Bauhaus Software Mirage

I've been thinking about doing my thesis here at school using this software. I've done a few quick tests and it looks to be very versatile. I'm wondering how far I can take it. The sample animations they've got on their site are good but not the sort of thing I'm going to be attempting. I want to emulate/imitate the look of old Felix/Bimbo cartoons... Mirage seems like a quick and easy way to lay out the initial movement if nothing else... but if I could keep it all in one place, one computer... just a few programs... that would be ideal.
