What other openly readable scholarly sources critique or test the twelve principles for 3D animation, and what does each one actually cover (what transfers, what does not, evidence offered)?

Four sources were inspected beyond Mohr. Bishko (2007, Animation Journal) argues the principles are not complete movement concepts, can impose a style, and lack intent-to-action; it names two 3D CG films as applying them 'for the sake of creating a cartoony look' and is a film-analysis essay, not a study of 3D keyframe or mocap practice. Thesen (2020) argues the twelve do not apply in full to digital hand-drawn, stop-motion, experimental or digitally animated media and proposes a reorganisation; only the Crossref abstract was readable (publisher page returned 403). Carter (2016 QUT PhD) is confirmatory: frame-by-frame analysis of four feature films 'tests and confirms' validity for 3D CG and reinterprets appeal as aesthetic harmony; only the record page was read (PDF 47 MB, over the limit). Mou (2018) is an empirical keyframe-versus-mocap student study that mentions the principles once. No open source inspected tests each principle on 3D keyframe or mocap output.
