Can anyone tell me how to make an animation cartoon?

2D or 3D?

With 2D the primary tool to use is Adobe Flash. The animation side of the package is very easy to pick-up (only a few concepts to learn about, and then you can run with it) Its more or less the same as traditional hand-drawn animation, but with a lot of added tools to make the task a lot easier. Like I said, its fairly easy to pick up, and really the only thing that will limit you is your drawing ability and your knowledge of motion.

For 3D there are a variety of different software packages out there. However be warned that learning how to use a 3D animation package will require an enormous amount of time and dedication. The software is massive and not always very user-friendly...but this is what gives it such large potential. 3D is very exciting and awesome, but it takes a lot of work and dedication.


If you let me know more about what you are interested in doing, I can give you more specific tips or links or tutorials to help you out.

I kind of wanted to to something like 12 oz. mouse and the intro to the movie juno with the animated background.
