# Universal Timing Principles
Some animation truths **transcend duration**. These principles work at 50ms and 5000ms. Master these to make good timing decisions at any scale.
## Disney Principles - Universal Application
### Always True
**Squash & Stretch**: Scale proportionally - 5% at 100ms, 30% at 2000ms. Never eliminate, always proportional.
**Anticipation**: Ratio stays constant - anticipation is 20-30% of main action duration, regardless of total time.
**Staging**: One clear focus - whether instant or cinematic, only one thing should demand primary attention.
