It can be an adjective or a verb.

The pronunciations are different.

As a verb, the "a" in the last syllable is long, as in 'cake'.

As an adjective, the "a" in the last syllable is a schwa as in 'cup'.

The puppeteer animated the puppets. (verb form, past tense)

We know that puppets are not really animate. (adjective form)
