Founded in 1994, its software is used by the best global animation studios: Universal, Boulder Media, Ubisoft, Fox, NBC, Lucasfilm, Cartoon Network and South Park Studios, among others. Toon Boom is a Canadian software company that specializes in animation production and storyboarding software for film, television, web animation, games, mobile devices, training applications, and education.
