Explanation:

A restrictive clause refers to an adjective clause that essentially modifies the noun that comes before it in a sentence. A restrictive clause is necessary in a sentence for it to have a meaning because it puts a limitation on the thing it is making reference to in the sentence, Therefore, if a restrictive clause is removed from the sentence, the meaning of the sentence will change.

Relative pronouns who, whose, whom, or that is used to introduce restrictive clause in a sentence.

In the question, [that's an animated cartoon] is a restrictive clause which is introduced into the sentence by the relative pronoun "that".
