r> MONTREAL, Canada, March 21 - Emmy-award winning Toon Boom Animation Inc. today announced the release of Toon Boom Studio V3 for Intel-based Macs. Toon Boom Studio includes a rich animation toolset that works with QuickTime and Final Cut Pro and is a complete solution for developing high quality animations on both PowerPC and Intel-based Macs.

"Toon Boom is totally committed to the Mac community and, given the ease of creating Universal applications, this is the first in a series of Toon Boom products optimized for Intel-based Macs," said Joan Vogelesang, President and Chief Executive Officer at Toon Boom. "In test comparisons between a PowerPC G5 and Intel Core Duo iMac the new Universal version of Toon Boom Studio ran up to 2.5 times faster so we're excited to see what will be created with the latest Toon Boom Studio."

"The blazing speed of our Intel-based Macs provides a significant performance boost to all Universal applications running natively," says Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations.
