Comfort & Safety Animation
Create animations that reassure, protect, and make users feel secure.
Emotional Goal
Comfort comes from predictable, gentle motion that never startles. Safety means animations that communicate protection, stability, and user control.
Disney Principles for Comfort
Squash & Stretch
Minimal, soft (5-10%). Gentle give without instability. Like a cushion—absorbs impact, maintains structure.
Anticipation
Clear, reassuring preparation (150-200ms). Users always know what's coming. No surprises, no hidden actions.
Staging
Enclosed, protected compositions. Clear boundaries. Safe spaces. Visual hierarchy that guides without overwhelming.
