## Description

Animatoon is a voxel-based 3D modelling and animation tool that makes creating and animating voxel characters intuitive. Pose characters with keyframes and onion-skin guides, switch seamlessly between modelling and animation scenes, and preview your work in a renderer with soft shadows and HDR lighting. It supports a non-linear workflow, dozens of built-in characters, and a library of motions, with smart rig controllers for precise posing and gesture-based frame operations.

Export as GLTF or FBX for Blender, Maya, Unreal, or Unity, or save animations as MP4 for quick sharing. Import VOX files from MagicaVoxel to add backgrounds, reuse animation clips across projects, and export scenes for collaboration. Apple Pencil support, ambient occlusion previews, tutorials, and demos help both beginners and pros. Animatoon is designed for animators by animators, from Appy Monkeys—an award-winning developer with a decade of experience.

## Review summary

Animatoon shows potential with voxel/3D animation and several features, and some users express love for it. However, multiple reviews complain about heavy paid unlocks, limited free content, inability to save/export without paying, and usability frustrations like moving rigs and cramped workspace. A few reviewers report bugs with premium options. Overall, the paid model dominates perception and limits practical use for many users.

### Pros

- Basic free content is available (two characters and/or two templates) before upgrading.
- Supports 3D/voxel animation and is described as feature-rich.
- Some reviewers express positive sentiment (e.g., 'I LOVE IT', '5/5').

### Cons

- Paywalls and premium unlocks lock most features (in-app purchases are frequent).
- Free content is extremely limited (only two characters and/or two templates).
- Saving/exporting animations requires payment or premium access.
- Usability issues: moving characters/rigs is difficult, workspace is cramped, camera controls are limited.
- VIP/premium features may not work or are buggy.
