A comedian is not a person who opens a funny door - he's the person who opens a door funny.

As Norman McLaren said, animation is not a bunch of drawings that move - it's a bunch of drawings of movement.

The two most important people in animation are Winsor McCay and Walt Disney, and I'm not sure which should go first.
Chuck Jones -
Everything on Saturday morning cartoons moves alike-that's one of the reasons it's not animation. The drawings are different, but everybody acts the same way, their feet move the same way, and everybody runs the same way. It doesn't matter whether it's an alligator or a man or a baby or anything, they all move the same.

When the coyote falls, he gets up and brushes himself off; it's preservation of dignity. He's humiliated, and it worries him when he ends up looking like an accordion. A coyote isn't much, but it's better than being an accordion.
Chuck Jones -
Humiliation and indifference, these are conditions every one of us finds unbearable–this is why the Coyote when falling is more concerned with the audience's opinion of him than he is with the inevitable result of too much gravity.
