Is there such a thing as getting animation published?

Hi. I recently asked this: https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20190130215042AADxoO5 I asked what's the purpose of having an agent if you're a cartoon and/or comics creator, or an animation and/or comics person in general. One person who answered said, "Anyone who writes a book or wants artistic work published needs an Agent. Publishers do not have the time to go through hundreds of manuscripts. Agents have the contacts so they know the best people to take your work. They also negotiate your fee and make sure that the legalities are right. They are not Lawyers but have the knowledge." I asked him about animation people and he didn't respond as of the time of the posting of this question. Is there such a thing as getting animation published? Please help- thank you.

You got that answer about an hour ago. Have you considered waiting for a response, before posting this question? Now, I'm not sure animation being "published" as that is not the correct term. I think you meant distribution. Based on your previous questions, I'm not exactly sure what you want to do. You mentioned you would post your works on YouTube and similar sites, so you don't need an agent for that. But this question suggests you want to pitch your show to a major network.
