Do you want the horse to stand behind or in front of the archway? Smart stickers go where you drag them, and grow and shrink depending on where they are placed in the scene. Enter the text of your story directly on the screen. Drag people and props onto the background.
Animate your stickers and record your own sounds. Make the horse pull the cart across the screen while the boy rolls his hoop down the street! You direct the action of your on-screen movies; just drag stickers to record their motion.
