A nominated actor remade film without any actors! (8,7)

I believe the answer is:

animated cartoon

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'film without any actors' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'a nominated actor remade' is the wordplay.
'remade' indicates an anagram.
'nominated'+'actor'='nominatedactor'
'nominatedactor' with letters rearranged gives 'nimatedcartoon'.
'a'+'nimatedcartoon'='ANIMATED CARTOON'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for animated cartoon that I've seen before include "Sleeping Beauty, perhaps" , "Film" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
