## Introduction[edit | edit source]

Cartoon animation software should allow a user to produce cartoon-like movies in various ways.

We define cartoon animation software as some kind of specialized multimedia animation software that should be rather easy to use.

Animation software seems to be commercial. For a full version expect to pay a few 100 / year.
