As the ball is stepped on by Luxor Junior, it squashes and stretches according to the amount of force applied to it by him.

During 1:19 to 1:21, timing and motion both show in these frames as Luxor Jr bounces up and down on the ball which eventually lead to another element squash and stretch.

3. Anticipation

Frame: 43, father Luxor stares at the ball then off-screen for a second before knocking it out of frame in which showing a hint of anticipation.

In this animation, the setting includes the overhead lighting showing the entire scene, the light from the father Luxor and, the rolling direction of the ball.
