animation

animation
(and animator, animated films)
  a form or process of filmmaking in which inanimate, static objects or individual drawings (hand-drawn or CGI) are filmed "frame by frame" or one frame at a time (opposed to being shot "live"), each one differing slightly from the previous frame, to create the illusion of motion in a sequence, as opposed to filming naturally-occurring action or live objects at a regular frame rate. Often used as a synonym for cartoons (or toons for short), although animation includes other media such as claymation, computer animation; see also CGI, claymation, stop-motion, time lapse.
  A still from Disney's full-length animated feature film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937).
  Also the hand-drawn colorful laser-beams in the Star Wars films.
