Is there a different word that describes drawings and art in "cartoon" style, made for animation/illustration?

Question

The word cartoon evokes images of newspaper comics and amateurish drawings, possibly made by or for little kids. I'm looking for a synonym that describes more professional high quality art, think Disney/Pixar.
Alternatively, can you think of another related word that would be good to use in a name/logline of a website that teaches people how to professionally draw in Disney/Pixar style?

Oldbag · Answer

Disney/Pixar "style" is referred to in common parlance as "CGI" - as initial sketches are heavily processed by computer programs, While "cartoon" evokes images of more simplistic images, any artwork which emphasizes heavy outlines to designate form and contour is called "graphic". (US)
