Instant Animations (0-100ms)
Animations under 100ms feel instantaneous to users. This duration is for immediate feedback that confirms actions without perceived delay.
Disney Principles at Instant Speed
Works Well
Squash & Stretch: Subtle - 2-5% compression on button press creates tactile feel without visible deformation.
Anticipation: Skip entirely - no time for preparation at this speed.
Staging: Minimal - rely on position/color change, not movement.
Straight Ahead/Pose to Pose: Straight ahead only - too fast for keyframe complexity.
Follow Through: None - motion completes before follow-through registers.
Slow In/Slow Out: Use ease-out only - starts at full speed, slight deceleration.
