ANIMAKER
website: http://animaker.com PRICING: Two minute free account TUTORIAL: Thorough tutorial in the animaker account. FINAL COMMENTS: I've only been using this for 2 days, but I must say that I really like it. The free account does limit the availability of some items, but it doesn't seem to limit the functions. And the site allows for uploads of pictures, music, etc. It has a camera function that I have not seen in other programs. This allows for a "movie like" scene with camera shifts. I definitely recommend checking this out. BITSTRIPS

website: http://disapainted.com/ PRICING: Free TUTORIAL FINAL COMMENTS: The simplest of all animation--stick figures. You can make simple or complicated stick figure animations.
