animated series
Moving illustrated program
An animated series is a television show produced through animation rather than live-action filming, with episodes released in sequence over one or more seasons.
The term covers everything from Saturday morning cartoons to adult comedies like The Simpsons to Japanese anime.
Unlike animated films, a series develops characters and storylines across multiple episodes.
