a fun debate! A cartoon is the american term usually. it has a connotation of being for children for the most part. cartoons are one area of animation, which includes claymation, computer animation, and typical cels 'n paint. animation is just taking a series of still frames and viewing them in a fast enough sequence that it depicts motion. hope this helps, jonathon ------------------------------------------------------------------- Dakedo Oh!
