KB Gear Disney Sketchboard Studio Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have to confess-- I'm 15 and I bought this program, even though it's for little kids. I am really into animation and I thought it would be useful. Well, I was wrong, so if you were thinking the same thing, don't bother with this program. Here's a list of pros and cons:
PROS:
-Fun for making simple animation
-Easy to create scenes with Disney characters already available in Magic Artist stamp bank
- Fun Sketchbook with music
- Great for little kids to mess around with
CONS:
-Stylus for the sketchboard is impossible to use, it draws on the computer screen even with it isn't touching the board. Drawings come out badly no matter what level of drawing you are at. Don't use this if you really want to make animation. When you draw on the sketchboard it only shows up the computer so it's also hard to draw ANYTHING.

Toon Boom Studio 4.5 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I think this program is overly complex and tries too hard to conform to the paper/cel animation process. I didn't find it nearly as easy to draw in ToonBoom Studio as it is in Flash or even Anime Studio. However, ToonBoom's ability to automate lip sync ensures that I'll use it regularly. I wish all three animation programs I've mentioned were fully compatible for editing.
