RocketToons

RocketToons launched on JVZoo today, from Tim Verdough. It is a cartoon-focused AI video generator, and I'd already spent time with it before filming. I'll be upfront: the quality is the highest I've seen from an AI video creator so far.

A couple of weeks ago I looked at Tube OS X, which was also high quality but made a few too many mistakes. RocketToons feels like a step up, though it has one catch I'll get to.

The first result: how bees make honey

I started with a finished project so you could judge the output. It was a 60-second explainer on how bees make honey, built from a prompt I pasted in.

The project screen shows your script, settings, the cast the software created, and all the scenes. You can drag and drop, and you can choose all images or all videos. The layout is a bit funny, and getting out of some screens felt weird at first.

The video looked great. Then the voiceover said "image 1" in the middle of a sentence. That text isn't in my script. I regenerated the scene, got a new version, and it still said it. I don't know how to control that.

Credits: the real cost

I started with 3,000 credits, and that 60-second video used about 280. Videos cost more than images. This uses the best generators available, not cheap AI, so you will burn through credits and have to buy more if you take a channel seriously.

Building a second video from scratch

For my bonus, I built a tool called Done For You Cartoon Video Prompts. You can search, favorite and export prompts, and change the length. I picked one on how the heart pumps blood and set it to 30 seconds in 9 by 16.

In RocketToons, I chose the explainer skill and the action anime style. You need a cast before you can start, so I typed a character description and hit draw. It took roughly 30 to 45 seconds and the character looked good.

I pasted the prompt, used enhance prompt so the software would clean it up, and hit generate. It created the extra characters and objects, in this case the heart, Captain Pulse and Ruby, then wrote the screenplay before making any visuals.

You can pick images only to save credits, but I chose videos. I also composed music from a suggested prompt. Then it's one click on Make the Film, and it builds the video scene by scene. It is extremely straightforward.

The result and the same bug

The heart video was good quality, but a weird image thing showed up, and the voice said "image 1" again. That is twice now, even with an enhanced prompt. I'm going to message Tim and show him so it gets fixed.

Editor, scheduler and integrations

Beyond generation, there is a media library, subjects for characters, places and things, and a full timeline editor. There is also a scheduler with a calendar and post queue, plus integrations to publish to LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. Connectors for Claude, GPT, Cursor and MCP agents are there too.

The funnel

The front end is $37, and the funnel has upgrades plus a $317 bundle. I'm on Pro, which raises the image and video engines. On the front end you get 720p, which I think is fine for Shorts, TikTok or Reels. 1080p matters more for long-form 16 by 9 videos.

The 40 voices sound great, but I didn't see a way to upload your own.

My verdict

I didn't give a numeric rating, but my take is clear: this is a solid, very high-quality tool. Other than the "image 1" glitch that happened twice, the videos were some of the best AI video I've made. Budget for credits, and expect the glitch to be fixed over time. If you want faceless cartoon explainers, it's worth a serious look.
