I was super excited to jump on this trend.
When I was 13 and started my first ever animated series, my parents didn't believe children should be invested in, so I wasn't given access to real animation software. I used MS Paint and Windows Movie Maker to make my first animated series, "Wild Whiskers".
I somehow managed to pump out a new minute-long episode just about every other week. My friends recorded their lines by calling me on my landline phone while I held up my computer's crappy Webcam mic to the speaker.
My old channel @WildWhiskers184 is still out there and still has these videos.
I often wonder how much further along I'd be today if I'd had something like Flash or a tablet back then when I needed it.
Animated in OpenToonz (and of course MS Paint)
