Most recently award-winning animation studio Brown Bag Films announced the launch of a studio in Manchester. "Toon Boom continues to support Brown Bag Films' integration of a long-form 2D animation pipeline using Toon Boom Harmony and Storyboard Pro. We have always supported and will continue to support their animators and technical team with every resource we can offer. The quality of work the Brown Bag studio produces is outstanding. We have no doubt the new Manchester studio will continue to produce the calibre of work which has already made their team an award winning studio," stated François Lalonde, VP of Sales at Toon Boom.
