The basic principle regarding the design of animated films depicting living beings is that it is forbidden, unless it serves a legitimate purpose, such as educating and entertaining children. This is conditional upon the films being free from impermissible elements, such as the depiction of 'awrat (private parts), or forbidden or blasphemous acts like carrying the cross or worshipping idols, even if presented for educational or representational purposes. It is obligatory to adhere to Islamic guidelines and not to expand beyond them to accommodate whims and desires.
