Questions to ask yourself before beginning a career in animation

Animation appeases children the most, but it is not at all a child’s play. It takes months to draw the intricacies behind each character and then more time to make those characters perform actions. And it’s not just about cartoon; animation is used to shoot high octane scenes in action films among others.
