Deliberate Animations (1200-2000ms)
At 1200-2000ms, you're creating experiences, not interfaces. This duration is for moments of genuine storytelling where animation itself is the content.
Disney Principles at Deliberate Speed
Full Narrative Expression
Squash & Stretch: Character-defining - 30-40% deformation creates personality. Objects become characters.
Anticipation: Full dramatic preparation - 300-400ms wind-up creates tension and expectation.
Staging: Scene direction - think cinematography. Establish shot, then detail. Clear narrative flow.
Straight Ahead/Pose to Pose: Pose to pose mandatory - 6-10 key poses define the narrative arc.
Follow Through: Extended settling - 300-500ms of secondary motion after primary completes.
Slow In/Slow Out: Narrative pacing - ease curves tell emotional stories. Sharp starts mean urgency, soft ends mean resolution.
