The opposite of &ldquo;limited&rdquo; is &ldquo;full&rdquo; animation — animation with no restrictions.</p> <p>The thinking behind full animation goes like this: an animal has a heart, and its lungs are breathing, so something is always in motion; even when it seems to be standing perfectly still, some part of it is moving — and on that premise you keep something moving. Limited animation, on the other hand, rests on a different ground: since it was a drawing to begin with, there is no need to move anything unless the movement means something.</p>
