Note: Found out 1:05-1:10 is actually animated by Kristof Serrand.
A compilation of animation by James Baxter I made for my blog post about him: hobbessakuga.wordpress.com/2016/06/18/animators-then-now-james-baxter/
The song is Emile Pandolfi’s cover of Beauty and the Beast.
Baxter is a British animator who worked for Disney in the 90s and currently works at DreamWorks.
Baxter was the supervising animator for these characters in the video:
Beast
Belle
Rafiki
Quasimodo
Giselle
Prince Edward & his horse
Spirit
Moses
All the animation in the Kung Fu Panda opening
Everything in the pencil test animations
James Baxter the Horse
I’m pretty sure that Baxter animated all of these cuts but it’s possible that I’ve made mistakes. If anyone has info about other animators doing shots in the video, please tell me so I can credit them.
List of sources:
0:00-0:26: Beauty and the Beast
0:27-0:38- The Lion King
0:39-0:49- The Hunchback of Notre Dame
0:50-1:00- Enchanted (2008)
1:01-1:26- Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron
1:27-2:24- The Prince of Egypt
2:25-3:03- Kung Fu Panda
3:04-3:29- Beauty and the Beast
3:30-3:39- Enchanted (2008)
3:40-3:42- Gravity Falls (OP)
3:43-3:49- Animation for CalArts Lecure
3:50-3:57- Animation for CalArts Lecure
3:58-4:03- Animation of James Baxter Dancing
4:04-4:28- Adventure Time (Season 5, Ep 19)

The list of where each clip is from, and the name of the song used, is in the description. Also, you can press "." and "," to go through the animations frame by frame.

To go frame by frame with the comma and period buttons, the video first has to be paused. Also, if you want to do rapid frame-by-frame to easily see differences between multiple frames in a row, I recommend dropping the video quality to 360 or lower. 720 and higher, moving between frames lags more. It took me a long time to learn about this of KZfaq. Thanks for pinning a comment about it, Hobbes Sakuga! :)

Rychoo he talks about it a fair bit in the behind the scenes for Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron. He and the other animators spent a lot of time seeing real horses and studying he way they move. Horses are hard enough to draw, let alone animate. He really does animate them wonderfully.

Baxter has such a genuinely deep understanding of weight and gravity and *texture* regarding his animations, and how the shapes of a figure take up the 3d space, but most fascinatingly how to move those characters through space while at the same time changing the view point. It's all so dynamic and ethereal, not so much perfectly imitating realistic movement as it is improving upon it. He's extremely skilled.

Some of his scenes from Who Framed Roger Rabbit include Smartass the lead weasel saying "I'll hang you and your laundry out to dry", Greasy the weasel in the green suit dropping the bricks on Roger, and Jessica picking up Roger followed by them walking into the sunset. He also did a few scenes of Scar from The Lion King, when he tells Simba "no one ever means for these things to happen" and when he circles around Simba guilt tripping him. And for The Little Mermaid he did a few scenes of Ariel and her father King Triton particularly the argument scene, he isn't too proud of the way he drew Ariel when she says "Daddy I love him!".

The very few rare scenes actually in Disney's history. when he circles around Simba guilt tripping him. Disney rarely animates the camera to turn. But there they drawed Simba from different angles instead of scar just walking around him while simba and backround staying still. But Richard Williams was the genius who perfected that animating camera angle changes.

I clicked on this video because I felt like I recognized the name James Baxter, but then I remembered that was the name of the horse from Adventure time. I didn't realize however that James Baxter was an actual person, let alone the fact that he animated tons of iconic disney movies and the cartoon segments in Kung Fu Panda. I now have mad respect for James Baxter

I swear, James Baxter's work are always present in every animated show I've watched and its not only Disney. He's a genius at animating, its almost like he's a wizard who can turn 2D drawing into life.

It makes me cry, this man has incredible ammounts of knowledge in how things move and behave He can make any drawing seemingly come to life, in a way that is very believable The charm with each frame. The love and care he breathes into the whole reel. 2D Animation is a rare talent to have in this day of age. I aspire to someday reach this level and make a reel of my own The magic he puts into his work is incredible, very skillfully done. I especially admire his horses, my GOD they're gorgeous
