Animism and Shinto similarities and differences?

Just wondering, what are some similarities and differences that the Animism and Shinto religions share?

I lack experience in those two thought structures. Animism is about vitality, i think. If I'm wrong, tell me, but don't bother criticizing me.

They are both abominations before God and Jesus.

Actually, Shintoism can be considered a form of animism.

Animism is basically a broad term which encompasses beliefs systems that believe everything has a soul - everything is 'animated'.

In Shintoism, every mountain, every forest, every river - as well as the sun, the moon and the stars - have their own spirit or god.

You see?
