GoAnimate, now rebranded as Vyond, is an online animation tool that became an unexpected cornerstone of internet meme culture through its 'Grounded Videos.' These clips typically feature a character—most famously a troublemaker like Caillou—committing a bizarre infraction, followed by a parent figure delivering a legendary 'grounding' that lasts for trillions of years. Known for its robotic Text-to-Speech voices and stock character assets, the GoAnimate style is synonymous with low-budget, high-decibel surrealism. Today, it remains a beloved template for creators looking to evoke early YouTube nostalgia or poke fun at the absurdity of stiff, automated animation.
