Hover Interaction Animations

Apply Disney's 12 principles to mouse hover states.

Principle Application

Squash & Stretch: Cards can subtly scale (1.02-1.05) on hover, creating "lift" effect.

Anticipation: Hover IS anticipation for click. The hover state previews the interaction.

Staging: Hover effects should highlight the interactive element, not distract from it.

Straight Ahead vs Pose-to-Pose: Define rest and hover poses precisely. Transition smoothly between them.

Follow Through & Overlapping: Child elements animate after parent. Card lifts, then shadow expands.

Slow In/Slow Out: Hover-in: ease-out (fast response). Hover-out: ease-in-out (graceful return).

Arcs: Underlines can draw from center outward. Highlights sweep in curved paths.
