USAnimation, Inc. was an American traditional animation studio and software development company based out of Los Angeles, California.

The studio produced animation for television series and commericals, and provided digital ink and paint services to animated TV series such as The Ren and Stimpy Show and The Simpsons. Its software division was best known for developing USAnimation, a high-end software package designed to facilitate the traditional animation process using digital technologies.

In 1996, USAnimation sold its software development business to Canadian competitor Toon Boom Animation. Its animation production services were merged into CST Entertainment. [1] Toon Boom continues development of the USAnimation software, today known as Toon Boom Opus.
