make the visuals strikingly appealing. I hope this answers your question! =3

visual story of going from protected to completely vulnerable. While the glasses falling can serve as a metaphor for being afraid to be forgotten or a reminder of the tension they face. I love to utilize these methods of cinematography to enhance the thrills, emotional response, and (10/11)

The same way that toes curling can indicate a character is under a level of high stress. It's the fascinating little details I love so much. Extra things I like to add for more dramatic effect and thrill are things like footwear and glasses falling off. The loss of the footwear tells the (9/11)

However, these close-ups also allow the most important of visual storytelling to be seen. The feet hold a lot of emotions behind them. Subtle movements that can give away their fear or desperation, shyness, anger etc. Things like toes gently splaying could indicate a sense of playfulness. (8/11)

I love to bring these thrilling and fun elements of surprise to a script for a story. I also write actual stories in my own free time. I've been doing it since middle school. Sometimes a character just has such profound and outstanding paws, I feel the need to have them shown in close-ups. (7/11)

drop itself or even a spinning camera. Know why? It has to do with a lot of things such as my love for feet and paws, but it goes deeper than that. Say if you were to hang onto something like monkey bars at a park. What is the first thing you see when you look down? Your feet dangling. (6/11)

rules. Like how Darkwing Duck exists in a 90s toon world but would get tied up and dangled above a vat of boiling lava. My favorite way to handle such scenes is a much more intimate way. I like to have a shot of the character's feet dangling above the drop below rather than just the (5/11)

Another purpose it could serve is as a visual storytelling tool that not even the most innocent characters can realistically avoid a fall just because they're cute. I've always loved the juxtaposition of toons with a backdrop of something dark or challenges their world's first-established (4/11)

a scene that serves many purposes. To enthrall and engage the audience on an emotionally resonant level, create a thrill that can cause both psychological and physiological responses simultaneously. Responses such as being aroused but you're also worrying for said character's safety. (3/11)

Small and subtle things such as the viewers expecting a specific character in a cast to be the one to fall and hang on while crossing a rickety bridge, and then subvert those expectations by having it happen to the one that's simply smiling and minding their business. This way, it creates (2/11)

I actually do 50/50 to keep the audience on the edge of their seats. I tend to do some buildup with character moments first, in order to establish the emotions the viewers might feel in the given moment a character is in peril. Also, I like to keep it surprising and unexpected if possible. (1/11)

focal point of the POV shot." It's the little things, but if you ever watch an animated film where the character's feet are shown from their perspective vs a film that just shows the drop, you might notice that seeing the character's feet dangle is a MUCH more intense and immersive experience.

inanimate objects around, because I create a sort of cinematic jigsaw puzzle in my head. Say a couple of characters are at a construction site. My mind goes to "Oooh! Now, what if he lost his footing and had to grab onto a pipe? That way, when he goes to look down, I can make his paws the (2/3)

I have, actually! It's my forte in writing. The genre of cartoon that's easiest for me to write for are adventure cartoons. Things like Disney's Gummi Bears or Timon & Pumbaa. It lets my imagination run wild with a million different scenes in my head. I'm always analyzing backgrounds and (1/3)

humor but I love apolitical comedy. The action in this film was great, Norman Reedus and Willem Dafoe were INCREDIBLE in their roles. I love the quotes and prayers that have deep meaning behind them. This was quite a ride. I'm glad I gave it a go! 😄

However, it is true. I put the characters I love most throught the most danger because they're CHOSEN as my favorite characters in a show or film. I hope this answers your question <3
November 17, 2025 at 7:54 PM
in danger, but at the same time, it allows me to feel more properly connected with them. Feet/paws are a very vulnerable part of the body. Showing them so intimately close to the screen lets me feel equal parts thrilled and concerned for the character's safety. I know it's strange sounding. (7/8)

of protection and a wide range of emotions. From arousal all the way to feeling like I need these character friendships. There is nothing I wouldn't do for any of the characters that I love. I think that's why so many find my mindset a confusing one. Since I love to see moments of characters (6/8)

connected with a character. They're in peril, but it's also framed in a way that's enthralling and engaging. The different camera angles and shots keeping you on the edge of your seat as those scenarios play out. Shots of a character's feet or paws are a great way to make me feel a primal sense(5/8)

to open and snap the web that was holding them. It causes Flik, Francis, and Dot to fall. As Flik carries Dot in his arms, he makes the mistake of looking at the bottomless drop under his helpless ant feet. It might sound silly, but little moments like that can really make me feel emotionally (4/8)

I love how it was both thrilling and humorous. He was just all like "Why? WHY?!" while looking at the villain LOL XD

I'd say another one of my favorite moments was in Disney's "A Bug's Life". I loved the scene where after he saves Dot, an injury on Francis the ladybug's leg causes his wings (3/8)

I remember an episode where he was a cowboy, and the antagonist of the episode cuts the bridge to get across. Once Bonkers' horse reaches the edge of the cliff, it quickly stops itself and sends Bonkers flying into the air. He looks down, and we see his feet hanging above the ravine below. (2/8)
November 17, 2025 at 7:54 PM
Goodness, such a question to answer. I have a lot of favorite 90s cartoon moments. Some that made me feel emotional, some made feel excitement or arousal due to my physiological response to peril. Bonkers had great slapstick moments that included things like this. (1/8)
