Scrat's Anticipation

Ice Age uses several of the animation techniques we discussed in class. Scrat is an exaggerated version of a sabretooth squirrel. He squashes and stretches as his limbs move fluidly, each of them moving on an arc. As he walks toward the acorn his tail follows the movement of his body, a secondary action. The acorn is a good example of staging; the animators made it very clear that it is the object Scrat desire. He is a nutty little squirrel.

Lifted uses the same techniques as Ice Age. There is anticipation when the abductee is suspended in mid-air for a second after the alien turns the abductor ray off. The abductee's hair moving with the motion of his body is a good example of secondary action. The alien (at the control panel) arms move fluidly on arcs.

Robin Hood Daffy. Daffy being a exaggerated duck, squashes and stretches as he walks across the screen in the beginning of the film. His limbs are build on arcs making his movements appear more realistic. The feather at the peak of his cap moves along with him, a secondary action.
