People draw the key scenes of what they want to animate, then trace over them on a sheet of large plastic, changing the image slightly each time so each frame is different, before inking and painting the sheet then taking a photo so the frame can be used in the reel of film.
This is how most cartoons are animated, although most of the scenes that aren't key scenes can now be done on a computer by other people to save time. Despite this, films animated this way can still take years to complete and hundreds of drawings are used.
Because CEL Based Animation takes so long, it means that feature length films that are created with this method are becoming rarer, with companies using 3D computer animation instead of drawing everything by hand on a sheet or digitally.
An example of CEL Based Animation is 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarves' by Disney-
Another example is 'Steamboat Willie', also by Disney-
