What is "animation"?

Animation is a type of art that creates the illusion of movement by displaying a series of images. These images can be hand-drawn, computer-generated, or created using other techniques. When shown quickly one after another, they seem like they are moving, bringing characters and scenes to life. Animation is used in movies, television shows, video games, and various forms of digital media to tell stories, express ideas, and entertain audiences.
