Animation Breakdown | Elsa in a Cave | Disney's Frozen

This is the animation breakdown of the 'Elsa in a cave' test that I posted earlier. Here I go through a breakdown of my thinking process as well as notes/suggestions that I took to make the animation feel more pushed and cinematic overall. Who knows maybe someone from Disney will see this one day :D Hope you enjoy it.
