What’s It About?

CREAZA CARTOONIST is a cartoon creation website that allows kids to make their own online cartoons and mini-movies. They can use pre-drawn characters and backgrounds, or draw their own directly into a panel, then add sound. There are lots of options, including using your own images as backgrounds.

Is It Any Good?

Aside from the fact that kids will have to do a bit of experimenting to figure out how it all works, Creaza Cartoonist is pretty fun. The drag-and-drop interface is reasonably intuitive and kids should pick up on it quickly. There are some fun features; for example, once you choose a background, go up to the Background tab and decide if it will be day or night in this particular panel. It's a neat way to show the passage of time, and kids can also change the mood of characters in the same way. There are some weird idiosyncrasies; the Animal options you have in the Manga theme are Hamster, Cat, and Robot Cat. That's it. Want to add some props? There are a few more to choose from, among them chocolate milk, a trash can, and a hover platform.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

  • Once you and your kids get familiar with the characters and themes, challenge them to a cartoon-off. Give them a theme, a character, and a prop that you've chosen, and see where their story goes. They can then do the same for you!

  • Some graphic novels and manga are really quality reads, dealing with both fun and challenging content. Take your kids to the library and explore what's available there.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
