I think this is fascinating, because as someone who has watched a lot of animated movies, I don't think I've ever taken the time to consider these sorts of things. Thanks for taking us through these examples. It's neat to see how the animators chose to do certain things in order to keep my attention on the main actions.

Perhaps the next time I view an animated movie or TV show, I'll pay more attention to the subtle actions of background characters to see if the animators are clever with them.

Great post. Thanks again for sharing.
