Las Vegas – Digital animation company Toon Boom has unveiled the Flip Boom Cartoon tablet app for Android and iOS at International CES. The app enables children to create their own animations easily and share them over social media.
Using a simple interface, children can draw pictures, overlay them in frames and then animate them easily. ‘Children now want to create their own unique narratives rather than follow someone else’s,’ says Karina Bessoudo, vice-president of Toon Boom. ‘They take ownership over content and are active rather than passive.’
This is a great marker for how young children are digitally creating the world around them. For more insights from International CES, look out for our forthcoming review, coming soon to the Shows section.
