I used Effect3D Studio to help me create these two animations. 

The five principles of animation used here are 

• squash and stretch 

• timing and motion

• arcs

• exaggeration

• appeal

Squash and stretch is shown through as its shape is distorted through the forward/backward motion of the Snail. 

Timing and motion is shown in the Snail as it accelerates forward and decelerates backwards.

Arcs is shown in the Dog animation as it makes a U shape in the air. 

Exaggeration is shown in the background. The colors coincide with the skin tones of their respective animals and the background patterns coincide with the the body shape of each animal.

Appeal...I dont know about you guys, but I think a snail moving forwards at a relatively rapid pace is pretty impressive. And since when can dogs float? Clearly these animations are extremely enjoyable.
