Now this depends on which definition of Anime you're referring too... In Japan, 'Anime' is just the shortened form of he English Word 'Animation', pronounced and written to fit the local phonetic alphabet...
Among serious Otaku fans in the US, the term 'Anime' refers to Animation produced and targeted for a Japanese audience, (which rules out all three cartoons, which are written for a US audience)
