Animated cartoon

An animated cartoon is a moving picture generated by photographing drawings frame-by-frame, as opposed to a normal movie, which is produced by shooting 24 frames a second of actual moving persons or objects.

Feature films

Although other full-length animated films had been produced before 1937, Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" is considered to be the first successful animated feature film. To date, Disney has produced 44 "Classic" hand-drawn animated features. It appears that no more will be produced, since the studio has closed all its facilities for this type of animation. They will, however, continue making computer-animated features.
