Richard Riehle, as Tom Smykowski, in Office Space (1999) proves that a live action person can walk hunched over at a 45 deg. angle. Animators must surely be able to loosen up & crank their performances more after seeing this! He is humiliated by his interview with a slash & burn tag team and now runs into his colleague, Michael (David Herman), and - after a perfect example of a "pause for a beat" - he storms off screen. That pause is genius; it allows the audience to reflect on what dark depths he must be in as he faces a friend who is unaware of the trauma he'd just experienced.
So much more effective than just dashing from hitting one mark to the next. More on Office Space in another entry, as we see some of what went into this grievous meeting.
