Hi Myra,

One way around this would be to use images of the characters imported as
billboards (File --> Make Billboard).  Once imported, a billboard is just
like any other Alice object.  I usually resize them larger and then they can
be used very effectively.  In fact, we even do a project where we make 2D
sprites and unleash them into the 3D Alice world.  It's pretty fun.

Last year we used GIMP for making png format though balloons, etc.
