Disney Principles 7a - How Would You Anticipate This Action?

Bugs has to grab Elmer's gun.

NO ANTIC AT ALL

My point is that anticipations are overused in a lot of animation. You don't always need to antic every move and there are lots of different ways to get from point A to Point B. I think controlled imagination (using your imagination and knowledge to customize every move) is more interesting and natural than resorting to formula.


BTW, all the frame grabs and clips I put up from old cartoons have great drawings to copy and study.
