About Animationclub School

Animationclub School is an online education platform dedicated to training aspiring 2D animators through affordable, hands-on courses led by working industry professionals. Founded with a mission to bridge the gap between elite animation education and accessibility, the school offers structured courses that rival institutions like Gobelins and CalArts at a fraction of the cost. Students learn directly from mentors who have worked on productions such as Klaus, Wolfwalkers, and Looney Tunes Cartoons, gaining practical skills grounded in professional pipelines. The curriculum covers the 12 principles of animation, character and environment design, visual development, storyboarding, short film production, and directing. Course formats include multi-month mentor-led programs and intensive one-month workshops, with portfolio-ready outcomes emphasized throughout. Regular free live feedback streams and a free introductory workshop lower the barrier to entry for new learners. The school also fosters a supportive creative community through active social media, weekly live streams, and a blog covering animation news, tutorials, and industry insights. Courses are priced at approximately 415€ per month, making professional-grade animation training genuinely accessible worldwide.
