GoAnimate – Create a cartoon

Posted on September 29, 2008 at 5:30 am

Have you ever wanted to create your own cartoon, but didn’t know where to start? After a few minutes of browsing the Internet, you’ll come across plenty of interesting applications that allow you to do this. One of the most popular online activities is creating an animated avatar. Although this is a fun little task to complete, you may want to go a little further with your creativity level.

GoAnimate is a totally free web service that lets you create a vivid cartoon from a cast a characters and backgrounds. Getting started is extremely simple and fun to do. You can watch a quick demo to get an idea of how everything works or you can just jump right on in. If you decide to register for a new account, then just enter your email address, a nickname, password, and agree to the GoAnimate terms of use.

Once you’ve logged into your GoAnimate account, start creating your own animated stories, share them with Internet friends, and even build a popular fan base. At the moment there’s no cost to indulge yourself in an animated adventure. The very first thing you’ll see when accessing this new account is a choice of templates. If you’re feeling a little adventurous, then start creating a cartoon via the blank slate method. However, users can select the preconfigured templates for more inspiration.

Choose one or more characters from the ones already provided by GoAnimate. Create speech bubbles to make them say virtually anything and add some music for extra excitement. The more scenes you add to your cartoon series, the more complex the story line becomes. With this handy service, you will definitely capture the interest of your friends and family members.

There’s a good selection of backgrounds to pick from and you’ll have the chance to create some funny cartoons to display on a personal website or social network. To make your entire experience even more entertaining, upload your own personal images to the list of characters.

Not only can you add a sound effect or music to your cartoon, but you can record your own voice as well. The simple interface of GoAnimate makes the entire cartoon making process a cinch. You don’t have to be a professionally trained cartoonist to make others laugh.

Use GoAnimate to display your political views, aggravating instances, and to give a voice to your opinions. At the moment, the service is completely free to enjoy. Whenever you get a moment, head over to the GoAnimate website to spice up your day with a little cartoon antics.

Thank you very much. This tool is very nice for creating animations, especially since I do not have money to spend on expensive software.

How do you make a Spongebob animation? Everyone else is! I want to do it! Show me how or I’m leaving GoAnimate and that will spoil your reputation and displease Alvin. l If you don’t know, how does everyone else do it. I tried using Community Stuff! Look GoAnimate. I just need to know how to make a Spongebob animation.

Yours furiously,
