This single frame of Doc from Disneys Snow White, Animator Bill
Tytla, shows him removing his glasses and turning his head to
demonstrate this idea. His fleshy face distorts for a fraction of a
moment in a series of drawings. When these are seen in a movie they
look natural but all alone they tend to look ridiculous!

This series of frames from Disneys Elmer Elephant shows a
moving hold. Animator Ham Luske shows us that the pose is made
stronger by coasting to another, similar but more extreme pose. It
makes the end of an animated action look less stiff and more
lifelike.
