Simon’s Cat is made using Adobe Flash / TV Paint / CelAction animation software. Q. Why does it take so long to make each Simon’s Cat film? A. Animation is a slow process and Simon’s Cat films pay particular attention to observed, real life cat behaviour. Historically the films were traditionally animated frame by frame. More recently we use Celaction which has sped up the process but still requires a lot of care and attention. Each film takes approximately 6-9 weeks to make, depending on complexity, number of characters and special effects. Q. Where can I buy Simon’s Cat merchandise? A. You can purchase Simon’s Cat products from our online shop! -
