Simulacrum
Noun. An image or representation of someone or something. An unsatisfactory imitation or substitute. (pural Simulacra) "The use of animation can dilute the implications of meaning - after all, this the artifice of drawings, puppets, objects, virtual simulacra, etc. - or it can amplify it - the illusion providing exaggeration and fabricated emphasis, throwing the ideas and issues into relief." Definitions from Oxford Dictionaries Online Oxford Dictionaries. Web. 14 May 2012. <http://oxforddictionaries.com/>. Wells, Paul. The Animated Bestiary: Animals, Cartoons, and Culture.
