• Works in old Web Browsers. Many HTML animation software packages use HTML5, which is great, but it only works in a small number of new web browsers. Hippo Animator is different, your exported movie includes both modern HTML for new web browsers and old HTML for older web browsers. It even supports Internet Explorer 6.
