When watching Kiki’s Delivery Service awhile back, I fell in love with this one part near the end of the movie where Kiki is running and as she turns the corner, she slips on a leaf and stumbles before regaining her footing. It’s such a small detail, but it makes such a difference.

Watching this along with seeing stuff in Drake’s Fortune inspired me to try doing a bit of physical animation where my character will run, stumble a bit, pick up his footing, then jump and scramble up the side of the wall. Above are reference thumbnails taken from Kiki and from a parkour video I saw on Youtube. The jump thumbnails read right to left because it was easier for reading the movement based on the reference footage.
