Note
Only the countable uses of animation take a plural. Animations are individual pieces of work, such as short films, the motion sequences on a phone screen or the cartoons in a game. At a holiday resort, they are the separate games, shows and events on offer. When the word names the craft as a whole or a person's liveliness, it is a mass noun instead: a career in animation, a face full of animation.
