Multimedia is media and content that is a combination of multi forms. Multimedia can have a combination of text, audio, still images, animation, video, footage and interactivity .

Multimedia refers to content that uses a combination of different content forms. This contrasts with media that use only rudimentary computer displays such as text-only or traditional forms of printed or hand-produced material. Multimedia includes a combination of text, audio, still images, animation, video, or interactivity content forms.
Multimedia is usually recorded and played, displayed, or accessed by information content processing devices, such as computerized and electronic devices, but can also be part of a live performance. Multimedia devices are electronic media devices used to store and experience multimedia content. Multimedia is distinguished from mixed media in fine art; by including audio, for example, it has a broader scope. The term "rich media" is synonymous for interactive multimedia. Hypermedia can be considered one particular multimedia application.
Animation is the process of creating a continuous motion and shape change illusion by means of the rapid display of sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animations can be recorded on either analogue media, such as a flip book, motion picture film, video tape, or on digital media, including formats such as animated GIF, Flash animation or digital video. To display it, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used.
When you say "multi-media" is refers to the combination or collective use of text, audio and visual content. Similarly, when you combine these 'mediums' together to create an engaging experience where the audience or user can interact with the collective mediums its called "multimedia".

A beginning, climax and an ending which isdefinition of a story arc or basic TV plot.
Technically, animation falls under the medium video.
