Explanation:

A restrictive clause refers to an adjective clause that essentially modifies the noun that comes before it in a sentence.

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". It modifies "a movie" which is the noun that preceded it by putting a limit on the noun. The meaning of the sentence will therefore change if [that's an animated cartoon] is removed from the sentence.
