We make ReelToons 1.0. It’s mostly robots. And a frog.

ReelToons turns your story into a 2D cartoon reel. You bring the story, and if you like, your characters. ReelToons 1.0 animates it. Gary keeps everyone humble.

why we exist

Animation used to take weeks. Now it takes an afternoon.

Cartoons are a great fit for social feeds: they work on mute, they don’t look like the usual ads, and people like sending them to each other. The catch was always making them. Traditional animation takes weeks and a budget most businesses can’t justify for a single post.

So we built a model for it. You bring the story; ReelToons generates the 2D animation in 16–24 hours (or 2–5 with Turbo), from $0.20 a second.

We’re not an agency. We don’t write scripts or pitch ideas, and there are no revision rounds. Like any generation tool, you generate, you use it or you run it again. It’s all in your hands.

You write the story. We draw the story. Gary watches the story and offers no notes, because he is a frog.
— the ReelToons division of labour

how we work

Five rules we wrote on the fridge.

You direct

The story, the script, the characters and the voice are yours. We don’t rewrite them, and we don’t have opinions about your jokes.

We animate

ReelToons 1.0 turns what you bring into 2D animation. That’s the job, and it’s the only job.

Fast, because the internet is

ReelToons 1.0 is ready in 16–24 hours. 1.0 Turbo takes 2–5. Not 3–5 weeks.

Generate, use, or regenerate

There are no revision rounds. Like it? Use it. Don’t? Tweak your script and run it again.

Priced like a sandwich

Twenty cents a second. No day rates, no discovery calls, no retainers.
