A couple of reports on this, could be an engine bug, I noticed a few reports on Reddit as well.

This started happening to me to suddenly, I dont know if its Roblox’s fault or really the code. Maybe by tomorrow when the Outage is fully over start messing with it again? If not then keep trying

I literally just ran into this issue now. I’m running animations locally also but through a modulescript. I don’t know what’s going on.

Broken for me too. Can’t play any animations on my viewmodel.
Using an AnimationController and an Animator object to load.
Code stopped working with no edits last night.
function viewmodel:LoadAnimations()
local anims_folder = self.model.Animations
local idle = anims_folder.Idle
local animator = self.model.AnimationController.Animator
local idle_track = animator:LoadAnimation(idle)
return {
["idle"] = idle_track
}
end

Okay, I’ve fixed my issue, I believe I may have a theory as to why this glitch is occurring; the dummy/NPC/Humanoid must be in workspace whilst calling :LoadAnimation() on it, otherwise this error occurs.
This fixed the problem for me, but I’m not 100% sure, There have been situations in the past I’ve called :LoadAnimation on an NPC that was in ReplicatedStorage. Oh well, if I’m wrong then it may be a general bug.

Same issue over here! Today I contacted Roblox via gmail and got a human quick answer: they sent me a link to learn how to start to build/script. Of course, I told them I already know those basic and granted more information about this recent issue. At the moment, I’m awaiting for a reply (I guess I’ll get one tomorrow). I’ll update you, guys!

This worked for me
Example:
viewmodel.Parent = game.Workspace
local v_idle = viewmodel.Animation.Animator:LoadAnimation(Idle)
viewmodel.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage

Ah yes, that’s the way I’m doing it from now on. Although I’m convinced perhaps Roblox changed Loading Animations requiring the humanoid to be in workspace. Oh well, at least we found a “solution”.

Started happening with me too, out of nowhere too which is really weird. It only happens after I reset weirdly.

I’ve been contacting Roblox Team since last week and all they did was send me API reference links to learn how to script. I’m really upset right now.
In my case, the problem was caused by the simultaneous animation loading and the “solution” was set a random delay between 0 and 2 (and pray that animations would load at different time between that time lapse).

The issue i found was that the animator cannot load animations while the character’s parent is nil, before setting the :LoadAnimation(), make a repeat task.wait() loop until player.Character

It’s the first time I’ve come across it, too.
I just put in a problematic section of code, checking for the presence of a humanoid parent.
if(not humanoid.Parent)then
return;
end

I recently solved this engine bug:
local character = workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name)
