The Simpsons Cartoon Studio is an animation software title released for Windows and Macintosh computers in 1997 by Fox Interactive.
Though often coined as a game, The Simpsons Cartoon Studio was actually a design application for creating small cartoons using characters, sounds, music, and locations from the television show The Simpsons. The application came with hundreds of animations of many of the show's characters and allowed users to create and export cartoons that could be viewed by anyone who had a bundled application called The Simpsons Cartoon Player.
The Cartoon Studio included 50 special effects, 270 props and 45 backgrounds and was created with over 10,000 individual cells, hand-drawn by actual The Simpsons cartoonists. It uses an improved version of the interface from Felix the Cat's Cartoon Toolbox. A demo version was offered for download, which has a limited number of background sets, characters, and props.
