Cartoons

Cartoons
There are a range of types or cartoons.
They are normally a 2D style of drawing or painting.
Their intent is either satire, caricature or humour.

Animation 
This uses a sequence of still images or positions of still objects to produce the illusion of movement when shown one after the other quickly.

In this example, the bouncing ball animation is created using the 6 still pictures shown.
