Richard Williams in the Animator's Survival Kit stated the fact that legendary animator Bill Tytla said that the three things in animation are anticipation, action and reaction.
Similarly, Charlie Chaplin had stated that the importance of acting, especially in silent film is: Tell them what you're going to do, do it and tell them that you've done it. They are both stating the same thing, that to show action clearly, one must anticipate the action, perform the action and show a reaction.
