What is 2D animation?
Professional 2D animation services bring brands to life through hand-crafted characters, illustrated environments, and frame-by-frame motion in a two-dimensional space. Every element, the way a character blinks, the way a product appears on screen, the way text slides into view, is designed specifically for your message.
It is the most trusted commercial animation format in the world because it combines the warmth of human storytelling with the clarity of great design. A well-produced 2D animated video can explain a product in 60 seconds that a landing page takes 10 minutes to cover.
Six styles of 2D animation, one studio.
We produce every major 2D animation style in-house. The right style depends on your audience, brand, and message. We help you choose.

Every 2D animation production follows the same proven five-step process. You approve each milestone before we move forward.
We start with a 30-minute strategy call to understand your product, audience, and goals. Our scriptwriters then produce a conversion-focused script for your 2D animation project, tailored to your brand voice. You review and approve before anything is drawn.
Our illustrators translate your approved script into a full visual storyboard, scene by scene. Character designs, colour palettes, and environment concepts are developed here. You approve the visual direction before 2D animation production begins.
Your 2D animation comes to life. Our animators work in Toon Boom Harmony to produce fluid, frame-by-frame animation across all approved scenes. Character rigging, background animation, and motion graphics are completed and assembled.
We cast and record a professional voiceover artist matched to your brand tone. Original background music and custom sound design are mixed into the final video. Audio is synced frame-perfectly to the 2D animation.
You receive your completed 2D animation video in HD MP4 and MOV, ready to publish on your website, YouTube, and ad channels. Pro plan clients also receive animated GIFs, social resizes, and full Toon Boom source files. View completed 2D animation projects in our portfolio.

All Magic Motion Studio productions are created in Toon Boom Harmony, the industry-standard 2D animation software used by Netflix, Disney, Cartoon Network, and Studio Ghibli. We use Toon Boom for both rigged character animation and frame-by-frame cel animation. Motion graphics elements are composited in Adobe After Effects. Pro plan clients receive their full source project files in the native Toon Boom Harmony format, ready for future edits by any qualified animator.

There are no licensing fees, usage restrictions, platform limitations, or ongoing costs of any kind. The video is yours forever. Pro plan clients also receive the full source project files in Toon Boom Harmony format and After Effects format for future in-house edits.
Yes. Every Magic Motion Studio production is entirely original and built around your brand. We do not use pre-made templates or stock characters. Our illustrators develop custom color palettes, illustration styles, character designs, and typography treatments directly from your brand guidelines. If you have an existing character, mascot, or visual identity, we can extend it seamlessly into an animated format. Share your brand kit at project kickoff and we will match it precisely.
No. Custom script writing is included in both plans. After our strategy call, our writers produce a conversion-focused script structured around your audience, their problem, your solution, and a clear call to action. You review and approve the script before we move to storyboarding. If you already have a script you are happy with, we can work from that instead. Either way, nothing gets drawn until the words are locked.
2D animation is the broader category: it encompasses character animation, scene-based storytelling, expressive movement, and lip sync. Motion graphics is a subset that focuses on animated shapes, typography, icons, and data visualization without character acting. Motion graphics is often faster to produce and better for communicating data or process. Character 2D animation creates stronger emotional connection and is better for brand storytelling. Many Magic Motion Studio videos blend both within a single production. We will recommend the right approach for your project during the strategy call.
Yes. Magic Motion Studio is one of the only US animation studios producing genuine anime-style animation for commercial brands.

Anime-style animation is available on both the Standard and Pro plans at no additional cost. You can view anime examples in our portfolio or on our BitBrawl case study page.
