Frames per second in an animation

For my animated short story, due to a limited amount of time, I will only be able to have around 6-8 frames per second. However for different types of animation there are different amounts of frames. For standard quality TV animation there are 15 frames per second and for high quality TV animation or low quality cinematic animation there are 24 frames per second. High quality cinematic animations include anything from 30 frames per second. The more frames that there are per second, the better the quality of the animation and the smoother the movements. Animations which have a lower frame rate, can jump around a bit more and appear not to be as smooth. An example of this would be the animation Roobarb and Custard which was completed on around 8 frames per second. In contrast to this Walt Disney films can be anything from 30 frames per second.
