"Animation still works like live-action, of
course, with the illusion of smooth and continuous movement achieved through
the projection of separate images at such a speed that the gaps between them
become imperceptible to the ‘naked’ eye. Animation, however, incorporates the
smallest of cinematic units – the frame – into the tangible process of production."
