I like the cartoon characters but Mrs. Munchnick could have had more action and movement. I know she's an old granny but adding some "throwing of the cake" would have made it better.

Lauren Andersson:

hehe, i like the guys faces

Emmanuel Vergne:

the shape "ee" when he says "Munchnick" is too big.
I love his face when he says "yes", it really makes me laugh :)
Works pretty well

Chris Sacco:

I love the lady's expressions. The characters and their appearance/ body movements really match the dialogue!

Jeff Outlaw:

I like quite a bit of this. I'd say spend some time with the eye darting on the shot of him saying "yes", that's the place to make some real gains.

Mariya Kalachova:

Great I love your style!

Taber Dunipace:

Wow, this is the simplest animation I've ever enjoyed this much. I think the animation and specific expressions really pull this one through. The drawings are pretty bad, but they're hilariously bad, so you got lucky on that one.

I see some real potential here so I hope you study drawing really well so that we can see a beautiful image to compliment this funny movement.

Erik Westlund:

Eye blink (frame 77) reads as some kind of crazy smear frame for the pupils. I could only tell it was a blink by stopping the animation. His line has some nice change/activity/energy in the beginning. Her line (minus the shoulder shrug) is completely static. Perhaps when we cut back to her she should be leaning forward a little and then returns to her closed and guarded posture. Missed opportunities.

Justin Weg:

Not bad. Fun style.

Frank G:

I like it. Maybe having him partly in shot when she's talking would help orientation. Nice work.

Mat Brady:

Amazing how much more expressive the 2d stuff can be, and so effortlessly so. Very refreshing to see.

sharad kumar:

nice style of animation...but something is missing,i think...u shoud've shown them together in atleast on shot!!

Damian Isherwood:

Quite an interesting style

Ramit Batra:

Nice to see 2D anim amongst a majority of 3D.
i like the shoulder shrug action of the lady. nice stuff!

Paulo Clayton:

Very cool styling! Nicely done.

Ian Johnston:

love the eye darting and worried look. If you add a subtle movement / reaction of the head recoiling when he responds with "yessss..." , you may add a sense of defense to her response. It made me laugh to see how defensive Mrs. Munchnik was the first time we see her. She's immediately established in how she feels about this whole thing and it reads very clearly. The style is fun and loose too. Well done!

Joe Jacob:

My girlfriend thinks this one is adorable.

Aaron Clement:

Not too bad. I like the detailed thought you put into the guy. Some nice touches in here... I found the linework a bit distracting... Some good acting overall.

cristis:

funny

lizzie:

love it!
nice rough design. and some great subtle animation.

James Wilson:

love the style

Allier Zelaya:

Looks good although a bit jittery but maybe that was the style you were going for.

doc:

very nice job

Nathan Jent:

It feels like the lipsync timing is off a bit. especially in the first line he says. His head seems like it could move a bit in the 3rd shot. Just something to give him some life. Good work.

Dave H Shovlin:

Sweet.

Julianne McCartney:

I loved how fluid this was even though it was a rough style. Good expressions.
