Toonz Academy to open centre in Hyderabad

Thiruvananthapuram: Technopark headquartered Toonz Animation's sister company Toonz Academy announced Friday plans to open a centre in Hyderabad later this month.

A press release issued here said this would be the latest centre after the opening of the previous one in Delhi last month.

Their other centres are at Thiruvananthapuram, Mumbai and Nagpur.

"The opening of these centres is just one among the major expansion plans we have in store. We will be opening the academies in Ahmedabad, Chennai, Bangalore, Visakhapatnam and Bhubaneswar in the coming months," said Binu Raj, national marketing head of the company.

Toonz Academy is a fully owned subsidiary of Toonz Entertainment Pvt Ltd, Singapore, which also owns Indian animation studio Toonz Animation India Pvt Ltd.

"The pioneering effort of our academy is giving a boost to the entire animation industry in the country to meet the burgeoning demand for world-class talent," said Ramaprasad, executive director, Toonz Academy.

The academy has recently signed memoranda of understanding with Beijing University and Shengyang University in China to set up centres of excellence in animation training in that country.

The academy follows a curriculum designed by international experts like Nik Powell and Barry Parker, and offers state-of-the-art training methodologies in 2D and 3D animation.
