This is a superb site and download where you can make 3D animated cartoons by selecting your props, characters and locations and then use blocks to programme how things move and interact in a similar way to MIT's Scratch. You can upload your creations to the website to share. There are a set of challenges to try and you can even remix animations designed by other users. Discovered via @mberry

Creative Commons founder Lawrence Lessig, Brazil's Minister of Culture Gilberto Gil and pop culture critic Cory Doctorow are also along for the ride

Add sound effects and morph your video using rifftrax. So, this is how you can take things and remix and re-embed. There are some obvious reasons when you go to the site that I would ONLY use this for college level and above.
