Hi everyone, I plan to try to do some simple cartoon animations and wonder which tool should I use. I prefer free tools and as I googled a bit I found Gimp has an extension named GAP, besides I found Pencil also as recomended tool for making animations. I'm quite familiar with Gimp, but still a begginer in animations, so what tool would you suggest I should try? What are your experiences?

I recently switched to Ubuntu 12.04 from windows.
Any help would be appreciated.
