Disney Principles at Large Scale

Full Expression of All Principles

Squash & Stretch: Dramatic deformation - 20-30% stretch visible and characterful. Objects feel elastic and alive.

Anticipation: Extended wind-up - 150-200ms anticipation sells the action. Clear "about to happen" signal.

Staging: Sophisticated choreography - multiple elements with clear hierarchy and timing offsets.

Straight Ahead/Pose to Pose: Definitely pose to pose - complex motion needs keyframe control.

Follow Through: Extended settling - elements continue moving 100-200ms after main action completes.

Slow In/Slow Out: Dramatic easing - strong deceleration creates impact at endpoints.
