An animation database is a type of computer system that stores information about animated movies, television shows, and video games. It includes information like the names of characters, plot summaries, release dates, and more. The database makes it much easier to find information about a particular show or video game. The data stored in the database can be used to create new animated content, or it can be used to help people find the shows they are looking for. It's like a library where the books are all animated movies, television shows, and video games!
