The quote you used above, "Don't make it real, make it believable" by Oliver Martin Johnston, Jr. applies to SO many things in the artistic world! Needless to say, I can't think of a specific example at the moment, but there have been so many times hubby & I have been watching something on TV, and I'll complain about.... ugh, I'll make something up to explain my point... someone using a magic spell to become 50 feet tall.

Hubby will say, "you know this is a show where there are talking elephants, right?" and I'll respond, "yeah, but they made that part believable - this, they just dropped into the plot with nothing to back it up."

The devil is in the details, eh? 😂

Great suggestion to get feedback from people - I agree it's one of the best ways to find out if something works, be it animation, writing, or anything creative. Awesome use of gifs, by the way. 😊
