Some teachers are dislike the use of animation in the classroom – lots love it but sometimes people feel it can be a time-consuming waste of precious classroom hours, with students spending a long time perfecting something that they don’t believe has huge educational value. In fact, there are fantastic concrete reasons to take advantage of the range of animation tools for use in a teaching environment.
Advantages: 1 - Gets and generally keeps peoples' interest for the duration of the animation. 2 - Teaches using visual aids, a very strong proven way of learning. 3 - You may think this is funny, but it is serious: It gives animators work and helps them learn some science. 4 - Helps to explain and illustrate more complex concepts.
Disadvantages: 1 - Some people think animations are dumb or for kids and won't pay attention and learn anything. 2 - Costs money over traditional teaching methods and requires specialized resources (animators and writers). 3 - Ineffective teaching/learning tool for complex interelated concepts due to its inherent simplicity. 4 - Can give a false sense of safety as related to science that requires important attention to safety, such as chemistry experiments, electricity and the nuclear fields. Animations are not good for teaching safety in science.
Self-expression
For many students, self-expression can be a huge challenge, and traditional methods of art such as drawing and painting, it enjoyable, but may feel difficult for those who don’t necessarily have a huge amount of natural artistic talent. But the beauty of animation is that ready-made characters can be placed into pre-drawn environments. Sites like the Zimmer Twins are an excellent example of this perfect balance between pre-prepared materials and lots of free creative choices. Better still, it has a special website designed specifically for use in schools, with class management tools built in for teachers.
Creative thinking and technology
When selecting the tools for such affective learning it is important to understand that today’s students are very different from even. These students have grown up with technology & live in a world in which digital technology is part of the texture of their daily lives. They have never known a world without technology. Technology is their native language and they expect to use technology in school. These Kids need digital tools which support creative expression.
LEGO Movie
A most popular animation movie. Kids thoroughly enjoyed it ( they parent do too =P). It’s imaginative, high-energy, and exciting. My flatmate, who is 26 years old, she love LEGO and spend 500+ nzd every year to buy them. Whatever who you are, whatever where you from, people love lego and the creative idea behind this product (such as this movie).
Sound stray from the point...
Therefore, we understand that animation can motivate people and in some way to help them learning things with fun.
More real disadvantage:
Time Consuming
Animators draw individual frames for each scene. The large numbers of drawings and the photography time required in completing a production consumes schedules and can result in delays. Reliance of a large crew of animators makes it difficult to speed up production as each animator works at a different speed. Traditional animation takes more time compared to computer animation, which uses animation software to speed up the process.
Correcting mistakes
A mistake in traditional animation requires you to repeat the whole drawing instead of deleting and correcting a mistake. The repetition of work can become tiresome and time consuming. Artistic corrections for quality animations are costly, as they demand repetition of an entire task. Repetition of tasks to correct mistakes involves a large crew incurring the production more costs.
Costs
Traditional animation requires a numbers of tools and equipment per production. They include drawing tools, tracing tools, and photographic equipment. It also requires a large crew to draw the characters, draw backgrounds and shoot photos of the final images.

In order to avoid the above problems, my work will be reduction in time by change / mix different production methods; use most simple way to reduce production costs; animated content to be concise, avoid 'long time' caused the visual fatigue or distraction, so that the entire animation be focus on one story; focus on a range of people.
