This is kinda funny considering many professional studios have used TVPaint in animation production, including where I work. Also, when I think about my 12-year old daughter using TVPaint to create animated shorts that won school district awards, I'd say TVPaint definitely qualifies as a 'Best 2D Animation Software for Beginners and Professionals'.

(Plus, it works great with Moho too.) :)

I just can't take any list seriously which includes TVP as well as Crazytalk Animator. Two lists, one for beginners, would be a better (and more convincing) way.
