About Toon Santa™

If you grew up in the 70's in North America, you probably spent some quality hours in December watching the Rankin/Bass stop motion classics such as Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Rudoph the Red Nosed Reindeer, and a Year without a Santa Claus (and a selection of more religious programming). Rankin/Bass vision did not seem to translate well into the era of computer animation - the one attempt to make an all computer animated sequel to Rudoph didnt capture the warmth of the old Rankin/Bass classics. Toon Santa is our humble offering - a warm, friendly and uncomplicated holiday character in the same spirit as those original stop motion characters - and bring it to the world of Poser.

In 2005, the simple joy of Toon Santa found its way to the Norad Santa website - NORAD is the government agency that tracks Santa's route each Christmas. We are happy to see that at the release of Toon Santa's Christmas Village in 2008, Toon Santa is still waving in new friends to their website.

About Meshbox Toons

Meshbox Design develops original characters for Shade, MAX and Poser. The first Meshbox Toon character -Toon Santa - was first released in 2001 to capture the lovable appeal of that the 1970s stop motion era, combining the appearance of stop motion dolls, clay-mation and traditional animation. Toon Santa has, since 2005, been used to represent the NORAD Santa tracking website.
