Hips - rotate to offset the chest, extra up and down
Legs - medium low steps
Feet - drag back on the passing position, land with a little toe flop
Arms - hang down, light bounce
Hands - hold the box, extra up and down bounce, delayed from the movement of the arms and forearms extending into the fingers

12 Principles of Animation -

SOLID DRAWING
The basic principles of drawing form, weight, volume solidity and the illusion of three dimension apply to animation as it does to academic drawing. The way you draw cartoons, you draw in the classical sense, using pencil sketches and drawings for reproduction of life. You transform these into color and movement giving the characters the illusion of three-and four-dimensional life. Three dimensional is movement in space. The fourth dimension is movement in time.
