An animated series is a type of television program that uses animation techniques to create moving images. These series can be aimed at children or adults and often feature colorful characters and imaginative storylines. They can be produced in various styles, including traditional hand-drawn animation, computer-generated imagery (CGI), and stop-motion. Many animated series are based on original concepts, while others adapt existing stories from books, comics, or video games. Popular examples include The Simpsons, SpongeBob SquarePants, and Avatar: The Last Airbender. Animated series can entertain, educate, and explore complex themes in a visually engaging way.
