It was my first time using Animoto and I had fun using it. Although the program allowed you to only make a 30 seconds clip, I found it to be useful in teaching or introducing a lesson topic to students.
Here's my animoto clip that I made:

The animoto clip
would be a great way to introduce second graders to third graders to the
idea of equality. I would introduce it when Martin Luther King, Jr Day
has arrived and the video would be a great introduction to the lesson.
It would explain how the main idea behind Martin Luther King Jr Day is
how equality was strongly desired in the past and the importance behind
it. Students would be able to see through the pictures and drawings how
everyone is equal. It is a great social studies lesson and a great way
to introduce one of the important historical figures in America. In
Mayer and Moreno's "Animation is an Aid to Multimedia Learning," the
spatial contiguity principle explains how on-screen text next to
animation helps students learn better. In my animoto clip, there are
short texts next to images or on the image itself. It helps explains the
main idea behind the clip and allows children to understand and learn
better.
