Droop

An animal on four legs droops: its head and ears go down, its tail hangs low and its body sinks a little, sad. It stays so.

What it is for

A dog or a cat feeling low: told off, left behind, missing someone. It is what Sad, Cry and Deflate play on four legs.

The principle it shows: a feeling is the whole body

An animal cannot frown with its hands, so sadness goes into everything that can hang: the head drops from the neck, the ears fold back, the tail sinks and the body settles lower on its legs. Each part moves only a little; together they read at once.

      glide tail 0 over 0 s
      glide tail -45 over 0.6 s (out)
    — 7:
      look sad
  wait 1 s

0 s — the body up 0, torso 0, head 0, neck 0, ears 0, tail 0, the face sad.
0.6 s — head 28, neck 14, ears -10, tail -45, torso -4, the body up -8.

Try this

Take 1 s over its first change instead of 0.6 s: a slower droop.
In the program: ramp · over 0.6 → 1
Sink the body to 32.5 instead of 25: a lower droop.
In the program: ramp · to.dy 25 → 32.5

How it differs from the others

Cower (four legs) goes right down to the ground with the tail tucked under: fear, not sadness; Stand proud is the opposite shape.

Works on

The two in the film above, and what the move turns on each: worked out by the build, which plays the move on each body and checks what moves. Nobody types this table.
Who	Moves?	What moves
Sunny (one of the six people)	yes	whole body, turns, body, head, arms
Grump (an animal on four legs)	yes	whole body, body, head, front legs, tail, ears
