After watching Spirited Away, I decided to change several areas of my own animation. I liked the sequence with the lever which poured water into the bath. The motion that was repeated several times- the pulling of the rope- showed me that real-life motions can be easily portrayed if you work to put them on a loop and to do it accurately.
The faces in this animation also amaze me. I like how the old woman--the owner of the bath-- is so expressive and how her expressions change depending on what is happening in the film.
The depth perception in the bath is also very interesting-- when the little girl is climbing down the huge stairs, it seems like they go on forever, until she slips and runs the whole way-- the background moves with her as well.
Additionally my favorite "looped" animation, was the little spiders that delivered the coal to the heater. I liked how it seemed so heavy for the girl and yet these little monsters could carry it swiftly across the floor. I also thought it was funny how their eyes moved when they saw that she helped one of their comrades move the coal and how they all "dropped" theirs to have her help them as well.
