Animation industry has a limitless scope for those who love to create magic. In India, the animation industry is on the path to expanding to experience boom. This boom is further going to grow by the outsourcing of animation project work by Disney and other animation giants to India. Sometimes we don’t understand and mix up the concept of animation with cartoons. A cartoon merely is a drawing of characters with some distinct features. On the other hand, the animation is the art of breathing life into these characters.
