| - Draw characters on blank paper and flip the pages, duh. But there's more to it than that. Ink the characters on elaminated paper and move them around on the page. Photograph every scene on a scanner. Print it out. Run the paper through a projection program. Later, add color on the computer. An Orchestra does the music for your cartoon. Write out a dilouge or script for your cartoon. Record the voices in a recording studio. Give it to a brodcasting company on disc and let them air it. You need to make a drawing of every individual frame. Depending how many frames per second you want. A high quality 30 frames per second cartoon, needs 30 drawings for every second. One cartoon alone will have sometimes thousands of frames, a movie can have even millions (a common 9 minute cartoon has 16,200 frames), which are usually drawn by many artists. Which is the reason why most cartoons require a big crew to do all the work. You need the artists, which can sometimes range between 25 and 50. You need the voices which can sometimes be up to 6 different people. You also need the music, if you have already recorded your own music then that's great, if not you will need a musician or an orchestra to do that for you. Overall is not an easy task that needs lots of people and lots of money to get it done. Look at the credits in the end of a cartoon like Spongebob for example, all those people worked to make sure those cartoons can get on the air.
