The new Klaus feature will be made with Toonboom though..
Toonboom has a much higher learning Curve, and is not as user friendly
for traditional Animation as TV-Paint.
Is it because of the special Lightning Options the new Harmony version has?

"Is it because of the special Lighting Options the new Harmony version has?"

I think it had more to do with the ToonBoom Co. providing financial (and technical) support for SPA Studios at a level that the smaller TVPaint Co. could not provide. However, as I understand it , the special lighting in 'Klaus' was a proprietary blend they cooked up using various compositing software such as Nuke and After Effects , although they may also have used some of the effects nodes in Harmony after they switched from TVPaint to Harmony. But I think they already had their special lighting and texturing system in place before Harmony entered into the picture , as can be seen by the 'Klaus' teaser trailer.
