 I have to agree, don't waste your money. February 19, 2010
Shoshana
Unfortunately, I could not get this toy to work either. Tried to install and it would get stuck saying I did not have proper set up or something. Called the help line and they could not help, stating it's with the computer. I am trying on Windows XP so don't know why it does not work. So, I end up with a child who is very dissappointed and a toy that does not work. Look elsewhere for something fun. Better off buying a good marker set and a sketch pad!
 A good idea for a toy, but needs some improvements February 15, 2010
M. Willey (Louisiana)
This toy offers a very limited use for all the features it has. I acquired this toy for my 8-year-old son, who likes to create cartoons. However, as soon as he tried this toy, he got frustrated because he wasn't able to save them and/or explore much of the motion feature it offers. Overall, I would say that it is a very good idea from the Ucreate, yet it needs some improvements to completely achieve its purpose.

br /Pros: a built-in camera offers a good shot indeed; connection to your PC; pens and screen.
br /Cons: limited motion; difficult to save your work; needs a better manual.
 It's a webcam and more February 11, 2010
inetcruise (Southern California)
It truly is only a webcam with a special function program and came with specially coded computer sheets of paper that you will want to save -so don't trash those sheets as the computer function program will not work without those. On a base level, the toy is really more of a webcam and not what some people would think -that it can (it can't!) do stop-motion animations. It boils down to what software the unit comes with and was disappointed that it cannot do stop motion play. After two weeks of play, the little kid got bored with it.
Do Not Buy... an infant would find this childish! February 7, 2010

This toy misleads you as to what you can actually do with it. My nieces and nephews, who range from 8 to 12 years of age find this toy extremely childish and boring. It makes it out like you can animate anything you can take pictures of, but that is misleading. They have preset body shapes that you have to try and fit your doll or object into and it just moves it around in a predefined animation... 5 minutes after plugging it in and the kids were bored to death. You can play a stupid pin ball game, make a very crude doll like object dance and that is pretty much the extent of this toy. Do not waste your money.
 Present was a big hit!!! January 26, 2010
R. Coleman
I bought this as a shared Christmas present for my nephew's children. It was a huge success, I am very glad to say! They all love it and were so happy! Based on their reactions, I would definitely recommend this product.
