A Python tool from Meta AI that automatically animates children's drawings of human figures, implementing the algorithm from the paper 'A Method for Animating Children's Drawings of the Human Figure'. It detects characters in drawings, rigs them with a skeleton, and renders animations that users can interactively configure or export.

Use cases

• animate my kid's drawing of a person
• turn a child's sketch into a moving character
• create animations from hand-drawn human figures
• rig a drawn character and apply motion clips
• export animated characters as video or GIF
• experiment with pose detection on drawings

When to choose

• you want to bring children's drawings or simple human-figure sketches to life with animation
• you need a research implementation of automatic character rigging from a single image
• you want a fun creative tool for educational or entertainment projects on macOS or Linux

When to avoid

• you need a maintained project - the repository was archived in September 2025 and is no longer maintained
• you need production-grade animation software or support for non-human characters
• you work on Windows or other untested platforms where installation may fail
• you need real-time performance or a polished end-user application
