I made a documentary on "Zimmer Twins," which was a Canadian website for kids to make animated stories using preset actions, effects, characters, and dialogue in the form of ~1 min cartoons. You could use "starters" which were beginnings to stories you could finish. Originally the best cartoons would be voice acted and aired on tv. There were also games and activities on the site as well as plenty of community activity. Unfortunately, the site shut down on August 10th, 2020. Many users have put together archives and I've made this video to help Zimmer Twins be remembered...
