Below is a link to some scenes from an animation that I really was interested in. I liked how they applied the movements, how the scenes were beautifully colored and/or appeared realistic, along with the sounds.

In the link above, it shows a scene from the anime One Punch Man. I think this has great and smooth animation, which I think is a difficult achievement considering most of this show is action. In this scene, Saitama (The man in the yellow and red one piece with the white cape) is asked by his disciple Genos to have a brawl of some sorts to test his ability. Although he is aware of is teacher Saitamas strength, as his name applies, he still wants to try and see what he can do against him. He starts with high speed movement, which usually id somewhat difficult to see in some animations. But here, it looks smooth and clear. He’s attacks are clear and you can accurately see what he does while mid-action. Also, this anime is really entertaining so it all connects really well.

The link above this is a beautiful scene from the digital animation Moana. The scene her is when Moana as a baby meets the ocean while she was rescuing a little turtle. This Disney movie is incredibly beautiful and its clear to see why. How the ocean glistens and shines is extremely eye catching. How the ocean also looks so realistic, by the colors and how it has waves that splash onto the shore. I also love the nature in this movie. The colors are so rich and bright. They also have extreme detail which also gives it its life-like appearance. Although the characters have been “Disney-afied” (my special word for describing Disney’s human style) they still have very beautiful and realistic features about them. How all the characters hair flows and moves with the body. Each and practically every strand is visible, which adds to the life like quality. The body movements when they walk and talk seem so human that it seems impossible for it to be a cartoon. Keeping everything cartoony yet still having a realistic features is one of Disney’s many talents. This movie will clearly continue to awe and amaze all who watch it.
