- Cut Outs such as the ones used in the South Park animation

The good thing about the '2D drawn Animation' is that it is easy to create and you can be very imaginative with the carriers that you include. However it does have its disadvantages just like the 'Stop Motion Animations' it does require dedication and patience. A lot of planning has to go into this way of creation because everything needs to be up to the standers of the target audience.

The bad thing about the 'Stop Motion animation' is that you have to plan out your time because it requires a lot of detail an patience when moving the props.

However it also has its disadvantages if you are using the 'Computer Assisted Animation' technique a lot of planning is involved as well as detail, your animation will not be successful if people do not like or watch it .
