Robin hood animation looks better than Bambi.

I'll admit I usually don't like Disney (designs, coloring, often too overdone animation with ridiculous mannerism and exaggerated cliché principles following) but I've seen a few cuts of Milt Kahl on Robin Hood (those in pencil) and I love it. I don't know if I'd like it in it's finished state, Disney coloring looks so flat and there's no texture, also the forms are usually too random (round, but feeling non accurate) and the lines, I mean I haven't the same feeling that anime but I can't really explain it, it's not only a matter of designs and forms ("manga faces") but the way the forms are approached.

I'm getting a bit lost here but for a quick example look at the above gif of LWA the face is round but it's kinda broken, not a soft round. I feel like a lot of the time in Disney the rounds are not as calculated and just thrown like blobs. I don't like how it feels, shapeless actually.

But I like the pencil animations you posted, there's also the famous one where he walks (pic related).

I agree for the secondary action, the life (breathing, even, what lacks from most anime, but I can find it in Yoshinari's).

The squash and stretch is nice here but as I said earlier I often feel this is a shapeless squash, I prefer the smearing of anime like in recent Doga Kobo.

As for the charm, I find the above witch totally charming (and I'm bored with moe, appreciation worse than someone who never liked it from the start I guess).

The timing, again, I don't think the timing of the above LWA cuts is bad, though the feeling it gives off is different from a Disney's. Didn't care to analyze it myself but it'd come from the way Japanese vary modulate timing and spacing, originally because of the fewer drawings, to make it match a fluid movement even with fewer drawing, there might be a special way of spacing, which gives a more bouncy (and a bit jerkier) movement. Though I didn't study that difference thoroughly and the theory seems a bit weird to my brain.

if only 4chan had an /ani/mation board :3

What are some of the best software for animating? Furthermore, if I want to add music or sound to an animation, which program is it usually done in?
