Limited animation is an animation process in which highly stylized figuration and depictions of motion are used in order to cut down on costs for overall production. As limited animations depart significantly from the laws governing reality, a certain amount of imagination is required on the part of the viewer. The relatively inexpensive animation techniques of limited animation have allowed countless animated shorts and television series to be produced. The techniques usually aim towards reducing the number of drawings required for an animated work. This is accomplished by reusing drawings, animating only a portion of a character's body, cleverly choosing camera angles and techniques, and by relying more on dialogue or other aural elements of the animation.
