anime film
Animated Japanese movie
An anime film is a feature-length animated movie produced in Japan or in the distinctive Japanese animation style, characterized by vivid artwork, fantastical themes, and stylized characters.
Unlike anime series released as episodes, anime films are standalone theatrical releases or direct-to-video features: We watched a Studio Ghibli anime film last night.
The term distinguishes these works from Western animation traditions.
