   I've used monkeyjam for stop motion and pencil animations. It's pretty nice. Straight to the point, and free. Wasn't synfig created by a member of the boards here? I believe I remember a thread about it a while back.

   Check out Mirage, it's based on Aura which I have used (and is easy to use) made by Newtek, the guys who made lightwave. Mirage looks way cooler than Aura does, though. http://www.bauhaussoftware.com/2D_Animation.php
