Is that a bad thing? How is it better then what they have been using?
I'm not an animator but from what I've read and heard, Toon Boom makes it easier to draw fluid character movements and has a better work flow. I asked Craig McCracken (Powerpuff Girls, Foster's Home, Wander Over Yonder) if WOY could have been animated in flash and he said technically it is possible but the character animation may not look as stretchy/fluid and it would take longer to animate in Flash to achieve the quality they want.
Not to say that all Toon Boom animated shows will look great (i.e. Family Guy). Like Flash, it really depends on the style they're going for and how much effort is needed.
The only other
movie to be animated in Toon Boom was
Princess and the Frog.Could the MLP Movie be animated in Flash and look as good as the TB version? Probably. But supposedly it would take more time.
