For Immediate Release
Montreal (March 30, 2009) - Toon Boom Animation Inc. today announced

Animate's feature set and delivers also 2D-3D integration as well as
scanning options and full compositing capabilities with 50 built-in
special effects. Toon Boom Manager provides full tracking capabilities
to monitor the production progress in real time.
Toon Boom Animate Pro and Manager are integral parts of the new
modularized Harmony Solution which is ideal for creating traditional,

offerings and will bring great value to the animation pipeline, no
matter what the animation style or technique is. Ease-of-use,
flexibility and power are certainly guiding the development of our
products, making their adoption and integration in animation studios
of any size the right technology choice," shared Joan Vogelesang,
