• The character can carry very rich graphical treatment on their surface such as texture, etching effects shading and decoration. It is not a practical option in most hand drawn animations as it becomes too expensive and time consuming to replicate the details again and again across every drawing.

• The character is divided into smaller segments bring together the individual cut-out shapes and move them in small steps taking single pictures at each step to create the illusion of movement.

• It doesn’t need post production touch up if done with proper planning.

• The most important is the jerky moving effect it produces which is considered to a striking visual style.

• Once a character has been prepared by cut out one doesn’t need as many as frames to draw as needed in 2D.

• It requires less space and is less clumsy than the hand made cut out.
