The new filter is designed to sift through the myriad of content on MyToons, so you can easily find exactly what you’re looking for. This works by assigning categories to all content so that results match your filter preferences. You should have no problem filtering through Animations; however, Artwork and Games are still being categorized, so your filter results for these may vary. We appreciate your patience as we work to categorize and optimize your results. If you want your content to appear in users’ filter results faster, you can choose to edit the category on your animations, artwork, and games by going to “My Start Page.” For new uploads, you’re required to pick a category for your work – this way, categorized content will grow, and you’ll get more precise filter results.

We’ve had a blast at this year’s SXSW Interactive Conference and Festival in Austin, TX!  After partying down with Adobe, we managed to give away tons of free t-shirts and goodies, and had the chance to chat with students and animators about what’s important to them.  The cool interactive panels and digital creativity in the air have us super pumped – and as the cherry on top, our beautiful and talented Jessica Beers, MyToons’ MarComm Manager, is featured on the Wired homepage – digg that! What is she so hyped about? “The energy, fresh ideas, collaboration. The future of the web and all the potential it possesses.” And yes, her daily taco intake depends on her previous night’s actions…(just read the article, it explains itself ).
