Summary: Pretty good but hard to control!
Review: At first I hated this game, I didn't know how to control it! So I was so angry, but then I played it for a while and it was very easy, this is a great game but gets boring after a while but it still pretty fun so if you are a big fan of the Simpsons, get this game!

Summary: My kids LOVE this game!
Review: I bought the Simpsons Cartoon Studio CD ROM for my twin 12 year olds boys' birthdays. They are both Simpson fanatics, and love everything Simpsons. I had read some of the negative reviews on this product here, and was a bit wary of it as a result ... but I got it anyway. Mostly, the reviews said that the instructions were either missing or inadequate, and it was too difficult to figure out how to make the program do anything, or control the animations. Well, nothing could be farther from the truth. My one son who is more technical read the HUGE included instruction booklet cover to cover the first night, and from then on he was off and running. He says this is his favorite Computer game now, and he absolutely loves the animation possibilities, the characters, props, backgrounds, voices, music, etc. He has created several complicated masterpieces that look great. I can only conclude that they must have re-released this CD with a better instruction book after the earlier reviews were written. (There are actually two copyright dates on it, so that's probably what happened.) In any case, it's a huge hit in our house, and my sons are both thrilled with it!!! We also got the "Virtual Springfield" CD ROM ... another FANTASTIC game! One son likes that one more, but the other likes the Cartoon Studio better!

Summary: Not as fun as it looks
Review: I bought this game and thought that it would be simple but it is not. It didn't work very well on my computer and my PC is only a year old. It would have been fun if I could have saved my cartoons because it is a very long and sometimes tedious job to make a cartoon. Overall it was worth the $3 I spent on it but it wasn'i quite what I had expected.

Summary: Not very..
Review: Not very good or fun,this game.I got it along with Virtual Springfield,a package deal.V.S. is Ok but this a bit lame.The idea is to make your own Simpson cartoons,but you cannot even put 2 characters in one scene.It was a [chincy]game and it shows.It may still be worth a look at though.

Summary: Cowabunga, dude - you can make your own Simpsons cartoons
Review: One of the joys of being a packrat is discovering really cool stuff you forgot you ever owned. The Simpsons Cartoon Studio joins my list of rediscovered gems. I fired this thing up in my XP PC (it's also compatible with Macs) and soon found myself spending more time than I had planned just having fun. It is true, my friends - while you probably won't transform yourself into Matt Groening, you can indeed make your own Simpsons cartoons. It's not inherently easy to do, but with time, practice, and some imagination, you can amuse your friends and indulge the little child in you that always wanted to grow up and be a cartoonist. This software gives you more options than you might expect, especially given the fact it was released way back in 1996. First, you can choose from a total of 35 backdrops, including many beloved Springfield locations, as the setting for your little cartoon adventure. Fill the space with your choice of a huge number of items - furniture, signs, electronic gadgets, three-eyed fish, etc. Once the scene is set, bring on the actors - luckily, you won't have to deal with threatened actors' strikes in order to bring your Simpsons creations life. Almost all of your favorites are here: Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie, Mr. Burns (Excellent!), Smithers, Krusty, Milhouse, Barney, Moe, Nelson, Flanders, Ralph, the aliens, etc. Each of them comes equipped with a number of different actions and sound clips. Naturally, the Simpsons family members offer you the most options, but you can easily add such elements as Homer running and falling down, Lisa getting down with her bad self on the saxophone, Bart skateboarding by, Maggie plopping down on the ground, Nelson pointing and laughing, Barney burping - it goes on and on. Then there are a number of choices for background music, after which you can add opening and closing credits, screen dissolves, special effects (lots of good stuff here), and basically engage in unrestrained cartoon mayhem. Ah, but things aren't quite that simple, and here is where a lot of home cartoonists meet with frustration. It can be a challenge to make things happen the way you want them to, and the interface is a little clumsy at first. After a reasonable amount of time, however, everything starts to click; you learn how to make the cartoon last as long as you want, how to make that darn piece of furniture stay in the scene from start to finish, where and how to introduce new characters midway through the cartoon, how and when to insert the appropriate voices for your characters' actions, and everything else you need to know to let that little Groening demon inside you out to play. It looks hard at first, but it really isn't. I'm not sure how easily younger children can adapt to the interface, but older children and all those of us committed to remaining young at heart can have a lot of fun with this software. So can your friends, to whom you can send your little masterpieces - whether or not they have this software themselves.
