Jr Prez:

nice job, I love the end

Chris Sullivan:

I really like this one.

Todd Kough:

I thought the character blinked too much. Also I think you could have used the eyebrows more. The fall was more of a trip rather than his legs going to sleep.

cayle ward:

Knees are tricky, but if they are distracting, i feel they should be adressed. Nice cartoony fall !!

Avner Engel:

HEHEHEHEHEHEHE
This one realy made me laugh. Great idea and a well done execution. I wish you would have pushed the impact pose a little bit more so it will feel more powerful. Good job!

Javier Vazquez:

Nice idea. Very funny :D

Sean Hannon:

Poses and timing are very clear, snappy and fits the sound very well.

Marco Palmieri:

Great animation and good concept. doesn't quite sell the gag at the end. It would have been nice to see the other guy come to help him.

Omri Navot:

cute! excellent rhythm keeps it exciting.

Angelo Sta. Catalina:

the running needs work.. cool though

Mike Courtney:

yellow man seems to be running faster then when he is carried back

Ian Johnston:

If Seasame Street went all digital, I can't help but see it starting with this clip. Love the anticipatory pose before he drops. The only thing that stuck out right away was the left hand after the fall feels really stiff. A little well timed finger curl might help loosen that up.

Love the impact on the fall really great, could push the facial expression and grogyness after the fall, otherwise good solid animation.

Mark Persson:

Ha ha ha... The characters are perfect! Its funny! really good idea for the sound. The sound works perfect for the main character.

though... the characters need to be more polished. Need to fix the gaps around the elbows, knees and places like that.

Best !D

Cole Higgins:

awesome. great Idea and great character. PLay more with with acting. Hes not really getting the most out of the scene in the way that hes acting. hes kind of reserved. Play up his facial expresions and hand gestures. Really coo though.

Kevin Edzenga:

The guy in the background is great. But when the guy in the front slides back, it feels like he's sliding slower than how fast he was running and his legs should fly out from under him due to the tred mill, his feet stop at the end of the tred mill and then he falls.

Janarthanan:

good idea..could have made it more better..

Ben Crouse:

ok, that looked like it hurt. nicely done!

Roy Salamida:

funny! :)

Paul Naas:

You've anticipated the fall nicely, and I like the way you made the final line sarcastic rather than apologetic. Plus, I'm a sucker for a muppet look! :0)

Amdbcg:

keep the shot in focus - now I'm wondering what the other guy is doing . also, there's some dead action at 177

Justin Weg:

Bert & Ernie? Is that you?

Emmanuel Vergne:

Good idea. It works well

David Shum:

Nice timing on the fall :D

adolfo:

The man should be looking from time to time to the one next to him while he is talking.

jamil:

Nice work..entertaining :)

Erik Westlund:

Nice alternative to the typical "medical exam" theme. Lots of good little elements in this. The face wipe on the background character the bounce of the glasses as the main character falls. I like how he expresses frustration at the background character as if falling down is someone else's fault. The pose on "and you want to call it a health problem" is not setting up his dismissal or the fall that happens afterwards. It should be his shining moment of arrogance but you have him neutral.
