OpenToonz Does What Adobe Animate Can't: Power a Studio Ghibli Film
SMRTR summary
OpenToonz is a free, open-source 2D animation tool that powered The Boy and the Heron, which won the 2024 Oscar for Best Animated Feature. Originally built in 1993 and adopted by Studio Ghibli in 1997, it was open-sourced in 2016 and now rivals paid tools like Toon Boom Harmony ($139/month) and Adobe Animate, which is entering maintenance mode with no new features planned.
