Also, I reproduced Dutch shed as a cartoon (8)
I believe the answer is:
animated
'a cartoon' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'also i reproduced dutch shed' is the wordplay.
'also' becomes 'and' (both can mean in addition).
'reproduced' becomes 'mated'.
'dutch' becomes 'd' (common abbreviation).
'shed' is a deletion indicator ('shed' as in 'cut away').
'and'+'i'+'mated'='andimated'
'andimated' with 'd' taken out is 'ANIMATED'.
'as' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for animated that I've seen before include "full of spirit" , "'Lively, quick (8)'" , "Fired" , "Vivacious in diamante" , "Interesting and lively - as a cartoon film is" .)
