Imagine, create and animate with Anithings, a brand new children's animation and storytelling tool
About Anithings
Anithings is a brand new children's creativity tool. It enables
animated stories to be created simply and quickly, allowing
children's creativity to run wild.
Children can design and create their own characters and settings or use ready-made ones from the bank. Stories are animated by simply dragging the timeline slider and changing an object's position, colour or size, or by recording motion using the mouse.
Animated stories can be created to link with any topic, be it Vikings, Pirates, Fairy tales or wherever your imagination takes you. The addition of speech bubbles to your characters enables a unique storytelling medium to enhance and build upon literacy skills. Add special effects to enhance mini masterpieces or use the storyboard to plan an epic movie.
