Animation
Animation is when you make something look like it is moving by quickly showing many pictures of the same thing in different positions. It is like when you flip through the pages of a book quickly and it looks like the character on the page is running! Animators draw each picture, one after another, and then they use a computer to play all of the pictures in a very quick sequence so that it looks like the pictures are moving.
