On May 5, 2018 Toonbox animation studio turns 10! Lumps taken, issues solved, lots of work done, creative balance found – and thanks to our awesome team and partners we keep on moving forward under full sail. We believe that our world is a small place and geographical boundaries do not matter in terms of fruitful collaboration. What we really appreciate is out-of-the-box mentality, expertise and loyalty: today various professionals from Russia, Cyprus, Germany, Philippines, the U. S. and Belarus are proud to call themselves Toonbox employees.
We are happy to share our achievements for the past 10 years with our colleagues, partners and friends:
- Toonbox has produced over 310 animated projects which equals over 15 hours of high-quality animated content;
- Overall number of viewings of our series on YouTube and Vimeo far exceeded 1.6 billion;
