Squash and Stretch, one of the 12 Principles of Animation

Alan Becker has an interesting background on this fundamental of animation.

The Khan Academy has a great series from Pixar called Pixar in a Box. Below: the Squash and Stretch video.

Are you a Cinema 4D user? Curious Animal Membrane Deformer is a Squash & Stretch Deformer

Membrane Deformer is a Cinema 4D plugin to help you rig stretchy elements like webbed feet and bat wings. Membrane Deformer makes rigging these otherwise tricky organic features amazingly simple – just select the points you want to be stretched in a point selection tag, add Membrane Deformer, and animate your object with any other deformer (including Cinema 4D’s character skinning tools). Then Membrane Deformer will take care of stretching your selected points between their surrounding points, which you control directly, even adding squash and stretch. You can limit the deformation to specific areas using the built-in falloff tab.

Note: Membrane Deformer has been discontinued.
