"Snow White" is usually referred to as an animated film or program ... or simply animation.
Both expressions are OK. The essentially mean the same thing, but most English speakers will shorten the phrasing if they can!!

1. Is "Snow White" on TV an animation program or an animated program?
2. This is a chef. He made a delicious food for his father. On the right side, there are various fruits. On the left side we can see food made of fruit. In the middle of the picture, there is a delicious food which the chef made for his father. (Picture description)
(Would you check the passage? Do I have to use 'fruit' or 'fruits'? Do I have to use 'a' before 'adjective + fruit'?)

This is fine.
2. This is a chef. He made delicious food for his father. On the right side, there are various types of fruit. On the left side<~~add comma we can see food made of fruit. In the middle of the picture, there is a delicious dish which the chef made for his father.
The normal word is "fruit" which is a type of collective noun. And no, you wouldn't normally use "a" in front of "fruit." You might say, "She asked for some fruit." or "He wanted a different type of fruit." or "Bananas are a type of fruit."
