'''Animation''' is a [[Media|medium]] that takes a 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, otherwise they'd be [[Video Games|computer games]]), [[Stop Motion]] with clay or such, [[Pixilation]] 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]].
