate per 10-minute video AND your monthly rate for 8 videos
3. Confirmation that you can deliver the test within 48 hours of receiving the files
4. One sentence about the last AI tool you used

I respond fast to serious proposals. Let's build something big together.

I am looking for an experienced YouTube growth expert to help grow my English AI cartoon channel organically.

Hi, I wrote and illustrated a comic book some years ago about Lord Elgin and the Parthenon Marbles. It has been sitting in a drawer and I would love to finally see it come to life as an animated cartoon.

I want to start small. This job is to animate just one page of the comic (attached) into roughly 60 to 90 seconds of video, with voices for the characters, music and sound effects. Think of it as a pilot. If I like the result and we work well together, the plan is to continue with the whole book, so this could become a long project for the right person.

I am open on the method. It could be a motion comic style made in After Effects, or full animation using AI video tools, or a mix. What matters to me is that the characters stay consistent with my original drawings and that the final result feels like a proper little film, not a slideshow.

When you apply, please:

1. Share a link to a finished narrative video you made, not just short clips
2. Tell me briefly how you would keep the main character’s face consistent across many shots
3. Give me your price and timeline for this one page

The story is dialogue heavy, so good voices matter a lot. English language.

website of the book is
parthenon-marbles.com

Looking forward to seeing what you would do with it.

We have our own mascot named, who is our Chief Happiness Officer. The mascot is already fully modeled and animated in 3D, so I’m not looking for character design. Instead, I’m looking for a talented animator who can bring Bandit to life through fun, engaging short-form content.

My vision is to build Bandit into a recognizable brand character that families love, similar to how Disney or Bluey characters have their own personalities. I want Bandit to star in recurring social media series such as:

• Bandit’s Rules
• Bandit Explains…
• Bandit’s Adventures
• Construction Updates
• Birthday Tips
• Café Moments
• Funny Trending Reels
• Holiday Specials

The goal is to create high-quality 15–30 second Instagram Reels that are expressive, funny, heartwarming, and shareable.

I’m looking for someone interested in a long-term collaboration, rather than just a one-time project. Ideally, we’d create multiple videos every month using my existing 3D character and continue building Bandit’s personality together.

If this sounds like something you’d enjoy working on, I’d love to see examples of your character animation work and discuss your process and pricing.

I have a concept for a Youtube Channel.
I have the scripts.
I have the character briefs.
I need someone to propose
1. The platform that should be used for weekly 3 - 4 video creation (most cost effective in terms of cost per month)
2. Create the first 2 - 3 videos using the script and the brand theme that will be provided
3. The editor is free to choose to use a tool like Vyond, Animaker, Adobe etc. that allows most flexibility, ease of use and is budget friendly.
If I'm happy with the video content of the first few videos and your approach, we can discuss long term work in the long term value that we will create.

Our team is in need of a 2D Animator video editor for our WHY IT SUCKS channel.

Must be familiar with 2D Animation, Video Animation. Example: Stick Figure Animation / Bernard Animation.

Having a skill for “visual story telling” is a must. Your Job is to bring our script to LIFE by having good animation and good sound efx.

The following video is being shared as an example of the style of editing and quality that we are looking for.

https://youtu.be/z3tRvJNMd1U

We do 4 videos per month currently.

Animator/Editor will be responsible for:
1) Animation and Editing
2) Adding Sound Efx and Music
3) Creating Thumbnail (negotiable)

Please submit examples of your work when you apply. The examples MUST be the same type of animation like the example (2D Animation). OTHERWISE YOUR APPLICATION WILL BE IGNORED.

Thank you!

AI Video Creator Needed – 30-Second Cartoon Commercial for New Mobile App ($100)

We're launching a new mobile app called Funky Money, and we're looking for a talented AI video creator who can produce a funny, engaging 30-second animated/cartoon-style commercial that is optimized for TikTok, Facebook Reels, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

Budget: $100 (Fixed Price)

About the App

Funky Money solves a problem almost everyone has experienced.

Lending money to friends or family is easy...

Getting paid back? That's when the money gets funky.

Before money is loaned, the borrower records a short video saying:

How much they're borrowing
Who they're borrowing it from
Their promise to pay it back

This creates a simple, memorable record so everyone remembers exactly what was agreed upon.

The Commercial

We're looking for a creator who can bring this idea to life with humor.

Think:

Cartoon or AI-generated animated characters
Funny storytelling
Fast-paced, social-media-friendly editing
Bright colors and memorable characters
A video that people would actually watch and share

The commercial should quickly show:

Someone asking to borrow money.
The lender asking them to record their promise.
The borrower recording the amount and promising to repay it.
Time passes...
The lender asks for repayment.
The borrower reluctantly says something like:

"Okay... here's your Funky Money that I owe you."

Then finish with:

The Funky Money logo (we'll provide it)
A strong call-to-action to download the app.
Creative Freedom

We don't want to dictate every scene.

We're looking for someone with great creative instincts who can take this concept and make it funny, memorable, and highly shareable.

If you think a different ending or better joke would make the commercial stronger, we'd love to hear your ideas.

Deliverables
One 30-second vertical video (9:16)
Suitable for TikTok, Facebook Reels, and Instagram Reels
Commercial-quality AI animation/cartoon style
Voiceover, captions, music, and sound effects included (licensed for commercial use)
To Apply

Please include:

Examples of AI-generated commercials or animated videos you've created.
The tools you use (Runway, Veo, Pika, Kling, Midjourney, Adobe, etc.).
A brief explanation (2–3 sentences) of how you would make this commercial funny and engaging.
Opportunity for Ongoing Work

This project is more than a one-time gig.

