I’m going to show you some of the best animation software that you can download completely for FREE! If you’ve ever wanted to make your own cartoon but didn’t know how, these are great places to get started: FREE ANIMATION SOFTWARE: Want to make your own cartoons for free? Had great ideas and wanted to animate them, but you didn’t know where to start, what materials you needed, or what books to study? Then this list is for you! *UPDATE: one of the animators on the film "Bluehilda" just confirmed to me that the film is all hand drawn in Flash.Hey, you’ve always wanted to make cartoons right? from what I observe in the industry over the past few years a lot of the established Flash-based studios like Titmouse, Bento Box, Six Point Harness are transitioning to Harmony ). But my point is, this guy has done all of his digital 2D animation in Flash, he told me he has never used Harmony or TVPaint, so what does that tell you about this short because he is one of the credited animators and most of the animators on the short work at Titmouse which is well-known for using Flash (and recently they've moved into using Harmony, too. He told me he has never used TVPaint or Harmony, only Flash, but he's interested in trying TVPaint because of all the good things he's heard about it from former Disney colleagues like me, Aaron Blaise, Tony and Tom Bancroft, etc. since leaving Disney he has worked in Flash (now Adobe Animate), but recently has been asking me questions about TVPaint.

* I don't know for sure what software was used for the cartoon you posted above, but for what it's worth I recognized several names of animators listed on the credits (most of them work at Titmouse, a studio which uses Adobe Animate/Flash and also Harmony) and one of the animators is someone I know very well from having worked with him at Walt Disney Feature Animation.

On the other hand, if we search we could also find plenty of examples of flat, stiff looking animation made using TVPaint, but it's not the fault of the software, it's because the animator did not have the skill or the amount of time needed (or both) to produce good looking animation. To me, TVPaint is the best available software for this purpose and you can see numerous examples of very fine hand drawn animation done using TVPaint. You can get good, solid, fluid looking hand drawn animation using almost any software that allows you to draw the animation frame by frame on a timeline. Please understand, I'm not saying that the type of software one uses is totally irrelevant (goodness knows I strongly advocate for TVPaint, I love using it), but software isn't the primary thing that makes animation look fluid. However if that same average, less-experienced animator was given more time to animate, allowed to make multiple revisions on their scenes (probably working under the supervision of the more experienced senior animator) the results will be good looking animation (and along the way the jr.

animator with less skill and experience and stick him on the same TV schedule you'll probably get the typical TV junk animation as the result. You could take an experienced feature film senior animator who usually has a quota of 3 or 4 seconds a week when he is working on feature films and stick him on a television schedule/budget where he has to crank out 5x that amount of footage (or more) and you're not going to get feature quality animation out of the guy, but it might be pretty decent looking for television stuff. The software (TVPaint or Harmony or Toonz or Flash/Adobe Animate) doesn't make the animation fluid or not fluid, it's the skill level of the animator + how much time was the animator allowed to spend on animating the scenes. There seems to be some misconception that the software is responsible for the skillfulness of the animation. If it is, would it be possible to make animation this fluid in the latest version of Harmony ? Of course, but it still would've been nice if they actually used TVPaint instead of resorting to paper.

It’s a mix of digital and hand-drawn, depending on the studio."

Pete and Alex: "Toon Boom Harmony and good ol’-fashioned paper and pencil. "What animation tools do you use to produce the animation?" In an interview with executive producer Pete Browngardt and supervising director Alex Kirwan, they were asked: (although some animators are working with pencil on paper for rough animation, which is then scanned into Harmony for clean-up and coloring). I have several friends who are working on these shorts and they told me they are using Toonboom Harmony for animation, clean-up, and coloring. Harmony's frame by frame is mainly vector based, so you don't get the same results with vector drawing as you do with raster drawings. My guess is that despite being colored in Harmony, the actual animation was done in TVPaint.
