    "Not a big fan "

    Posted 2022-02-09

    Pros: It was easy to use. You could create characters and backgrounds pretty quickly. Lots of different features and ways to use the program.

    Cons: Seems like you can only create one type of characters and that is a puppet. I view puppets as lazy and make animations seem super basic and unoriginal.

    Overall: Probably won't use in order to make any cartoons. The puppets just seem so basic and streamline that the originality is killed.
