Cel Animation

Cel Animation

Another traditional 2D animation technique is cel animation. Cel animation is a type of animation that is used in the production of cartoons or animated movies where each frame of the scene is drawn by hand. A full-length feature film produced using cel animation would often require a million or more drawings to complete. Some examples of cel animated films and cartoons are Toy Story, Looney Tunes, The Simpsons and many more greats like these.
