Animation refers to the process in which each frame of a film or movie is produced individually, whether generated as a computer graphic, or by photographing a drawn image, or by repeatedly making small changes to a model (see claymation and stop motion), and then photographing the result. When the frames are strung together and the resulting film is viewed at a speed of 16 or more frames per second, there is an illusion of continuous movement (due to the persistence of vision). Generating such a film is very labour intensive and tedious, though the development of computer animation has greatly sped up the process.
Limited animation is a way of increasing production and decreasing costs of animation by using "short cuts" in the animation process.
Anime is the common term used for Japanese Animation; the older term "Japanimation" has fallen out of favor.
Animated films with synchronized sound tracks began to be produced in the USA in the mid 1920s.
