If 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.

Animator's Survival Kit by Richard Williams

is the book on animation, takes you through all the basics and breaks down why disney's animators were just better than everyone else... applicable to css3 / front end development.
