This cartoon was my first choice of animation that uses one of the 12 principles. In one scene presented at 4:09 seconds, noticeably uses the squash and stretch technique.
In this 3D animation at one minute, sets another principle using staging and giving the viewers the overall focal point in this trailer preview.
Slow in slow out and solid drawing can be seen in many different parts of this brief preview. This animation definitely takes into consideration the 12 principles on a skilled production level. It is definitely over the top with action but well thought out in how the artists presents each scene.
In this animation at 27 seconds timing is the key principle; showing for the moment presented had multiple frames of the same drawing in order slow the speedy motion.
Appeal is also an important principle that will be tied to a character, whether good or bad. This video helps to show this by balancing three personality types. The first is the silver haired character as passive aggressive, character in red as the assessor and character in black with black hair as the one deescalating factor non-aggressor.
This animation preview shows frame to frame / straight ahead action if it was not a 3 dimensional animation. The run sequencing could be frame to frame as much as drawing a pose and finishing the remaining actions later.
Within this video is the perfect examples of exaggeration as another principle of animation showing the drawn out motions of a character to create that extraordinary look or feel to an animation.
This video lastly shows each principle of animation in a very easy to understand manner scene by scen starting from the first to last of principles.
