“We always call Moho ‘our secret weapon’. We have been using it for years now and it’s really amazing. At the beginning I was a purist, thinking that whatever we did had to be hand drawn, but after seeing Moho in action, I just wanted to use it more and more”

“Moho has been a crucial creative tool for our key Cartoon Saloon productions. The Breadwinner, GOLDEN GLOBE and ACADEMY AWARD® Nominated animated feature film, heavily relied on Moho to seamlessly sit alongside hand-drawn animation. It's such a versatile tool and it has been the software choice of many of our key artists over the years”

“Having Moho in our pipeline is a blessing. Even if you have a small team, the quantity, variety and quality of the work the software helps to produce is impressive. It is a rigging animation tool that can live together with our more traditional style.”
