How To Create An Animation Or Cartoon?

Much of figuring out what software to use to make an animation is deciding what kind of animation you want to make... If you want to make standard cartoon-style 2D animation, you  wouldn't use the same software as you would if you want to do 3D...
But if you just want to some 3D animation, there is a free program called anim8or you can download, use and produce animations free of charge. As with any software, there is time involved in learning how to use it, but there are many excellent tutorials people have made, and a forum for users to ask questions and share experiences with the software, as well a gallery section on the home site to submit your stills or animations to make them available for others to see...
If you are interested, go to www.anim8or.com and check it out. You may find yourself really enthusiastic about it once you get the hang of it...
Good Luck!
