Are you talking about flash animation or movie editing? For flash animation, there's Anime Studio Debut, for movie editing, the only program I know of is a professional 600$ program, Sony Vegas.

PS: I don't think this deserves its own topic.

I don't know what you mean by "movie animation". Anyway, googling is your friend.

For 3D models, CGI and 3D animation, there's Blender. For general-purpose 2D animation, there's Synfig. For a replacement of Flash as an animation tool, there's Vectorian Giotto. For general purpose video editing and putting it all together, there's Windows Movie Maker (stupidly simple, but limited and a bit crash-prone) and there's Lightworks Lite (powerful, but not very intuitive for a beginner). There's also Sony Vegas, which is powerful AND intuitive, but costs money. If you are on Linux, there's kdenlive. GIMP is a free replacement for Photoshop and will prove immensely helpful.

I have no experience with most of these programs, so all I can say is this: it's not gonna be easy.

You should use Flash animation. Hand-drawn or 3D animation is very difficult and time-consuming, so I don't recommend doing it. The only program I tried is Anime Studio Debut.

A confession, PowerStar's "I'll make a Wonderland cartoon using Anime Studio Pro" is what inspired me to look the program up.

Yeah, no, stuff like that doesn't belong here. This doesn't really need its own topic either.

Locked.
