As this animation opens you are immediately hit with the anticipation of what will happen with the title sequence, which continues as you wait for the third egg to finally open. There is also follow through with the birds pushing the egg back and forth.
When the shark swims into the scene, you are anticipating what will happen, and the staging of the birds on the iceberg with the shark swimming around them makes it clear...
There is also secondary action with the motion of the water as the shark swims through it. The exaggeration of the size of the whale, and the way it crunches into the iceberg is also a nice touch.
As soon as this animation starts you are overwhelmed with the exaggeration of the size and roundness of the animals. This scene is also full of appeal and humor that makes the audience just want to keep watching.
These two blobs of day and night are the perfect examples of the squash and stretch principles. The staging of what was dark and light is also easy to understand and is overall appealing and humorous to watch.
The timing for this opening scene really sets the tone for this animation. The anticipation of the radio off of the table really prepares you for what happens next. Then the slow in shows the one thing that the old women wishes for the most: her man to walk in through the door.
