if you're interested in quick and dirty animation AUTODESK has a product
for the PC called ANIMATOR.  It does 320x200x256 resolution/colors
and a single person can do some impressive work by himself.  I search the 
Bulletin Boards for PC's and import parts of GIF files to create the parts
of the flick being put together and use the ANIMATOR to provide the motion.
    You can probably see a demo video tape in a local Computer Store.
