I was wondering if the text files that when  you scrool down,  make an
animation type movement are really ascii animations?

It is the series of pictures that is the animation. The scrolling or
javascript or whatever is like a projector is to a normal film - just
the technology that is used to make the animation animate...

Yes, it's the series of images that make the animation, the scrolling or
javascript or other technology used to make them move is just that -
technology used to make them move. Just like a *film* is a roll of
plastic tape with images on it and a projector is the technology that is
used to make the images move.  :)
