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.

Television

The term "Illustrated radio" became a popular moniker for the ubiquitous "Saturday morning cartoon", i.e. animated TV programs for children. The animation in such shows is often very simple, due to economical constraints. However, some studios endeavour to produce high-quality programming despite the limited budgets available.
