Toon Boom is an industry leader in creating 2D animation software, and has been used for animating The Simpsons, Family Guy, Bob’s Burgers, Sponge Bob Square Pants, and even Disney’s The Frog Princess.
In 2D animation, there are basically 2 types of animation, full animation, also referred to as hand-drawn, or “Disney” animation, wherein each frame of animation is drawn… think classic Bugs Bunny cartoons. The second type of 2D animation is called limited animation, also referred to as cut-out, or Flash animation… most prime-time animation, The Simpsons, etc. use cut-out animation. The major focus of this course is cut-out animation, where we will create, rig, and animate a 2D digital puppet… our main character, Bob.
For the traditional animator, Toon Boom software has the feeling of 2D animation software, built for animators. Throughout the course, I’ll be showing you the different tools and windows, all of which are based on traditional animation terms like pegs, fields, color cards, onionskin, light tables, and more.
For the more seasoned digital animator, if you’re familiar with working with programs like Flash, throughout the course I’ll be demonstrating how Toon Boom Animate differs and what makes it a powerful program. Just one example, Animate has a camera that works in 3D space. Imagine setting up a multiplane scene in just minutes, without you having to install any additional plugins or software!
The best part of this course? Even if you don’t own Toon Boom Animate, you can download a FREE fully functioning demo. Toon Boom creates PLEs (Personal Learning Editions) for virtually all of their software.
So, if you’re ready to learn how to animate, purchase this course and let’s get started!

Maybe you don't need an animated ad yet because you still don't have a product to sell. You have a great...
The teacher is very good and detailed oriented in teaching, I learned so much.
Easy to follow. Can go at my own pace. It's also very detailed.
How the teacher explained, I appreciate it a lot
I really like this course. I am still on Toon Boom Animate 2 but the version is this course is just one version ahead, so I can repeat most steps of this course with my older version.
For a beginner such as myself, the items I wanted to grasp first were much further on than the items that would require refining in the learning process.
Excellent !.. Tony explique vraiment bien et prend le temps d'aborder les points essentiels pour nous permettre d'aborder avec de bonnes bases ce logiciel formidable qu'est maintenant Toon Boom Harmony !.. un nouveau cours adapté aux nouveautés d'Harmony est le bienvenu !.. Merci Tony, well done !
I've been using Smith Micro's Moho Pro but they are not MAC friendly. They haven't committed to supporting the latest OS, so I'm looking for options. Toonboom is the go to for pros. I'm not a pro, but I want a product that isn't going become obsolete. I am liking the style of the instructor very much. Although they are two very different programs, his approach makes this deep program very accessible.
Even-though, I am using Toon Boom Harmony, I am feeling very comfortable because the instructor is taking his time to explain the software. I am looking forward to when the work starts. Excellent Job!
Yes, it gave me some perspective with what I can do with some other projects, Thank you. I like some of the tips and tricks you could do in Toon Boom.
Thank you for teaching me about Toon Boom. It has inspired me to go out and start working on my own animation projects. I plan on using some of the tips I've learned throughout this entire course.

Not enough exercises. Graphic softwares can be learned only from practice, otherwise it's just a reference book that will be forgotten immediately
