सजीव चित्र / सजीव व्यंग्यचित्र/ एनिमेशन


Explanation:
Animation is a gift of modern world. It is cartoon with motion. Cartoon or व्यंग्यचित्र is known in India from the past. But 'animation' is not. So we can retain the word as एनिमेशन. But if we take hindi terms, we can say it सजीव चित्र or सजीव व्यंग्यचित्र.

चित्र सजीवन


Explanation:
I think we can say it like this, because animation means a set of pictures simulating movement when played in series.
Or we can say that It is an optical illusion of motion due to the phenomenon of persistence of vision.
In simple words presenting the pictures like lively things.
So this word can suit to the purpose.

--------------------------------------------------

This phrase distinguishes it from motion picture as well as from cartoon(static). persistence of vision is common to both cine and anime. It can be correctly defined as ' looking alive cartoons in motion /action.

Example sentence(s):
  • vyangya chitra sanjeevan ek adbhut kala hai.

disagree  Ruchi Agarwal: If you call it व्यंग्य चित्र सजीवन then what do you call to the famous animated movie Hanumaan, as that is for kids but not comedy.
