I'm creating a very simply insect out of cardboard, so basically different planes.

At one point in the animation something touches one of the planes and everything is supposed to fall down. I'm not going to animate every single plane because that won't look realistic and i don't have the time. I've never done this before so what do you suggest, something efficient.

Reactor?... never used it


Thanx

Reactor is the way to go and pretty simple to set up. Just read a tutorial and mess with it a bit.

Also, you should consider giving the cardboard some thickness, or it will disappear when viewed on edge. I think it's something like 3/16th of an inch thick?
