It does work on my cut out characters, just with no animation. Great for working up stills! My characters are shaded in their colours.
A good way to teach people how to change drawings. But use a peg!

Also adding a camera will teach people how to use it all. This could be a more indepth way to teach stuff with a bouncing ball.
Open up the node view first. Start off with drawings frame by frame, then using a peg and one drawing, then changing the ball into other balls, then adding a camera zoom. Maybe shading?
