Message imparted by animated movie about cocaine trouble (9)
I believe the answer is:
voicemail
'message imparted' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'animated movie about cocaine trouble' is the wordplay.
'animated' indicates an anagram.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'cocaine' becomes 'C' (drugs abbreviation).
'trouble' becomes 'ail' (synonyms).
'movie' is an anagram of 'voiem'.
'voiem' placed around 'c' is 'voicem'.
'voicem'+'ail'='VOICEMAIL'
'by' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for voicemail that I've seen is " What's reached, when someone can't be reached!".)
