animated cartoons
Drawn motion pictures
Animated cartoons are films or videos created by photographing a sequence of drawings, puppets, or computer-generated images that produce the illusion of movement when played in rapid succession.
The term distinguishes motion-picture animation from static comic strips or single-panel cartoons: Saturday morning animated cartoons, Disney's early animated cartoons.
