The intention of this research was to closely analyze a few scenes from Pixars "Toy Story" to see how they were using the principles of animation.

So I've included blinks, dialog anticipation/follow-through and some other issues which has to be kept in mind while animating. Also, while analyzing the scenes from "Toy Story" I realized that its not a good idea to try to use all these principles in each and every scene in your animation.

But how can the education system guide teens through confronting compulsion if students are conditioned to be "on-call"? Can kids find the self-control to plan time with their cell phones efficiently?
