Answer:
there’s a lot of animation in the video marketplace. All the industries you cite are part of the bigger motion picture/video production industries. Animation plays a vital role across the board for too many reasons to list. Without knowing what your definition of animation is, it’s hard to write about what you are asking. That said, the industries you’re listing are all part of the same industry. If you watch news, you see animations all the time. Backgrounds, lower third supers that move…that’s all animation. Even in theatrical movies, it’s all over…you may not recognize it as animation, but it surely is. Not all animation needs to look like Looney Tunes, even if that would be nice.
