Animation

"We had to make these characters come to life. All you had to do was find a dictionary written by a man named Noah Webster, who about in 1845, wrote “animation: to invoke life.” You can’t say it any better than that." - Chuck Jones

Animation describes shows wherein the main images are created by hand, stop-motion, or computer.
