"Animation in the animator's sense, exists independently from color, scenic, backgrounds, sound effects and even dialogue. It even exists without a camera. If you can take a sheaf of a hundred or so drawing and by flipping it achieve the action of life your are striving for then you are an animator. If you primarily use other means: color, sound, cutting, then you are something else. You may be working in the animation field but you are not a animator."
