Skill Animators have to have a lot of skill with
art. They have to be able to put their drawing together with sound tracks. Sound tracks are like voices for characters. Animators also have put their drawing with story lines, layouts, and special effects.

Compare An animator and a cartoonist are a lot
alike but at the same time a lot different. An animator first draws his characters and some settings then continues on the computer. A cartoonist draws his characters and settings then puts them together and then you have like a comic strip. They are both the same though because you need to be talented in art to be either of those jobs.
