When it comes to animations, the movements, both secondary and primary, are what give it life and emotion. If one completely ignores Ruby's face and instead looks at her body's movement alone, you can still find trace of her feelings, but it's not completely there. If we add in the facial expressions, however, the emotions have returned.The reason that such a thing is important is because there is a theory that dictates there are five emotions that are characterized as universally recognizable: joy, sadness, fear, anger, and surprise. Such emotions are easily recognized while one wears a mask simply by using one's body movements.Now, 4 out of the 5 emotions are not here, but happiness is meant to be here simply based on the smile.Of course, perhaps you were going for a more subtle display of emotion, so it's not wrong to not have the body alone be able to express joy, since subtle displays are very difficult to accomplish using the body alone. So it's somewhat overbearing to criticize over that.While issues include obviously not much going on in the background (although that's not really the point of the picture so it's not really right to criticize over that), as a doodle and something done for the lolz, I think its quite cute. It's a nice throwback to two of your previous works (one of them being a style imitation of Jordan Cwierz's animation come to think of it). Other than that, my only concern is the towards the end of the animation, you can see a small spec to Ruby's left that moves with her (on our right side), and I don't exactly know what that is.Other things one could argue for are that the hands when presenting the box look a little weird (although that really doesn't make a difference). Now I personally would've liked to see Ruby's ending smile be a bit more shy/embarrassed to give it a little more "maturity" in regards to displaying that she knows what she's doing. The resolute smile that it has at the end somewhat contradicts the previous emotions of her being somewhat nervous towards presenting the gift, and while she does look nice and innocent with that smile, it's something contradictory to me after looking at it a little bit longer.Other things like realistic movements could be talked about, but in my opinion that doesn't really matter here.Other then that, nice animation, cute little thing, I wouldn't mind looping this. Well done!
