Both Traditional animations and Digital animations You have to draw the animations first and characters.\nBoth of it also requires sketches before you jump into production.\nOverall, animations requires the animator to have fun !

Well, this may not be an animation, but it is a pretty darn good online text covering introductory electrical engineering concepts.\n\nhttp://www.ibiblio.org/obp/electricCircuits/

Adobe Premier 7 is pretty much a rip off of Final Cut Pro, unfortunately it's not as good. It has a very similar feel to Final Cut, but is not as intuitive or as stable. Probably the closest thing you'll get on a pc though.

No, I don't think so. Some of my favorite shows right now are animated: \n•The Simpsons\n•Family Guy\n•Futurama\n•King of the Hill\n•Home Movies\n•The Venture Brothers\n•Samurai Jack\nBut I also go to college and have a job. There is nothing "babyish" about animation itself. Animation is just a way that has been traditionally chosen to deliver entertainment to younger viewers, because they seem to prefer brighter, solid, and simple colors. And now that animation has found an adult market since the inception of The Simpsons, the stigma that cartoons are just for children still remains.  \nThe same thing goes for candy. Even though children like chocolate, in the US today the majority of chocolate is bought and consumed by adults.

The aspect of 3d animation is to take a cartoon into the third dimension, giving it more life and extended visuals. 3D animation is usually comprised using 3d software such as 3ds max or Maya on a computer. Movies such as Toy Story or Finding Nemo are just two examples of fantastic 3d animation. There are many cartoons as well that utilize 3d animation, such as Jimmy Nutron on Nick Jr. Hope that helps.

Try with LiveSwif 2.2, it's free and you can design your own animations in the way you would do it with Macromedia

A tie...\n\nThe GIMP (General Image Manipulation Program). This software is pretty much a clone of Photoshop, and has most of its basic functions. There is a version for Linux and Windows at www.gimp.org.\n\nor...\n\nBlender, a complete 3D program that is extremely functional and flexible. You can make animations, models for games, artwork... you name it. It is kind of hard to learn though... BTW, Blender just came out with a new release which has SO many great new features.

For 3D Animation:\n* Blender ( http://www.blender3d.org/ ) - a little difficult to master, but the best\n* Art of Illusion ( http://www.artofillusion.org/ )\n* Clay3D ( http://www.clay3d.org/wiki/Main_Page )\n\nFor 2D Animation\n* KToon ( http://ktoon.toonka.com/ currently available only for Linux and other Unix-like systems)\n\nUIRA ( http://www.uira.org/ ) is a project to create an open-source alternative to Macromedia Flash -- the version available is 0.0.1 beta and is not suitable for doing anything serious. But in future, it might be the best one.

My son just did one for 4th grade.  He used Optical Illusions and their perception among age groups.  It turned out really cool.  We copied optical illusions from library books and pasted them up.  Then he made a stop-motion animation move on his computer, and explained how he did it.  He also made flip-books. It was cool.
