2D Animation - "Its the ultimate illusion, its the ultimate magic trick"
The video clip above shows house styles like Disney & Anime.

Personally I find I have to be in the mood to watch Anime animations, they can be quite fast and vibrant compared the the Disney animations

Shaun The Sheep - How its made
I would love to have used silicone to create a puppet for an animation, I used a steel wire armature with tin foil as padding. Unfortunately this made my puppet to rigid, it was hard to move the position of the armature without being aggressive with it. (see stop motion post)

All animation of whatever genre it may be will use a variety of these rules for the different frames they create, these rules create the soul of the animation without it the animation would look slightly dead.
