While watching an old Christmas movie with Charlotte this weekend (an animated film, done in Claymation style, but with puppets) I started describing to her how animation is done. I explained the idea of lots of slightly different pictures using puppets, or clay, or hand-drawn, or computer-drawn. She totally understood, so i took it a step further and showed her how she could make her own on the computer. So she did a test (and I emphasize a test cuz she did, she wanted to test the idea, but not put a lot of effort into the drawings as it was getting to be bedtime).
Here’s her cartoon (click to link).
And Lex did one too:
