Definition of limited animation and its examples

Limited animation is a process of making animated cartoons that do not follow a "realistic" approach. Limited animation creates an image that uses abstract art, symbolism, and limited movement to create the same effect that full animation does, but at a much lower cost. This style of animation depends more upon suspension of disbelief to tell a story.It also encourages the animators to indulge in artistic styles that are not necessarily bound to the limits of the real world.
