Yes ma'am.

Here's what I'd do differently:

Slow down the sigh at the beginning and the head scratch.

Make the apple accelerate slower as it rolls down the hill, and make the bounce on the ground go higher.

make the character less static, like the whole head (at least) should move with the surprised take at the end, and I might even go so far as to have her re-adjust her legs during movements.

For a shot like this I might even pull the camera back further, smaller character = less frames required to look good.

Bring the scene to life. Sometimes things feel strange because they're static. Adding small details like the movement of leaves, the leaves on the tree, the clouds, or even the character itself can be beneficial to your animation.

Regarding types of movement. Keep in mind that physics exists. Things move in a particular way, and there's also lag and gravity. These are things you need to consider to make movement more effective, even when what you're doing is stylized and animated.

Motion effects. You can try adding blurs to suggest the speed at which the apple falls; the human eye isn't like an eagle's, think of when Flash runs. Besides this, there are also distortions to give your animation more impact.

Regarding the animation.

Hello im back again
made a few tweaks, mainly focusing on the pacing more than anything, considered moving the legs, ive got a wip of that but i havent implimented it yet

I honestly completley forgot to add anything for the suprise at the end, i added some stretch n enlargement n that part looks much better imo

but the rest of it?? unsure, the apple rolling is the part im unsure about now, i like the bounce, but idk if the pacing is any better.

if anyone else would like to jump in on this too please feel free lol every little helps

orgghh i wanted the apple to go off screen so it had to have a rather long roll just to get it off there, i need an excuse to have it thrown back at her face lol

honestly sounds like itd have a better time just redrawing the entire thing again to fix this thing at this point lol
golly...animating is hard man, this has allready taken me more time than id like to admit to get somewhat functional

but i can try this again...not sure what to do with that apple though because i want it thrown back, only thing i could think of is .... redrawing the background to have a really large slope down but how the hell would the throw work then???

rly not sure, but i can keep this in mind lol
