James Barkley (aka AnimatedJames) is a animator, director, musician, voice actor, and artist for his YouTube channel.
His projects are Sonic vs MLP,
C Students, and Seniors.
In 2015, some anonymous on
4Chan found out that an artist named "AndySonic"made some fart fetishes out of Sonic characters who are underage on a Tumblr blog. Many
people think that James made them due to the same style.
And that his Deviantart account named "WeirdoAnimatedJames" is dedicated to any fart related content he drew or liked.
Later on, James was called out for dating with teen named Michaela, online named ToxicSoul77 when she was 17 at the same, while Barkley himself is 20.
In 2018, he left YouTube and the
internet due to
drama surrounding him, but came back in
2022 in Twitlonger and during Daftpina's interview and then left again.
