Which Free Animation Software Do You Recommend?

My friends and I thought of a great idea for short films. We have everything ready except for an animation program. We have everywhere and downloaded a bunch of free ones that were to complicated and professional. We are not old enough to program one or go to college, so we wanted to know which free downloadable animation software is the best for 2D animation. Thanks for your help!

   Some of the better commercial 2D animation programs such as Digicel Flipbook, Toon Boom, TVPaint, TAB, and PAP, have Student or Express versions that are fairly inexpensive. However, you might be disappointed by how crippled these stripped down programs are compared to their more expensive Pro versions. But if you look hard enough you should be able to find them cracked online (rapidshare, bittorrent). But if you don’t want to do that, there are some free alternatives.
   If you’re doing old school drawn on paper frame by frame stuff or stop-motion or 2D, I’d suggest MonkeyJam. It’s free, and the easiest program to use to take drawings you’ve already done and stitch them together into an animated video.http://www.giantscreamingrobotmonkeys.co…
   If you’re on a Mac, use Pencil(there’s PC and Linux versions as well).http://www.les-stooges.org/pascal/pencil…
   If you want to do Flash animation like the stuff on Newgrounds.com, either break down and buy Adobe Flash or you can try Creatoon which is free. It’s not Flash, but it also does symbol oriented

   I recommend – Pencil, traditional animation software – works for me and its free to download.
