12 year old likes animation - not sure where to start

[steh7781]

I am excited that my 12 year old is very interested in animation and gaming. She is interested in experimenting with animation and I have no idea what type of laptop or programs would be a good "start" for her?

When I was in high school (1995), I played around with Autodesk Animator. I think they have rolled that program's features into their more comprehensive modeling suites such as 3DS Max and Maya. Make sure to ask for a student discount, because these are $$$.
