Teddy 1.0 - Animation Time!

Today's Animation Time features the Teddy 1.0 Rig.
Teddy anticipates the kick then hops up and kicks out. When he kicks out his arms pull in and flap out as the foot beings to drop. The hips then shoot down and recoil back up with reverberations extending throughout the body.

Today's Inspiration:
