Make cartoons and robot lingo

These are the coolest and simplest internet toys we've found lately. One is for animated-movie making, the other is a simulated voice that will tell you whatever you want to hear.

MovieMaker is a simple, speedy way to make something hilarious or profound out of basic cartoon settings, characters, and scenarios. Write your own dialogue, add music, and make animated movies out of one scene, or as many as you like. From SubmarineChannel.com, which offers a wealth of interactive work such as this.


Text-To-Speech (TTS): AT&T Labs has presented the online public with speech simulations a la Stephen Hawking, and although the voices here are more advanced and less Swedish-sounding (they even have English, Indian, or French accents and can translate into other languages), they retain a stilted roboticness that can be so, so amusing and pregnant with potential.
