Israeli-based animation site aniBoom is about to announce a $10 million B round, a source tells us. We believe the round was led by Draper Fisher Jurvetson, although the company won’t confirm this. An announcement is expected on Monday. The company previously raised $4.5 million in February, 2007.

AniBoom wants to be the YouTube of animation, and provides a distribution platform for professional and semi-pro animators to show their creations. It draws from the talent pool on its site to co-produce animation series with contributors, who get paid for their work. (See our review here). The site competes with MyToons.
