If I'm reading this right, you're asking about creating assets of a character, then just animating them using tweens?

Loads of people do this, it's a lot like using a puppet. The result could either look super shitty, or can come out quite well.

I'm pretty sure the show Archer, uses this method. I've seen an episode, and for a little bit I thought it was cell shaded animation, but it's actually using premade pieces.

If you want to get a animated disney feel though, the only way to go is using frame by frame and drawing by hand.


Of course, if this isn't what you're talking about, then my bad.

But in any case, if you want that fluid, 1940's Disney feel, frame by frame is the way to go.
A lot of it has to do with overemphasizing the movements and inertia. And learning to draw is probably a good starting point as well.
