I… think you should probably quit while you’re behind.

I’m pretty sure those are called key poses, not keyframes, and that is a massive oversimplification, as it ignores things like extremes, breakdowns, and overlapping action. Not only that, but the concept is completely inapplicable to straight-ahead animation, it only applies to pose-to-pose animation

@Ihhh  
I mostly know about frame-by-frame animation, last time I looked at Flash was probably around 2005, so I don’t know what changed.
 
And keyframes are present in every type of animation.

@Ihhh  
As far as I know, in 2d, the term ‘‘keyframe’’ only applies to puppets  
Uh… key frames are nearly as old as animation itself; the practice of key animators doing the main beats of a scene and inbetweeners filling in everything else predates digital computers by several decades.

@Deserter  
not to be rude, but how much do you actually know about the animation process? Just curious.

@Exedrus  
That system looks better, to be honest.

@Deserter  
I do not understand your questions. It’s just a program, different studios use it differently, depending on their specialties and what they’re told to do. And what do you mean by “keyframes”? As far as I know, in 2d, the term “keyframe” only applies to puppets.

@Deserter  
Toonboom does have support for puppets, although they do not follow the symbol/movie clip hierarchy as in Flash (Toonboom mostly just relies on having a lot of layers in a scene, while Flash allows layers to be pulled into/hidden in “symbols”).

@Ihhh  
Then the fact that they used the same software for the same movies, but one couldn’t even get the keyframes right is fucking shameful.
 
It’s also the same program used to animate JoJo and Clone Wars, how did they fuck that much?
 
Also, Toon Boom doesn’t seem to have puppet support.

@Tetrominon  
Toon boom is only an animation software. WHY does EVERYONE assume that them switching to another software automatically equate to them using a completely different method of animation?
 
@Deserter  
Toon Boom is a program, not a studio.

@Tetrominon  
The same guys that made Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island and Tne Iron Giant made the Disney Classic sequels?  
Well, that’s budget cuts for ya.

@Deserter  
He’s only an effects animator, not a character animator. Whether or not they use puppets is irrelevant. We must also remember that he worked with jayson thiessen on some shorts that were animated in flash with puppets.

@Bexar Bandito  
I meant drawn frame-by-frame, instead of by Flash, considering everything Gagné worked wasn’t done with puppets, there’s no reason to bring him in if they’re gonna use that.

@Anonycat  
Wait. There’s a TV series of it? And here I am watching the original movie of it, and I only watched Fievel Goes West!

The original An American Tail was awesome, the sequels and Tv series were meh.
 
So, if this person worked on the original, things could get very interesting.

@Deon Miller  
Mine too, big Don Bluth fan here.

@TexasUberAlles  
Art style reminds me of old children’s books.

@SaburoDaimando  
Doubt it. He’s probably busy working on the dragon’s lair movie.

@Jerkface  
I’ve never actually sat down and watched any of those either. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’m a Gagné fan from his illustration work, like The Saga Of Rex.

What next: Don Bluth himself?

I never watched American Tale, very few bits and pieces of The Land Before Time, and never watched any All Dogs Go to Heaven.  
Feel free to crucify me.

 
@RIG  
Apparently this one was larger?

@Deserter  
We have no evidence of that. All we know is that they’re using different software.
 
@Bexar Bandito  
By that logic, the show is traditionally animated, WHICH it is not.
