I came across a website which me to understand exactly how I can find out how to animate my characters based on their emotion and the scene they are in. The website (link below) says that if you do not know how to animate a certain expression then act it out. This might come in very useful later on to get new ideas and to understand how to express emotion through body language instead of facial expression.

After planning how to characters will move and the storyline, I looked into how I could portray my characters through body language. I want the elephant to look as cute as possible so I want to give it a waddle when it walks to make it seem short and cubby, as this is seem as a cute feature. The giraffe needs to look dopey and slow, so maybe I could tilt its head and many it tall and lanky with lowered eyes.
