“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”
Tomm Moore
Co-director of ‘Wolfwalkers’ and ‘Secret of Kells’. Director of ‘Song of the sea’
“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 worked with Moho on both TV series and feature films over the last 10 years and seeing it grow in capabilities and features over that time, I am very excited about what the future holds for the programme”
JEREMY PURCELL
Director of ‘Puffin Rock The Movie’
“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.”
