What specific section or headline is this issue about?

No response

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

To show how to create animation, you use graphics from The Secret of Monkey Island (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_of_Monkey_Island). I think it's copyright infringement.

What did you expect to see?

You should use some other example to show how to create an animation.

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?

Hey @JakubJT 👋 Welcome to the community, and thank you for bringing this to our attention. Are you referring to the character used here? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/Client-side_web_APIs/Drawing_graphics#a_simple_character_animation

Yes, exactly.

i had an artist do the gangham style animation at https://codepen.io/estelle/pen/kYwzqp if you need a different sprite.

Better hide the character's head for the action sequence is better, otherwise replacing a character is necessary. :)
