Parents need to know that this imaginative movie-making site lets users create animated short films using predetermined characters, expressions, actions, and backgrounds. Users can fill movie frames with still drawings, speech bubbles, and transitional words (such as “Meanwhile…”), then string them together to create their very own custom animated movie. It’s simple to make a movie from scratch or complete pre-designed starter films. The virtual audience can watch and comment on movie clips. Some of the best ones (from those with paid memberships) are selected as “YouTube picks” and uploaded there.
Educational value:Kids can hone storytelling skills, indulge creativity, and receive feedback on their efforts.
Positive messages:Users are generally supportive of the various creations and encouraging of their peers.
Violence:Some movies show the characters arguing mildly, and occasionally comments involve discussions about, for instance, painful accidents like falling off a bike or breaking an arm.
Privacy & safety:There are no privacy controls, but the site is moderated and monitored regularly and will remove anyone who posts personal information on the site, including real names, personal contact information, or passwords.
There are no parental controls.

OK, Seriously this is one of the most simple and fun sites I have let my child on. Kids will pick up easily on how to create their own movie. The great part is how excited tey get to show you their film debut. Parents this is also a guilty pleasure alert as you will find yourselves also becoming a small film director when you create your own films. Great fun.
