I AM FURIOUS. Adobe Animate remains an industry standard for TV animation. Star Trek: Lower Decks was made in Animate. Haunted Hotel was made in Animate. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was made in Animate. And because you can't buy a permanent licence anymore, it'll just be gone.

Announcing the end of life for Adobe Animate.
Thanks for bringing your ideas to life with Animate.

Starting March 1, 2026, the app will no longer be available for purchase. Existing Animate customers may continue to use the app. Support will continue for enterprise customers for three years, through March 1, 2029. For all other customers, support will continue for one year, through March 1, 2027.

In the future, check out Adobe After Effects for complex keyframe animations and Adobe Express for one-click animation effects that you can easily apply to photos, videos, text, shapes, and other design elements.

I’ve asked for this to be posted after my death. I accepted government assistance in dying. I’m proud to have been part of the animation industry during my short career, and meeting lots of fun, interesting people. 1/
