2D TRADITIONAL ANIMATION STUDIOS IN THE UK & IRELAND
Hi, to help all you 2D free lance guys working in the UK I have made this list for you. I have no idea how many of these company links are dead until we look them up. If you can add the hyperlinks some time that would be great and I will up date the first post.
Brown Bag Films, Boulder Media and Cartoon Saloon aren't in the uk, they're in the Republic of Ireland, but thanks for compiling a nice thorough list of studios in Western Europe!
In terms of Ireland, this lot are worth a look, but they dont' seem terribly active, though i think the PolyCount community would approve:
Hi Oskarkeo, thanks for adding the to the list of London studios and adding the one from ireland .
I will change the title to "Europe", once I have hyperlinks for most of the studios above, then I will look into the power houses like France, Holand, Germany with studios like Studio Soi
