Animated Anthology Films
Animation is a method by which still figures are manipulated to appear as moving images. In traditional animation, images are drawn or painted by hand on transparent celluloid sheets to be photographed and exhibited on film. Today, most animations are made with computer-generated imagery (CGI). Computer animation can be very detailed 3D animation, while 2D computer animation (which may have the look of traditional animation) can be used for stylistic reasons, low bandwidth, or faster real-time renderings. Other common animation methods apply a stop motion technique to two- and three-dimensional objects like paper cutouts, puppets, or clay figures. A cartoon is an animated film, usually a short film, featuring an exaggerated visual style. The style takes inspiration from comic strips, often featuring anthropomorphic animals, superheroes, or the adventures of human protagonists. Especially with animals that form a natural predator/prey relationship (e.g. cats and mice ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

List Of Package Films
This is a list of animated package films. There are two types of package films — a film with little or no new animation; usually there is only new bridge animation to link older theatrical/TV shorts together, for example ''Daffy Duck's Quackbusters''. The other type has all-new animation and might not always feature bridge animation. ''Melody Time'' doesn't feature bridge animation, but ''The Three Caballeros'' does. Home video releases of older theatrical and TV shorts or TV series are usually released as compilations and might therefore be thought of as packaged, but are usually not considered as such.
