3D Movie Maker - Microsoft's own animation software for kids, although not technically a "game", it is still considered one by some people

Oh man I remember this program! I remember making one movie that involved a plane hijacking/gunfight and doing some clunky but serviceable bootleg special FX.

It was kind of a golden age back in that day for artsy programs---more like software toys than PhotoShop or Blender.

KidPix, the 3rd Dimension, KidCAD...Good times, so much nostalgia.

Panoots - Dial M For Mummy

Long ass video, but I love this vid and return to it regularly. This video was made on a livestream over the course of ~10 hours. I like how improvised and off-the-cuff it is. You can tell that the guy who made it picked out what I assume was a random voice clip in the software and decided to build an entire story around it.

Out of all of the antiquated video-making software that has been revitalised by the current Internet (3DMM, Flipnote Hatena, GMod, SFM), there's something about the 3D Movie Maker videos that I respect the most, be it the charming early 3D backgrounds or the potential for some surprisingly dynamic animation. At the risk of sounding like a post-ironic zoomnigger that has had their dopamine receptors wrung out like a washcloth, there's also something about the bit crushing on these videos which enhances the comedy.

I quote this video all the time lol.

My dad bought bought a Sony Vaio when I was a kid and it had 3DMM pre-installed. My friends and I spent countless hours making videos roasting each other and generally just having a good time. I guess I need to look into getting this running on a modern machine.
 
Love this program, there are so many amazing movies that go under the radar because a lot of newer 3dmm movies are just low effort shitposts. My favorite movies were the Vlarion 1 remake, sgt steve, and the big movie 1 and 2. A bunch of these movies can be found on youtube, the best place is supacat99's channel.

How difficult is this to use? I feel like it'd be fun for making some animated MATI segments.

I had a busted ass 486 as a kid and had Nickelodeon 3D Movie Maker for it. I don’t know if there are any huge differences between the two, but I remember the thing being REALLY clunky. Moving characters around a plot wasn’t difficult… but I have this distinct memory of trying to place liquid into a cup, and failing miserably because you had to do it frame by frame. There were probably ways to group objects together to make it much easier, but I was under 10 years old at the time. I had no clue about what I was doing.

These animations posted here have been pretty funny though, so I’m going to give it a whirl when I get some free time.

you may even say, it's kino
 
There was a Nickelodeon version, too. Haven't thought about them in years - I was more interested in the fact that 3D Movie Maker used McZee from Creative Writer than anything else.

My dreams to this day still sometimes look like this game. A couple years ago I looked up some newer creations but I didn't know it was still such a big deal.
