What is 2D Animation and Why Is It Important?
2D animation creates movement in a flat, two-dimensional space using width and height. Animators draw a sequence of frames, each slightly different from the last, so that the images appear to move when played quickly. Modern 2D animation is made with software such as Adobe Animate, Toon Boom Harmony and OpenToonz, and is used in cartoons, films, games, advertising and education.
Expressive styleHand-drawn, stylised visuals that bring imaginative worlds to life.
Beginner-friendlyAccessible to beginners as well as professionals.
Clear production processPre-production, production and post-production, from script to final video.
TV shows and cartoonsAnimated series, cartoons and children’s shows.
Movies and short filmsAnimated feature films, shorts and some special effects.
Video games and appsSprite animations, backgrounds, animated icons and UI elements.
Education and trainingTutorials, e-learning modules and corporate explainer videos.
Advertising and social mediaAnimated commercials, brand videos, web series and shorts.
Science and artMedical and scientific visualisations, animated art and digital storytelling.
