Creating animation artwork?

BJG

This is an animation question rather than a programming question, but I figured you folks would probably know the answer.

If I wanted to take, eg, a line drawing of a character which had been drawn by someone else, and introduce some simple movement, what would be the best way to approach that...? I could imagine turning it into some format which would allow me to deform it, and then tweening between the original drawing and the deformed version, but I'm not sure what software you'd need. Illustrator/Flash/After Effects...?

Which makes me say (again) that this community is alwaysそ helpful.
So many libs have been shared here.
