How it's used
Refers specifically to animated films or series, regardless of whether they are hand-drawn or computer-generated. It is common to hear people use the loanword 卡通, but that term often implies a more childish or simplistic style, whereas 動畫 is the standard term for the medium as a whole.

Common mistake
Avoid using 卡通 for mature or high-budget animated films, as it can sound dismissive or imply the content is strictly for very young children.
