As animation is completely free of the constraints of gravity, momentum, and physical reality, it is an ideal technique for science fiction and fantasy on television. In a sense, virtually all animated series allow characters and objects to perform in unrealistic ways, so they are almost all considered to fit within the broadest category of [[speculative fiction]] (in the context of awards, criticism, marketing, etc.) The artistic affinity of animation to [[comic books]] has led to a large amount of [[superhero]]-themed animation, much of this adapted from comics series, while the impossible characters and settings allowed in animation made this a preferred medium for both [[fantasy]] and for series aimed at young audiences.

Originally, animation was all hand-drawn by artists, though in the 1980s, beginning with ''[[Captain Power]]'', computers began to automate the task of creating repeated images; by the 1990s, hand-drawn animation became defunct.
