Quoted from Don Hertzfeldt's "The Animation Show", it is the frame by frame photographic process in which the illusion of movement is created. In otherwords, its a bunch of still images in sequence that if played like a flip book, something is moving.

Animation is created using a few different methods such as 2D and 3D animation, Claymation, Stopmotion, and Flash, but all animation

2D and 3D in a large way are different with some similarities. 2D animation is created either in pencil and paper, or flash. traditianally pencil and paper.

They start out with an animatic, or some way to to time the animation's key poses. This helps things keep more realistic in movement, and it helps with things like syncing the characters mouths to the lines recorded from voice actors, time the movements to music (like fantasia), and time the anticipation between actions. After you got your animatic done, you can start animating. You need to know the frame rate you are going at, such as 12 fps or 24 fps.

Then you must set up your key poses according to your animatic. Then you add the in between drawings to make the character go from one pose to the next. This is done according to priority. First the animator must do the primary action, or the main action of the character. Then the secondary action, such as clothing, hair, etc.

Then when you move onto coloring, you must know how to color it to produce a mood and feel of the scene, cool colors for sadness, bright colors for happiness, and dark colors for anger or evil.

Then it is time to put the movie into final production by adding the sound and doing final adjustments and compositing it adding special effects, etc.
