Disadvantages :

1. Limited background and sky . There are just few numbers of backgrounds and skies that students can choose. The backgrounds and skies available may not suitable for students' dialogue. This may demotivate students to create their own moviemaker.

2. Several characters are inappropriate for the students. For  example, there is a character of topless man which is not suitable for students. There is also the character of a cowboy girl with inappropriate dress code.

3. Limited dialogue. Each character is only limited to three exchanges.

4. Could not add tour own voice. In my opinion, this moviemaker would be more interesting if students can add on their voice to the characters.

5. Limited movie title design. There are just four movie title designs for students to choose.
