What The Media Is Saying
With Toon Boom Animate, a professional Flash-style digital animation software, you get excellent features and options in an interface that is complex, but clear and relatively easy to use once you master the basics.
Toom Boom Animate is the latest program aimed at 2D animation, and possibly the most complicated and feature-packed. It’s quite possibly the only 2D animation tool a studio needs.
A major new tool in Animate is the True Pencil for drawing with a pencil line with variable thickness. It supports pressure sensitivity, and pencil lines can be manipulated and reshaped better than brush strokes.

My experience with Animate Pro
is that pretty much most can be done
at a very high level, hence saving
a lot of time in the long run.
