Walk Cycle / Loops
Walk Cycles are a common form of 'loop' animation, they consist of a sequence of frames which together make a continuous flowing loop. They help to make repetitive movements simpler to animate.
The 'Walk Cycle' form of loop is where the sequence of frames used to show one foot moving in front of another can be repeated continually and gives the effect of continuous walking.
The teeth brushing sequence in 'Minty Cool, Minty Cool' is also a simple loop.

You can see an example of a Walk Cycle loop below complete with the individual frames used to make the loop. Press the 'Play' button to start, use the Playback slider to go backwards and forwards or use the 'Next' and 'Prev' buttons to move through the frames one at a time.
