Can you believe that Fixies are Such itty-bitty creatures?

Adverbs of degree

Even when they're magnified It's hard to see their features.

They're tiny, infinitesimal,  So small it makes you doubt.

But if you meet a Fixie, please, Don't let their secret out!

Yeah! Show us your surprise and quit drawing!

It's just like a cartoon that you drew on there!

Real cartoons? They only show them on television.

Animation is made with many-many pictures called frames.

Each one of the frames is a little bit different from the one that comes right before it.

For example, a character can lift his arm up a little bit at a time.

And then, if you watch the frames very quickly one right after the other,

it looks like the character is really moving.

And you know what, to make one minute of a cartoon

you might have to draw more than a thousand frames!

It's no big deal that your cartoon is short.

Tom Thomas, who is this kooky guy you drew here?

Did you already forget what happen to you this morning?

Simka! You didn't have to tell him about that!

Real sisters don't treat their brothers like that!

It's OK, he just needs to sulk for a while.

While he's gone there's something I wanna show you.

Do you have a cartoon you can put on the TV?

but now I wanna show you the same cartoon a frame at a time.

There are many different ways of making animation.

Hand-drawn-animation is, of course, drawn by hand.

The animators pose the model and take a picture of it.

Then they move the model a little bit and take another picture.

And they do it again, and again, and again,

until there are enough frames to make the characters

look like they're moving very smoothly across the screen.

Another popular style of animation is clay animation.

In these films everything is built and rebuilt out of modeling clay.

But today most of the cartoons are made on a computer.

At first they make a computer model of a character,

After the models are built there're colored and animated to move.

This is the kind of animation that's used in The Fixies cartoons!

So what did you do now? Put a huge bump on my head?
