dessins animés: animated drawing
so then, do the French have a word that means "Japanese animation"? just curious.
we also use "Anime" for japanese animation (but also sometimes other stuff... for example, we have some french "Anime", and "Jayce" and "mask" - the series with transforming cars - are considered as Anime...)
Anime means more "watchable by an otaku" than japanese animation (but it's close in fact)
