Comments and Reviews
In my opinion, this is the best free 2d animation software. It includes many great features and it can definitely be used in a studio environment. The Morevna edition adds many great improvements like MyPaint raster brushes, vertical timeline and performance improvements. The only reason i gave it 4 stars is because this software may be very complex for a beginner.
Comparable to the standard OpenToonz. Again, when it comes to 2D animation, you'll find everything you need here.
