Walk: draw the two outstretched extremes (A, B) one step apart, the middle passing position (C), then in-betweens (D, E); the second step reuses C, D, E as outlines with limbs swapped, so a walk is two alternating sets of drawings. Cycles: effects (smoke, water, stars) and animal gallops repeat 3-5 drawings in order; a misordered cycle can read as moving backwards; backgrounds move 1/16-1/8 inch per exposure to give speed and depth. The text and an illustration caption disagree on drawing counts and the figures were not inspected.

Curator qualifications: Walk built from two extremes, passing position and in-betweens reused with limbs swapped; cycles of 3-5 drawings for effects and gallops. Prose vs unseen caption drawing-count conflict noted by lead. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
