Animation is the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2-D or 3-D artwork or model positions in order to create an illusion of movement. It is an optical illusion of motion due to the phenomenon of persistence of vision, and can be created and demonstrated in a number of ways. The most common method of presenting animation is as a motion picture or video program, although several other forms of presenting animation also exist.

What are the greatest strengths of animation as compared to live action?
Q. What does animation do best? If you wanted to tell a story in an audiovisual medium, why would you choose to animate it? I suspect that animation's greatest strengths lie in speculative fiction. Look at some of the most influential anime series ever, like Yamato, Gundam, Macross, and Evangelion. Or look at one of the most acclaimed non-comedy American cartoons, Avatar. Any of these in live action would be prohibitively expensive, and might not work as well anyway.

A. Animation can push the bounds and do whatever the heck it wants without us overly questioning it. Live action can only go so far in the realm of reality. If they try to have someone fly, it's hard to believe because we know it doesn't happen. They can only take things so far before people get critical and questioning. That's why animation is superior. They can honestly get away with anything, as long as they know what they are doing. The only issue is when they draw something like... a chase scene, and have cars doing things that cars don't do. Still can get away with it, but if we know it's a normal car, then it gets suspicious.
