Cartoons and anime are both forms of animation, but the Japanese call it anime and the Western world calls theirs cartoons. In Japan, you would hardly hear anyone call anime cartoons. And in Cantonese/Chinese, we call anime 'Yup Bune Car Tong Pin'(it should sound something like that), which translates to cartoons from Japan. So maybe the difference is in the country.
