Emotions and Attitudes Cont'd

Now, let’s make a list of some basic emotions and some basic attitudes. Actually, here’s a better idea. Remember in “Designing Cartoon Characters for Animation” on page 166, I listed 150 different emotions alphabetically? I’ll reprint them here, but this time I’ll segregate out the emotions from the attitudes by putting the EMOTIONS in bold Black type and the ATTITUDES in plain RED type.
