12 principles of animation

The 12 principles of animation were introduced by Disney's animators, Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas, in their book 'The Illusion of Life: Disney Animation'. Published in 1981, it is widely considered to be the best animation book of all time.

The actual examples need work but I do like the choice of colors and typeface in this video. Good eye for design :)

[EvanDickey-zy]

this is a good l4esson, it teaches a lot.

[benjaminbeltran]

The example animations are so stiff and lifeless. How ironic lol.

When you do squash and stretch, the volume should stay consistent. The rectangle should be narrower when it’s stretching.

Timing comes with spacing. I don't know why many forgets about this

The principles are correct, but the animations...
Let's just say it's better than me.

So these are the 12 principles of animation

[pysces]

Some of the examples seem more like motion graphics than animation.

[NinjabeeRedtricity]

Do you have any idea how much I want to thank you for this?

[jazzjunkvr]

The examples are a bit stiff. I would prefer a more detailed video, like Alan Becker’s

[muammalsattar]

There's a mistake in 3:21
The subject lean backward before start moving .

I've found better explainer videos of the 12 Principles of Animation on YouTube. And, Wikipedia has the official names of the 12 Principles.

these are the principles indeed.. but these are also pretty bad animations too.
