animated films

Movies without actors

Animated films are movies created by photographing a sequence of drawings, models, or computer-generated images to produce the illusion of movement.

The category spans hand-drawn classics, stop-motion puppetry, and modern CGI blockbusters.

We took the kids to see the new animated film.

Distinguished from live-action filmmaking, though the two are often combined.
