The requirements of Notability, neutrality, and no original research:
Notability is one of the core principles in editing Wikipedia, and it refers to “why this?”. Thus, the resources will be focused not only on the keyword “slim” but also on an expansion, such as “obesity in the contemporary world,” “animation production,” in a manner that those are related to the Wiki projects. The reliability of the sources should be able to check, and the accuracy can be determined, whereby my article uses several reliable references to illustrate in a balanced view without any bias, which is trustable and reputable.

For instance, the design of characters in short, “the categories of animated genres” (Selby, 2013). The most useful information which will be used in my Wikipedia Requested Article is “the distribution and market production” after Slimetime is presenting (Winder, Dowlatabadi, & Miller-Zarneke, 2011). Therefore, it can be used to give a view of the official website in the external links section as well. This shows the reliability of broad groups of post-produced animation.
