Brazil And Canada Partner To Co-Produce Animated TV Series Using Toon Boom Pipeline

Toon Boom Animation has announced that 2D Lab and Breakthrough Animation, in association with Treehouse will co-produce My Big Big Friend using the Toon boom pipeline.
The production of this 52 eleven minute episodes recently started in March 2009 and the series will air in Brazil early 2010.
Implementing the new Harmony solution, including Toon Boom Storyboard Pro, Animate Pro and possibly Toon Boom Manager, 2D Lab is already in full steam embarking on this large scale project, bringing its studio from six people to over 40 in a very short time. Toon Boom is also providing consulting services to set up the network, assist in starting up the production and custom train the new hires.
Andre Breitman, Executive Producer at 2D Lab, said: "The plan is to combine traditional animation with cut-out to ensure high quality and cost control, maximising the Toon Boom pipeline to the fullest."
My Big Big Friend is a delightfully animated series that follows four-year-old Yuri, who is truly shy and lonely except in his imagination, where he and his big, big friend Golias are brave, daring and adventurous.
Joan Vogelesang, President and Chief Executive Officer at Toon Boom, said: "Considering the quality of this project, we are proud to see it come to life using the Toon Boom pipeline."
