Scroll-Driven Animations (scroll-driven-animations.style)
Scroll-driven animations are a common UX pattern on the web. These are animations that are linked to the scroll position of a scroll container. This means that as you scroll up or down, the linked animation scrubs forward or backward in direct response. Think of interesting effects such as parallax background images or reading indicators which move as you scroll. A similar type of scroll-driven animation is an animation that is linked to an element's position within its scroll container.

Programming SDF animations of Rick and Morty (danielchasehooper.com)
This animation of Rick was made with 240 lines of code. No libraries, no images. I’m going to show you how to use GPU shaders and signed distance fields to make animations like it for videos, video games, or just for fun! I even built a live coding editor into the page so you can see the examples running and tinker with them.

It was written in a live coding editor that I embedded in this post so that you can program animations. Let me explain how this started…

Running Animations Without Keyframes (css-tip.com)
Using the new @starting-style you can create animations without using @keyframes. It's not a replacement for the classic way to create animations but it can be a useful CSS trick in some situations.

Mufasa's 'Bye Bye' shows how Disney villain songs went wrong (polygon.com)
Every day, Disney strays further from the wishing star’s light. And there’s one big reason for that: a staggering lack of animated villains. The studio has only produced a handful of movies with actual villains over the last 15 years, and as Disney fans frequently note, that means we’ve lost a glorious entertainment staple in the Disney villain song.

War of the Rohirrim Used Christopher Lee's Archives to Bring Him Back as Saruman (gizmodo.com)
The new Lord of the Rings anime prequel War of the Rohirrim is already playing with a lot of familiar locales and figures we knew of from the original tale. But while we knew at least one familiar star from the Peter Jackson movies would return to reprise their role–Miranda Otto as Éowyn, as part of the film’s narrative framing device–we now know that one other figure from the films is returning in a touching, unexpected way.

“Bad Apple” in Minecraft (purplesyringa.moe)
Demoscene is the art of pushing computers to perform tasks they weren’t designed to handle. One recurring theme in demoscene is the shadow-art animation “Bad Apple!!”. We’ve played it on the Commodore 64, Vectrex (a unique game console utilizing only vector graphics), Impulse Tracker, and even exploited Super Mario Bros. to play it.
