Box art

The Spider-Man Cartoon Maker was a recreational software package that allows the user to create animations with a minimal level of sophistication by utilising a library of backdrops, animations and sound effects from the 1994 Marvel Comics television series, Spider-Man: The Animated Series.

The game was developed by education software developer Instinct Corporation and published by Knowledge Adventure for PC in 1995. The game features narration by Christopher Daniel Barnes who plays Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the animated series. The game includes all the major characters from the animated series, and for each cast member, typically includes three animations. The game includes original music and some characters not found in the animated series who were dropped half way through production such as the Beetle.

The software also includes three animated projects created by Spider-Man co-creator, Stan Lee and voiced by Christopher Daniel Barnes.

A sequel was released, X-Men Cartoon Maker which could be installed over the top of this package and includes the animation from both. Spider-Man Cartoon Maker was later published on the same CD as Bug Adventure (an education package about insects) or My First Encyclopedia.
