Button & CTA Animation Principles
Apply Disney's 12 principles to create buttons that feel alive and responsive.
Principles Applied to Buttons
1. Squash & Stretch
Scale buttons slightly on press: transform: scale(0.95) on :active, return to scale(1) on release. Creates tactile feedback.
2. Anticipation
Subtle hover lift before click: transform: translateY(-2px) prepares users for the action.
3. Staging
Primary CTAs should be visually prominent. Use size, color contrast, and whitespace. Animate primary buttons more boldly than secondary.
4. Straight Ahead & Pose to Pose
Use pose-to-pose for button states: define clear keyframes for default, hover, active, and disabled states.
5. Follow Through & Overlapping Action
