nonanimated
Lacking apparent life
Nonanimated describes something that lacks animation—either literally not alive or, more commonly, not created through animation techniques.
The term appears most often in media contexts to distinguish live-action or static content from animated works: The studio's nonanimated films performed better at the box office.
Less frequently, it describes objects without life or motion.
