As noted on the front page, the Toonz software that has been used by Studio Ghibli as well as American productions like Futurama is going open source on March 26. This is a potential game-changer as this might increase the number of independent animated projects across the board.
In addition to Studio Ghibli and Futurama, other productions that have used Toonz include Balto, Anastasia, The Maxx, and the video game Discworld II.
