Early Life and Education

Alan Becker was born on May 18, 1989, in Dublin, Ohio, into a financially struggling family that shared a single computer among him, his sister Harmony Becker (an illustrator and cartoonist known as @hamini on Instagram), and an unnamed brother. His passion for animation sparked in 2001 when he began experimenting with pixel art on the family computer, inspired by animated shorts like the 1953 Looney Tunes episode Duck Amuck and the 1959 adaptation of Harold and the Purple Crayon, both featuring characters interacting creatively with their environments.

In 2005, Becker was homeschooled through an online course, receiving his first laptop, an Acer TravelMate, which he used to create animations with Macromedia Flash (now Adobe Animate). He graduated from Scioto High School in 2007 and attended Columbus College of Art and Design, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Animation in 2013, where he honed his skills under instructors like Thomas Richner.

Career

Becker‘s career began with his first animation, Pink Army, posted on Newgrounds in 2004, which received positive feedback. At age 17, on June 3, 2006, he uploaded Animator vs. Animation to Newgrounds, where it went viral, amassing over 50 million views across platforms. This led to a $250 payment from Albino Blacksheep after rejecting a $75 offer for exclusive rights and addressing unauthorized uploads on eBaum’s World.

In 2007, Atom Films funded Animator vs. Animation II, which won a People’s Choice Webby Award. Becker collaborated with 14-year-old Charles Yeh in 2007 to create an online game based on the series.

He continued the franchise with Animator vs. Animation III (2011), IV (2014, crowdfunded via Kickstarter with over $11,000), and V (2020), alongside spin-offs like Animation vs. Minecraft Shorts, Animation vs. YouTube, Animation vs. League of Legends, Animation vs. Pokémon, and Animation vs. Super Mario Bros..

Notable recent works include Animation vs. Math (2023, 84 million views by March 2025) and Animation vs. Physics. Becker manages three YouTube channels: his main channel (@AlanBecker, 26 million subscribers, 6 billion views), AlanBeckerTutorials, and Animators VS Games with DJ Welch. He released a card game based on his animations in 2018 via Kickstarter and works as a freelance animator, contributing to projects like Animation vs. Education. His animations are known for their dialogue-free, action-packed stick figure narratives.
