Not really comparable to a game/creative suite aimed at children in grade (elementary) school. This wasn’t about making indie movies on a budget, this was more like the Belcher kids putting on a show with cardboard and a Casio keyboard. 3D Movie Maker was a learning type creative sandbox for computer graphics, emphasis on learning. But it absolutely was not about learning the arcane rituals to get a prosumer open source computer graphics and video editing package working. It was more like a SIMs game where you wrote the script and placed the cameras.
