    Not a big fan

    Date: Feb 09 2022
    Summary

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

    Positive

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

    Negative

    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.
