GoAnimate (now known as Vyond) is widely criticized for creating content that many find problematic. It has been associated with "grounded" videos that negatively portray beloved characters like Dora, Caillou, Little Bill, and others. Additionally, there are "Barney error" videos that misrepresent the character Barney, along with “punishment day” videos, styled-rant videos, childish dad videos, and “dead meat” videos—though the last term does not refer to a YouTuber who creates kill counts every Friday. There are speculations that GoAnimate/Vyond might shut down in the late 2020s or 2030s. A question arises: can companies/copyrights (WildBrain for Caillou, Paramount Global/Nickelodeon for SpongeBob and Dora, and Mattel for Thomas & Friends, Bob the Builder, and Barney) take legal action against grounded videos, Barney error videos, punishment day videos, and dead meat videos?
