Line 1: {{trope}} On a limited budget it's somewhat hard to animate someone running without it looking jerky. As recently as ''[[~~The Perils of Penelope Pitstop (Animation)\|~~The Perils of Penelope Pitstop]]'', animators tended to draw legs moving with very little bending of the knee, sometimes at even a full run. In real life, this would be more than a little painful, as shown in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNWP2Yc7XvM this animated insert] from ''[[~~Sesame Street (TV)\|~~Sesame Street]]''. The preferred trick around this is avoid showing the legs altogether. You can position the "camera" above the runner's waist while still showing them swaying about a little, or aim the shot straight at the feet, which also doubles as looped footage.
