Guys, I need some new animation software, and I need it as simple as it gets. Literally, I'm 11, so my skills in animating aren't that good. Any simple software?

Short answer: for real animating, nope.
Seeing as you are 11, you may be into minecraft, so this may help

How “simple” do you want it?
If you want really simple, you could just make frames with GIMP or Paint or something, or even use Scratch's editor, then put them into 1 animation.
But if you want more, trying something less simple would be good, like Synfig. It's not really simple, but when you find how to use it, it's good. There are some good tutorials like this one, if you want to try it.
If you want something simpler than Synfig, but something better than drawing frames and stuff, there's a list of some 2D animation software on Wikipedia.

Sno, are you looking for ones that are free? If not, I'd suggest toonboom Animation-ish and Animate. They are extremely simple and you can export them to gif files or to video. I'm 12 so I know your pain.

Blender good but I don't think its simple!

Maybe Cinema4D could work for you. I dont use it but id highly recommend it. It very simple and i think that for beginners such as yourself, Im sure itll be worth the money.

Heres a link:

By the way. Im 12. An been animating for over 5 years. Though i started getting into computer 3D animations about a year ago.

Also are you looking for a 3d animation software, or a 2d animation software?

I use Firealpaca and Window Live MovieMaker but if you want to spend money for an actual animation software
how bout Toonboom a free program (kinda good) is Pencil2d
well hope it helped o-o
if it did tell me I may also have more programs


your a great artist btw

Blender

Same here, but I'm looking for free vector animation software other than Scratch that makes .mp4 files with audio.

Blender is awesome. It's free and does everything.

The only problem is it's really complicated and it is very difficult to find good tutorials on the internet.

However, it is basically industry-standard and runs on any computer, and can make really awesome movie-quality animations. The Blender Open Movies are a really good example of this.

Read the above, I'm looking for 2D vector animation software that is free and makes mp4 and GIF files.
