Synfig Vector Animation software
Synfig is an open source 2D vector animation software that anyone can download and start creating 2D works. Free to use and download it has some powerful animation tools built into the software. I did find it had to animate with no real instruction or tutorials provided by the site other than a document wiki page. Lucky by just searching a little on youtube I was able to find some video tutorial that help me get started faster then the documents provided by Synfig. But the wiki doc are still a great resource for any one starting out. So head on over to http://synfig.org/ and give the software a try. And if you up for it post your animation links in the comments for all of us to see.
Here’s an example of what can be done with this free software
