According to the Oxford Dictionary, Animation is “the technique of photographing successive drawings or positions of puppets or models to create an illusion of movement when the film is shown as a sequence.” It also defines computer animation as “the manipulation of electronic images by means of a computer in order to create moving images.” On the other hand, VFX refers to the processes by which imagery is created and/or manipulated outside the context of a live action shot and VFX courses teach you all the fine details.

 So ultimately this is the differentiator: Animation is a medium of storytelling while VFX is an ingredient used to create visual magic to enhance the story. VFX is not a medium of storytelling. It is a masala that needs to go with every film like music/sound. In some films, the VFX part is not visible because it is so well done, but the fact of the matter is that today there can be no film without VFX; it has become a necessity. While using animation, a story is entirely created from imagination. VFX cannot stand alone without a base of live action/animation footage.
