Basic animation software for a special case person ..

I have a cousin who is 19 .
He is a slow learner.Doctors and people around suggested that he should be engaged into some computer courses . Looking at his interests..Animation seems to be the right choice for him.
But before pushing him into anything serious..we need to test him out at home.
So anybody can suggest me such a basic level software..which is for novices ?
Thanks in advance.
Answer #1
animation is very broad and sometimes misused. i recomend you teach him how to draw rather than animate. but with my experience in animation i think maya is the easiest.

Answer #3
Try something like Pivot Stickfigure Animator. Its free, easy to use and not overwhelming as Maya or Blender, for someone who is new to animation.

This isn’t an animation program but may come in useful if he gets bored of animation. You make your own games with it, simple to usehttp://fuse.microsoft.com/project/Kodu.aspx
