Taber Dunipace:

Weird but I think that makes it cooler. I was pretty distracted by the segmented chickens but the main actions seem clear.

Mike York:

I really like your idea and concept but I think the Biped looking limbs on the chickens is a little distracting.

Andrew Linke:

fun characters, and main character moves very nicely, wish the other moved well too.

Jason:

very weird.... but interesting. keep the animation in sync with the audio. that's key to a good animation

Traci Plagmann:

You've got some really great stuff going on with the middle character. The other two need a little more movement going on to keep them more alive. Great job though!

Frank G:

I like chickens.

Ken Rice:

Good effort.
Staging is a little flat: characters are evenly spaced in a line.

Mark Stoughton:

The two outside characters seemed to die when they weren't speaking, and parts of the center character were locked in place when he swung his head.

Elisa:

Good :)
My onoly critique is that the characters don't have much reaction after their lines and kinda 'freeze'.
It would be nice to give them a bit more life even when they are not speaking.

Greg M. Johnson:

Nice movement.

Radhika:

the middle guy is too lively...the first guy needs more of a reaction from the laugh and needs to look less rigid

James Parsons:

Some nice movement on the main character. Shame the rigs for the other two didnt allow their expressions to change, are they supposed to be mechanical? Nice concept though.

Erik Westlund:

Interesting characters to be working with. Unfortunately, the central character seems to be the only one your are using to tell a story, other two characters on left and right are treated as if only props. Perhaps this would work if the outside characters were obviously 'chichen butchering robots'. The central character has a distinct style in movement but some of the gestures are arbitrary and distracting from the performance such as hand movements that continue on frames 40-68. Loose neck movement on laugh into "where are we going" is somewhat disjointed from body. Lifting right foot on frames 193-222 is completely unsupported and breaks believability. Not addressing the staccato slapping sounds on "Oh, let's not spoil it." is kind of a cop-out.

Ceno:

great!

Juan Z.:

cool rigs

Pablo Piccione:

Beatifull characters! the best is the one in the middle..I like the "I got that" expression...May be you have to improve lip sync...

Jason Smith:

Great chickens!!

Aaron Clement:

Needs more life to it. Maybe more eyeblinks would be good. The head flopping was too much. The animation does have some appeal to it... just needs better mechanics and acting.
