Animated production with scintillating effects (8)
I believe the answer is:
diamante
'scintillating effects' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'animated production' is the wordplay.
'production' indicates anagramming the letters.
'animated' is an anagram of 'DIAMANTE'.
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for diamante that I've seen before include "Small garden erection" , "Decorated with glass to imitate gems" , "Glittering fabric or costume jewellery" , "With cut glass resembling gems" , "Decorated with glass cut to resemble diamonds" .)
