You mean "animated"?  (Even computer generated
animation is still animation.  Although I have heard
about completely computer-generated - animation,
vocals, and script - shows.  The fruits so far have
been lame enough that no one's been showing them off,
though.  There have been efforts with one person
directing the computer through everything, even basing
the vocals off modulations of the author's own voice,
but those are commonly taken to speak more to the
director's talent than to the state of the tools.)
