#4If you’re interested in this topic I really recommend The Animator’s Survival Kit by Richard Williams (the director of animation in Who Framed Roger Rabbit):

Most of the points from the article seem to be derived from the stuff the book covers in more details.

It’s a great resource if you like learning from a cranky old man who hates everything made after 1962 and is a serial child abuser. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/arianelange/john-kricfa...

Survival Kit is an advanced book that dives into the deep end, The Illusion Of Life by Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnson [1] (two of the guys on a bunch of the early Disney features) and Cartoon Animation by Preston Blair [2] (countless MGM shorts) will give you a solid grounding in the basics.
The whole article focuses on expanding a list of principles of animation from Illusion.

#8I recommend watching this awesome video summarizing 12 principles of animation:

(by the author of Animation vs Animator)
I second Animator's Survival Kit by Richard Williams, it's great. And Keith Lango's video course for 3D animation. These two are absolute best for learning intermediate/advanced animation.
Also, of course, Animation Mentor and 11secondclub competition.

Separate the art from the artist.
Re: Foundations of Animation
#10Way to mess it up from the get go. #1 as Appeal is not even close. You don't do appeal as an animator, you are not a character designer. You give life to someone else's creations. The same goes for #2. Not a bad updated list otherwise.
