'''Animation''' is a [[Media|medium]] that takes movinga series of pictures with very slight difference from one to another, and plays them in rapid succession, giving you the illusion of a moving picture. This is what [[Television]] and [[Film]] do too, but when we talk about them here at [[{{SITENAME}}]], we generally mean works that are mostly created images rather than captured images. Even this definition becomes fuzzy, with [[CGI]] scenes and [[Post Processing Video Effects]], but it mostly falls into categories including hand-drawn cels, computer-drawn stories (mostly non-interactive, elseotherwise they'd be [[Video Games|computer games]]), [[Stop Motion]] with clay or such, [[Pixilation]] or [[Rotoscoping]] with live actors, or some mixture thereof.

One of the things that determines whether something is animation is the usage of [[Animation Tropes]]. Animation is frequently accompanied by [[Voice Actors]] adding sound to the characters -- though they too may one day lose their jobs to robots through the likes of [[Vocaloid]]s.

We have a section on the [[History of Animation]].
 
On this site we tend to group animation by its region of origin. Japanese animation is called [[Anime]], alongand withSouth otherKorean animation is called [[Aeni]]. Other Western Pacific Rim culturesanimation is listed here under [[:Category:Asian Animation]]. We have [[Eastern European Animation]] from the old Soviet Bloc. And [[Western Animation]] represents much of the rest of the world, including Europe, Australia, and the Americas.
