Cut out animation

I am a real fan of cut ot animation as it is extremely simple and affective, I would like to pursue in making so of my own cut out animation. You make cut out animation by using flat characters, backgrounds etc... It is generally created using card, paper and photographs. The way get you stimulate character movements is exactly like stop motion animation- frame by frame. You are also able to create cut out animation using flash which is done the same way as the non computerize version.
An examples of cut out animations are;

South Park

Charlie and Lola

Blues Clues
