full animation
Every frame drawn
Full animation is a style of animation using detailed, fluid movement with high frame rates—typically 12 to 24 drawings per second.
It contrasts with limited animation, which cuts costs by reducing the number of drawings and reusing frames.
Disney's classic films exemplify full animation: characters move smoothly with expressive gestures and realistic physics.
The studio returned to full animation for its theatrical release.
