'disney production' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'one from the top drawer?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'an' (an apple is one apple) and 'an' is present in the answer.
'from' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is located in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'possibly' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

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

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
