Bunny Walk Cycle

i found a cute little bunny walk cycle on youtube and wanted to know how it was animated, i really want to try to get into animal characters.

The first thing is that bunnies hop. and this video shows that by dragging feet behind  to give that effect. he also used a mixture between ones and twos, ones mostly on the ground and twos when the bunny is in the air. i believe it makes the character feel more lifelike. and showing the effect of gravity by slowing it in the air.

there is alot of fluidity in this animation, while i was going through it i noticed the amount of good posing. even in the breakdowns and inbetweens. This bunny uses alot of construction mainly consisting of circles to give it a more cutesy look.

(here is the link to the original video on youtube.)
