With the inclusion of family help for younger members and your wild imaginations running already I am repealing the "starting help" I gave at the beginning of the contest. It was basically an idea I had that still uses everything (what can't be broken?) and starts you thinking down a different path. If you can't seem to get an idea for your film, think of simple things first and wonder how they will fix themselves. So now both age groups have no special instructions.
There were some questions about the age rules. Here are the breakdowns.
An adult or family member helping a young child with the sole purpose of bringing the child's creation to life is still 6-12.
If you are collaborating with someone outside of your age group please use your discretion when entering the contest. Most of you are honest and can figure out without my help where your film belongs. If you have trouble amongst yourselves just place your film in the age group of the animator that animated the most for your film.

No. Even small roles have screen time and licensed themes are not allowed.
Have fun.
