I tried to learn more and I understand animators have to draw each frame but do they draw every single movement that happens in a different frame? How do they record the drawings from paper to become an actual film. Do they draw the background/scenery the same time they draw the movements of the characters or are they drawn separately and tacked on?

Old technique is to draw the background separately and overlay moving parts (such as characters) on transparent sheets that can be moved around and replaced. You can even build a scene out of many movable details. When you are done constucting the frame, you take a photo of it. Hardcore but the most realistic way, like Disney did it, is to draw every frame of movement separately, it looks [like this](https://youtu.be/90LK0_vQq4g).
You can save time and effort by only replacing parts of the character (say, the face) and moving other parts around like a ragdoll but it’s noticeable and it’s a different visual style.
Digital 2D animation works kinda similar but it’s easier to organize layers and computer can aid you with organizing the movement for the animation. 3D animation is different in a lot of ways, you build a scene out of animated 3D models.
