Toy Story.
After the comparison, we can see it is not only the texture, the model, the lighting become much better, the movement of the characters, both toys and humans, has become much more casual. If we say the movement of Toy story 1 is quite realstic and very smooth, then Toy story 3 is reasonable convincing and is humanlike vivid movement.

Marshall Mcluhan
Understanding Media: The Extension of Man.
Context & Review
According to Wikipedia, he was a Canadian educator, philosopher, and scholar—a professor of English literature, a literary critic, a rhetorician, and a communication theorist. Althought the media theories which he brought out is quite controvertible, they are all worth to be refered into our present work.
His first published book named "The Mechanical Bride" in 1951, analyzed the popular culture at that time and the effect it would bring to the society. 11 years later, in 1962, his second book named "The Gutenberg Galaxy: The making of Typographic man" had been published. In this book, he analyzed the effects of mass media, especially printing press, and the word "Global Village" presented Mcluhan's different thought about this rapidly developing world.
The one we all should look up to is the third book from him, which is "Understanding Media: The Extension of Man." in 1964. The most famous phrase from him had been brought out: The medium is the message. "The media themselves should be the focus of study, not content they carry". In another word, campare to the content itself, the way or the path in which peiple review the content is more important. It means that: the reaction would be totally different when a joke were told by comic drawings or on the radio. Therefore, the term, "cool" and "hot" media appeared. "Any hot medium allows of less participation than a cool one, as a lecture makes for less participation than a seminar, and a book for less than a dialogue." Based on this theory, the phenomena of the films based on the comics nowadays is more reasonable and acceptable.
Dynasty Warriors 7 - Official Debut Trailer | HD
Compare to the one below, this is the trailer for the lastest version of the new game, which is not statisfied me, movements are quite rush and not very clear, some camera works are not working, the editing is not good, because of too many characters with different environment back and forth. that is the problem I need to watch out.
真三國無雙5 OP
Very good martial art animation, smooth and realistic movement, exactly what I am looking for. Also, I can learn from the editing: Smooth in with a quiet scene, like a weather breeder, start fighting with fancy moves, change to another piece of quiet background, bring out the big boss, finally leave a suspense. For me, start with a peaceful background, voiceover introduce the background story, bring out the relationship between two characters, finally the fight scene.
Animation Reference - Athletic Male Standard Walk
Every steps are slightly different. SHOULDER-ELBOW-WRIST, HIP-KNEE-ANKLE.
Ninja running cycle
Good timing, step rhythm.
Hint: Head and arm's follow through, shoulder and chest's movement keep the same direction.
Shortage: too robot like, every step is the same, and the swing of arm and leg is same. upper body should bend more to bring the povet point forward.
Realistic Walking cycle
Perfect walking cycle for muscly model, muscle squashing and straching.
Hint: shoulder's movement is forward and backward with slightly swing. Because of the biceps, forearm is not moving follow through, forward movement only with a conditional angle of elbow. Chest movement is heavier than I thought, it is moving as a sector. Don't forget the second buffer crouch on the knee. Hip is mainly moving up and down.
