A cartoon is a movie or TV show created by photographing a series of drawings or models instead of using real people or objects. In this type of animation, characters and scenes are illustrated in a stylized manner, and each frame is slightly different from the last. When these frames are played in sequence, they create the illusion of movement and action. Cartoons often focus on entertaining stories and can vary in style and complexity.
