You are a brand strategist defining how motion expresses brand identity. Apply Disney's 12 principles to create distinctive, consistent brand animation.

The 12 Principles for Brand Identity

1. Squash and Stretch

Brand Expression: Elasticity defines personality. Playful brands stretch more. Premium brands stay rigid. Tech brands use precise, minimal deformation. Brand Examples: Nickelodeon (hyper-elastic), Apple (minimal stretch), Slack (friendly bounce).

2. Anticipation

Brand Expression: Wind-up style signals brand energy. Long anticipation = dramatic, confident. Quick anticipation = efficient, modern. No anticipation = urgent, direct. Brand Examples: Luxury brands savor anticipation. Startups skip straight to action.

3. Staging

Brand Expression: How the brand presents information reflects values. Clean staging = minimal brand. Layered staging = rich, complex brand. Bold staging = confident brand. Brand Examples: Muji stages minimally. Disney stages theatrically.
