Sergey B.:

Good !

Hernán Bruna:

Very good but the final expressions of the guy doesn't go okay with the context

Tyson Ibele:

I like the posing in this one, but the lip sync didn't match at all. Nice effort though.

Tim Nowak:

Good animation but no emotion

Aaron Clement:

I like the facial expression! Nice exaggeration there! The polish could use a little work, though... Was entertaining and that's what counts.

Jeff Outlaw:

He's real expressive, I love how he says 'yes'

Taber Dunipace:

I think your acting choices missed the mark a little bit. Too much action, simplify or remove some motions to clear up the scene.

I love the animation at the beginning on the male.

Sunny Kharbanda:

Good simple approach... The mouth shapes and timing need work though.

Erik Westlund:

Two different styles of animation in one shot isn't working. He is pretty goofy and simple. She is much more conventional and natural. (much like the differences in the two rigs). Her performance falls apart after looking at the present long enough to see it is a fruitcake (stating as much) and then never looks at it again before making a rather startling leap in her awareness that it is probably the same gift she gave a year earlier. Her reaction is unsupported and unconvincing. His reactions are over-the-top, especially when the fruitcake is tossed, but his performance is also more appealing.

Mat Brady:

Nice!

Ramit Batra:

Nice expression changes on both characters :)

cristis:

if u improved the cake throwing will be better

Mike B:

not bad. nice poses and acting. the toss of the fruit cake seems a bit slow

Adam Clark:

the female could use some more facial expressions

Brad Regier:

i especially like the beginning business.
His reaction to her throwing it away could be delayed; i missed it
