Recently I decided I wanted to animate comedy shorts;however, I don't have the tool that I need.

Remember the OLD South Park's? It's going to be like that, but my funny characters that I draw. I don't want to use a camera though.

Basically, I need something like Pivot or Stykz. I want to make a body sprite, arm sprites, head and leg sprites, and link them all together and be able to move their joints. Just like Garry's Mod or Pivot.

Then I insert the background and prop sprites.

I really don't think I want to use Pivot, but It's definitely going to be 2D. It should also be FREE, but you can still recommend paid animation software.
