Animated Scene Breakdowns

Check out this great animation breakdown of a scene from Moana, taking a closer look at its use of pantomime, body mechanics, weight, facial animation, timing, humor, staging and so much more!

What are other animated scenes that you think deserve another watch for how well they utilized these skills? Drop links in the comments below!

This was a great breakdown to see the different components of Moana. I like the reference he uses of the weight assignment. Taking a basic example (lifting the box) and how something simple can be translated into two characters. I would love to see a breakdown of the animated series "Blue Eye Samurai,"

Cyrus Sales, is there a particular scene from Blye Eye Samurai that you believe deserves a close look? Is there a Youtube link that you can share with everyone here in the comments to check out the scene?

There's not a particular scene from Blue Eye Samurai that I believe deserves a closer look but it would be cool to see one of the fight scenes from this collection (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkrJF97x0yE) explained and/or broken down in depth.