We'll be using this project as an interview for future social media marketing campaigns. If we love your creativity and execution, we'd like to work with you on an ongoing basis to create additional commercials, ads, and social media content for Funky Money.

We're looking for a talented illustrator/character designer/animator to help us create the first proof-of-concept version of our company spokesperson, Jack.

This is intentionally a small project.

I want to create a logo reveal video.
The video starts with a wireframe map of Africa (African beats in the background) with the wireframe morphing into a wireframe cup. The cup is filled with letters (ideas) that form into a brain. It is this brain and letters that form 3 words: Inquiry, Culture and Community that rotate with the brain to form the SANKOFA SCIENCE CAFE logo at the end of the video.

I have made an attempt using AI but the transitions are not as convincing. Are you able to clean it up for me? The map of Africa needs to be current. What I used is old - e.g., South Sudan is not indicated. The flow from one video does not render properly as to be flawless.

Hi,

I need a professional animated advertisement video for my app called Vixo.

Vixo is a Danish app where people can get help with practical everyday tasks, for example garden help, moving things, pickup/delivery, small home tasks, etc.

I do NOT want a simple motion graphics video with only text, icons and shapes.

I want a real animated video with characters/people in a modern 2D cartoon style.

Video style:
- Modern 2D animated cartoon
- Funny, warm and professional
- Not childish
- Danish app/commercial feeling
- Colors: dark navy, blue and white
- Vertical 9:16 format
- Length: around 25–30 seconds
- For TikTok, Instagram Reels and Facebook ads
- Danish voiceover and Danish captions/text

Story:
A woman is standing in her messy garden. There are branches, weeds, garden waste and tools everywhere. She looks frustrated and tired.

She tries to clean it herself and carry branches, but it becomes funny and difficult. She drops the branches and looks stressed.

Then a friendly neighbor/friend comes in and says:

“Prøv Vixo!”

We see the woman using the Vixo app on her phone.

The app screen should show a simple flow:
- Havehjælp
- Opret opgave
- Få bud
- Vælg hjælper

Then a friendly helper arrives with garden tools and maybe a small trailer. He helps clean the garden. The garden becomes nice and clean.

At the end, the woman sits relaxed with coffee and smiles.

Final screen:
Vixo
Få hjælp i hverdagen
Kommer snart

Important:
- It must not look like a government/municipality app.
- No medical symbols.
- Do not copy Wolt.
- It should feel like a real professional app advertisement.
- The characters should stay consistent throughout the video.
- I want proper animation with people, not just a slideshow.

Please include:
1. Full 25–30 sec animated video
2. Danish voiceover
3. Danish subtitles/captions
4. Background music and simple sound effects
5. Final MP4 in 9:16 format
6. Version without captions if possible
7. Source/project file if possible

Please send examples of similar animated app commercials or explainer videos you have made before.

Also please tell me:
- your fixed price
- delivery time
- how many revisions are included
- whether you provide Danish voiceover or if I need to provide it
- whether you can create the app screen mockup inside the video

Skills: Video Services, Animation, After Effects, Video Editing, 2D Animation, 2D Animation Explainer Video

needs to have everything done, from script writing to graphics to voice over.

Overview
I'm creating a new digital franchise called Rap Rumble.
Each episode begins with a completed illustrated poster of two legendary hip-hop artists facing off in a fictional battle.

I'm not looking for traditional character animation.
Instead, I want to create what I call a "Living Poster."
Think of the opening cinematic of a AAA fighting game.

The artwork comes alive through subtle camera movement, lighting, atmosphere, HUD graphics, and cinematic sound—not exaggerated character motion.

This first project will establish the visual identity for what I hope becomes a long-running series.

The Goal
Create an 8-second cinematic animation from the attached poster.
The viewer should feel like they're watching the intro screen of a premium fighting game.

The animation should feel dramatic, polished, and expensive—but restrained.

Visual References
The style should take inspiration from:
Mortal Kombat character select screens
Tekken 8 presentation
Street Fighter 6
UFC PPV graphics
ESPN championship intros
Call of Duty operator cinematics
Movie trailer title sequences

What Should Move
The artwork should feel alive through subtle environmental animation.
Examples include:
Camera
Slow push-in
Slight orbit
2.5D parallax
Depth of field
Cinematic framing
Environment
Smoke
Fog
Floating particles
City lights
Atmospheric haze
Light rays
Lighting
Rim lighting
Animated highlights
Neon flicker
Environmental reflections
Glow effects
HUD
Health bars
VS graphic
KO indicator
Round display
Player labels
Scanlines
Digital glitches
UI pulses

Characters
Very subtle motion only.

If animated at all, think:
Slight breathing
Tiny chain movement
Minimal clothing movement
No dramatic body animation.

What Should NOT Move
Please avoid:
Punching
Fighting
Dancing
Lip syncing
Cartoon animation
Large body movement
Overly exaggerated facial expressions
The tension comes from anticipation, not action.

Deliverables
Please provide:
Final 8-second animation (4K)
Vertical version (9:16)
Horizontal version (16:9)
After Effects project (preferred) or DaVinci Resolve/Fusion project
Organized compositions
Clearly named layers

Linked assets
Any required plugins listed

Budget
This is a proof-of-concept project.
The goal is to establish the signature visual style of Rap Rumble.
If the collaboration is successful, I have plans to produce 50+ episodes, so I'm looking for someone interested in building a long-term creative relationship.

To Apply
Please include:
Portfolio of similar work
Examples of motion graphics, title sequences, game intros, sports graphics, or cinematic compositing
Which software you recommend (After Effects or DaVinci Resolve/Fusion)

A brief explanation of how you would approach animating the attached poster
