This bumper box of movie magic is bursting with everything budding animators need to create stop motion movies from script to screen.

Reviews and Awards
“My child has thoroughly enjoyed playing with this toy and being able to use his imagination. He got creative in so many ways, he was laughing and getting stuck in and concentrating really hard to make things work. It allows children to think outside the box, be hands on and use different equipment and ideas to bring the fun to life.” Nicole, Mum of Child judge Jacob, aged 8.
MadeForMums Toy Awards Team say: “If your child loves creating their own stories, this might just be the most perfect gift for them. It includes everything you need to make fantastic stop motion animation and truly bring their creativity to life.”
“Parents loved that it combines screen time with hands-on creativity, teaching children patience, storytelling and technical film making skills in an accessible way. Compact and easy to set up, it keeps children coming back for more and offers endless opportunities to get increasingly inventive. A really engaging introduction to the world of animation!” Experts at Fundamentally Children.
“Look, there’s so many backgrounds. Can we do the space one?” Boy, aged 7.
“Oh cool, there’s sound effects!” Boy, aged 9.
“There is so much scope for unbroken creativity with this cleverly assembled toolbox. No going off to find clay or stage sets!” Bonita Turner, Editor, Junior.
“Such a great idea. My son would love this tool box. Having your own clay and modelling tools makes this kit feel really special, blending exciting tech with hands-on creativity.” Eleonore Crompton, Deputy Editor, Junior.
“The testers commented that the instructions were clear and they had great fun creating their stories – A great product. They particularly liked the supplied backdrops and incorporating their own toys with the models made from the modelling clay. HUE Animation Toolbox inspired their creativity and devising scripts and they felt they would use it a lot in the future”. Award Judges, Creative Play Awards
“If excitement for animation is something you want to encourage, HUE Animation Toolbox is definitely for you. The packaging of the kit itself creates a sense of awe and wonder with its brightly coloured and high-quality clay imagery. I can just imagine the faces of a class full of children staring back at me, eagerly, as they lay their eyes on the dinosaur-clad box! The USB camera in the kit is great in its own right”. Ruth Astley, Award Judge
