“I will always consider Pinocchio to be the finest cartoon ever made. Such a useful little boy, with a unique little nose that grows! I could think of some lies he could tell me! And that Gepetto looks good with silver hair - like a fox. A silver fox.”
~ Oscar Wilde on cartoons
A cartoon is a similar to a motion-picture film, except that instead of photographing reality and then moving the photographs at a speed that mimics movement, a cartoon photographs drawings and then moves them at a speed that mimics movement. It is therefore easy to reach the conclusion that cartoons are identical to reality itself. Special cartoon relativity theory holds that cartoons may in fact be more real than reality, and thus hold more truth than politics, religion, war, and almost as real as sex.
[edit] What's Up, Doc?
A cartoon is like a comic strip that moves. This does not mean you can take Family Circus, waggle it around, and call it a cartoon. In this case, you would call it (as in all cases) "mindless drivel".
To cut money, cartoons are usually shot on location in Toontown. There are actually many Toontowns, but the most popular are in Los Angeles and Tokyo. The term "Toontown" is not to be confused with the large town of Newcastle in Northern England, the home of many a toon fan.
[edit] Controversy
Sometimes kids programmes are made using stop-motion animation. This is not a cartoon. This is simply boring.
They are are also sometimes known as toons, which is snoot backwards, which can sometimes be confused with snot.
