How did the word cartoon come into development? And why do we have cartoons on TV but comics in the newspaper?

From the French carton, 'drawing', from the Italian cartone, 'pasteboard'. In English it became narrowed to humorous drawings, often with captions. It's probably a regional thing, but sometimes cartoons will be used for comics. There are also political cartoons for the (usually) single drawings on the editorial pages of many US newspapers. In my idiolect, cartoon refers to single panel comics; multipanel comics are comics, short for comic strips, where comic is acting adjectivally.

What do you use as a term to identify the animated movies like,Snow White, Fantasia, etc.

I guess I call them cartoons. There is the one
channel called "Cartoon Network", a Turner channel
I believe. And the newspapers editions I call 'comics'.
I'd say that pretty much describes what they are called
in this part of the country.
