v1.453 © 2003 by Jeremy Wood

 

... a freeware graphics utility for the Macintosh to create pictures and simple animations

Depending on the OS you're running, the Cartoon Editor may launch simply by double-clicking it. If this fails, you can open it through a terminal with the command: java -jar editor.jar

The Cartoon Editor is a simple tool to create QuickTime movies, digital video, or frames of an animation. Built on top of Java2D, it offers transparencies, gradients, styled text, splined curves, vector-based animation, and many many more big words.
