Swing Animation
Rocks back and forth around its top edge.

}Why it is built this way
All of the character here is in transform-origin. Rotating around the centre looks like a wobble; rotating around the top makes it hang and swing like a sign on a hook.
What it animates
1 property across 1 CSS declaration. The bar shows when each one is moving.
transformWhat it costs to run
Rotate is handled by the compositor: no layout, no repaint, and the work can run off the main thread. This is the cheap end of CSS animation, which is why it stays smooth on a slow phone where other properties will not.
It runs for 0.90s across 6 keyframe stops, with every property moving over the same window.
One curve throughout: Ease In Out on a card. Keeping a single easing across every property is what makes a multi-property animation read as one movement rather than several things happening at once.
Accessibility
Nothing here hides content — rotate moves over 0.90s and the element is visible throughout. The exported prefers-reduced-motion guard still silences it, which matters most for the looping ones: motion that never stops is the kind that makes people feel unwell.
