The more general term computer generated imagery encompasses both static scenes and dynamic images, while computer animation only refers to moving images. Modern computer animation usually uses , although 2D computer graphics are still used for stylistic, low bandwidth, and faster real-time renderings. Sometimes the target of the animation is the computer itself, but sometimes the target is another medium, such as film. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_animation)

. Is a subset of both computer graphics and animation technologies. It is the creation of moving images (animation) using computer technology. Computer animation is broken down into two categories. Computer-generated animation where the animation is designed solely on the computer system using animation and 3D graphics software, and computer-assisted animation where traditional animations are computerized. (http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/C/computer_animation.html)

. "The creation of moving images especially of cartoons or special effects with the aid of a computer, as for television or motion pictures. Moving images that are controlled by or viewed with the aid of a computer." (The new international Webster’s pocket computer dictionary.)
