2D Animation

Classic cartoon animations are hand-drawn by our skilled cartoonists, animators and illustrators. We offer a variety of services such as screenwriting, storyboards, animatics, character design, combinations of characters with painted backgrounds, 3D backgrounds or live video, rotoscope (tracing live film footage frame by frame), professional voice talent, sound effects and more.

We've utilized Adobe Animate cc since long before Adobe bought it. We love our Wacom Cintiqs™ and other devices that enable us to draw directly on the screen. Our studio was founded in 1973 as Everyman Studios, started its animation division in 1981, and was renamed ARG! Cartoon Animation in 1994. All our animation is created right here in the USA, and our headquarters is located in Stilwell, Oklahoma, just a few miles from the Arkansas border. We animate in 4K resolution, also known as Ultra High Definition or UHD, suitable for theater screens. We can scale everything down to 1080p HD, 720p or whatever you need. Animate cc is fantastic, because we can easily add soft shadows, blurs, elaborate textures, lighting effects and other high quality elements. For 3D, we use Blender.

For low budget animations, we have labor saving plug-ins such as automated lip sync, character packs, stock footage, props, backgrounds and built-in effects. We offer high quality, quick turnaround and low prices: Pick two!
