I downloaded free image editor Pixen a little while ago and I finally got around to trying out it's animation feature.

As an editor it isn't that easy, nor is it stable. It's easy to crash, and its functions aren't terribly evident, so my production was very limited. I started with a bitmap that I created with another free editor (Paintbrush ... until it also crashed) and then just played around with what little effects I had access to (circles and paint bucket). My favorite part is how the colours got completely screwed around in the compression process, although I'm also a bit irritated with how slow it is ... anyway, I should probably play with it or read the readme file or something.
