I dont think you can animate youtube thumbnail's, unless youtube just recently added it?

If you're looking for vlogging thumbnails or other thumbnails, I made a tutorial a couple of months ago, check it out > https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=4745219
Have no idea about animated stuff though.

Do you mean like your profile picture?

Channels banners are now animatable (GIF ONLY),
Avatars aren't, it's now linked to your google page.
For the Thumbnails, there are not animatable either

Are you talking about the video thumbnail or an animated watermark on the video?
Link us an example, I'm kinda confused.

You can only make animated YT-Banner, no Thumbnails.

He is talking about "Cartoon-Style"-VideoThumbnails!

I am pretty sure he is talking about cartoon styled thumbnails. Which if you get Topaz labs as a plugin for photoshop there are great effects you can apply that have cartoon presets and if you play with them to get them right you can get it almost to the perfect cartoon style. Otherwise in illustrator turn it into a vector which can be tricky sometimes.
