In the Cataclysm Classic pre-expansion patch, my character is stuck in a fixed pose and has no animations. It has been this way since completing the Blasted Lands quest ‘Some People Just Need Killing’. I suspect that it has something to do with the pose your character is given while hiding and moving inside a crate.
Since the animations broke, I have tried herbing, mounting up, doing emotes, closing the client, and logging out overnight.
The exact same bug happened to another paladin I was with when completing the quest, but their animations came right after mining a node. The druid we were with was not affected (although he shape changed immediately upon completing the quest, so perhaps his character also was bugged).
The character in question is this one, Bravelight, on Arugal. I suspect things will be back to normal at the next reset but it is very bizarre to play the game while you are effectively a statute.

Same issue on my orc shaman after doing this quest
Had the same issue - dying fixed it.

+1 same for me too. It happened after using the big box disguise type thing in the cave. Hearthing, leaving the zone, restarting the client etc. have not fixed it
Had this happen to me recently, fixed by killing myself.

I am not sure what eventually fixed it for me, but somewhere along the way I was healing a dungeon and realised my character was animating again.
Still, I am surprised this was not listed as a quest bug on the list of things to fix.
Can confirm killing yourself works.
Additionally, apparently the vehicle for some quests is dependent on you having a normal animation and the vehicles will stutter and kick you out if you attempt to move if you get stuck with this.
Before fixing, both the “Into the Wild Green Yonder” and the Giant quest in Zul’drak with riding the storm giant gave the stuttering glitch.

Happened to me too, killing myself fixed it. Was stuck for a day, ran instances, teleported a few times, and logged out and was still stuck.
