Toon Boom is an industry leader in creating 2D animation software and has been used for animating The Simpsons, Family Guy, Bob's Burgers, SpongeBob SquarePants, and even Disney's The Princess and the Frog.

In 2D animation, there are basically two types of animation. There's 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 (Adobe Animate) 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, Miss Peel.
