Sergey B.:

I like pose and face expressions, nice work

Mike York:

I like your character :-)

Hernán Bruna:

very good! ^^ just to comment that the fruitcake it's amazing hahaha

Tim Nowak:

Good but too much stop go stop go stop go movemnet. The plate is moving by itself!......

Steve Clarke:

Her motions are very grand for a slow old sounding lady. The end expression is good though.

Erik Westlund:

I have plenty to say about this but will refrain for the momment.

Emmanuel Vergne:

i think it's too much at the beginning. I would have prefer you choose more simple and subtle actings/poses like the last one on "I gave You last year"

Frank G:

What a great Mrs Munchnik.

Mariya Kalachova:

The actions seem a little too fluid and extreme, she feels like a dancer, or just a little over-acted, not natural. But really good anyway, I love the expression at the end!

Taber Dunipace:

The timing could use improvement, it feels monotonous right now. I love the acting choices though.

Imus zai:

Good work!
critique:
- her eyes need to come to the cake on frame 116

sharad kumar:

take care wit your moving holds...its giving that floating effect.

Jules Nerestant:

At the beginning her arms feel floaty and her spine is a bit stiff. Great animation on her last bit of dialogue though.

HARISH:

theres a jerk in the neck after " Remark....." showing the male character would have been a bit better

Ian Johnston:

Because this scene is focused on Mrs. Munchnik and the fruitcake, I would like to see a little more relationship work between the two. Maybe she picks a piece of it off and examines before putting it back. Maybe she rotates the plate. Something to show that she understands this is her work being delivered back to her. Good pose and expression at the end.

Andrew Stovesand:

Mrs munchnik seems a bit tipsy...

Matthew Simkins:

I like the poses you've used. Some of the arm movements are a little distracting however. good work though and could be great after a bit of pollishing.

Aaron Clement:

Her eyes look really life like. I like the beginning and ending the most. It felt a little poppy at times, though.

Ryan Brooks:

shes kinda tipsy before she puts her hands down, does that fruitcake have rum in it?

Max Herzfeld:

Good facial expressions, but I think you could have portraed the charater as older. Nice way of only needing one character on screen though.

Chris Reno:

certain actions seemed subdued or at the wrong time. i.e, her pose on "year" feels like it should be on "last"

Brad Regier:

interesting poses!
...but they're kind of swimmy/spliny

Dave H Shovlin:

You've got some strong poses here. The bite taken out of the cake is very nice as well. Good attitude on Mrs. M. I might space out her poses a bit more and iron out the tweens.
