Seriously though, it depends on what you want to do. Whether you want a 3D software program, and 2D animation or a scripting program etc.

Remove Pivot an Easytoon from there. Flash, gimp, photoshop and endorphin are more professional programs, pivot and easytoon aren't really made for making quality animations or other things like that. Their more like fun little programs to spend your time in.

Well, if your epic at pivot and eztoon then they're not so bad.
But they're still pretty crappy. Just google "flash 8 serial code."

if you think easytoon can't produce a quality animation, then i guess you havent seen many easytoon animations.

I meant their not like professional software the would be beneficial in more ways than making stick figure animations for no reason other than to show them to your interweb buddies.

I have seen some pretty epic shit come out of easytoon, I'm not saying it can't make some awesome stuff, I meant it couldn't make high quality stuff like the cartoons you see on TV.

I'm not trying to turn this into a debate, just pointing out that pivot and easytoon are freeware-cheapy-animation programs, as opposed to that of flash, pencil, or toonboom. [but of course, their meant to be, their FREE]

I'd rather watch bahful, jeckos and sly anyday

Flash and ToonBoom are the best programs.


Happy Tree Friends was made with Flash.
The Simpsons was made with ToonBoom.
