anime (Q1107) was marked as subclass of animated film (Q202866), but a few days ago I removed it because most anime are television series. Now you made it a subclass of animated cartoon (Q20535815), which makes sense. Unfortunately, animated cartoon (Q20535815) was also wrongly marked as subclass of animated film (Q202866) (an animated television series is an animated cartoon but not a film). I removed it from there too, so now animated cartoon (Q20535815) has no superclasses. Maybe it should be a subclass of work of art (Q838948), audiovisual work (Q2431196), creative work (Q17537576), just like film (Q11424). What do you think? ~~~~

{{Ping|Mushroom}}, I don't know about exact English meaning of "animated film" but as for Russian label statement animated cartoon (Q20535815) invalid IDen (P) animated film (Q202866) is correct.

In English, Italian, French and Spanish, and possibly other languages, animated cartoon (Q20535815) includes every animated work, while animated film (Q202866) refers specifically to animated films shown in a movie theater and excludes other works such as television series. So animated cartoon (Q20535815) has a broader meaning and cannot be subclass of animated film (Q202866) in those languages. If the Russian sitelink ru:Мультфильм includes every animated work then its meaning is more similar to animated cartoon (Q20535815) and it should be moved there. In any case it doesn't make sense for animated cartoon (Q20535815) to be subclass of animated film (Q202866).

@Mushroom: Actually I discovered your change because suddenly anime wasn't a subclass of "work" and that generated constraints violations on several properties about works and fiction. I would say that yes, an animated cartoon is work of art (Q838948), audiovisual work (Q2431196) and creative work (Q17537576). It would be better than nothing, at least, and true, if not terribly precise.

Good, thank you! I originally discovered the problem because I was looking for films on AutoList and kept getting anime series among the results. I'm thinking maybe animated cartoon (Q20535815) should also be subclass of cartoon (Q627603) (which is subclass of drawing (Q93184)).

Thanks for the Flow tips! I'll get used to it :)
