ITT: Great Animation Thread?

It was a long winded way of saying "this isn't complicated enough to be good"

there's the attempt at animating the opening and closing of the boxing glove without it becoming flat
the attempt where the eyes grow off-model to indicate staring

I think James Baxter is overrated, and it's not from a 'I don't like it because i hate it reeeeeeee' point of view. Compare with anything else posted in this thread and you can see that his gimmick is literally "how much bouncing, pointless movement can I fit in the shortest amount of time regardless of fps?" Good animation should look natural but you can almost ALWAYS tell he's doing the animation because everything he works on looks like he's drawing more movement than it needs just so it looks busy. Plus it really doesn't help when he's trying to fit a high fps animation in a series that doesn't share the same framerate, and it looks even more out of place.

this wasn't too bouncy

Any clip from the Thief and the Cobbler

Making it bouncy and energetic IS the point. That's like criticizing The Sunflowers for being filled with pointless sunflowers

>Animations that aren't elaborate attack sequences and deaths have to be short and simple for gameplay purposes.
>WHY ISN'T IT AS GOOD AS A LINEAR DISNEY FEATURE FILM ANIMATION

user's saying all his animation is like that, and he's got a point in that even this one lacks proper weight and pace to emphasize the bouncing.

I mean that's barely animated, but you're right.
