Justin Weg:

Hahaha funny situation

Andrew Linke:

haha

Julianne McCartney:

Funny but needs more acting.

Taber Dunipace:

Ok ok, it's funny. I admit it, but there's still not a lot going on here. At the very least, have them swim around to accent certain parts of the dialog, or change where they're looking and their expressions.

Joe Garhan:

.... hahahahh

Greg M. Johnson:

Could have a little bit more expression on the non-talking characters.

Tim Nowak:

now this is origional and funny. I give you credit for creativeness but your characters could have used more emotion and movement.

Jim Collins:

nice concept

James Parsons:

Nice concept, but I think a bit more motion would have kept me more interested.

Erik Westlund:

Oh my. A female spermatozoa. Maybe not as out there as the "boy cows" with utters in Barnyard, but...

In terms of animation, you mostly have faces and aren't doing much with them. The eyes, eyebrows, mouths are all pretty much staying level for all three characters and are moving in a very symmetrical (left and right sides of each face the same) manner. Staging isn't adding much interest and the background event of impregnating the ovum is and arbitrary story element that doesn't seem to relate. Concept has huge potential, but the execution is falling quite flat.

Ceno:

very very very!
Save "Zé gotinha"

Juan Z.:

needs some work

Cristina Eiko:

Really liked the idea, but it could have had lots of more work, like showing more acting and eventhough it's limited, figure out more body movements.

Charlotte Wilcock:

Great idea :D

Holly Brogaard:

Shouldn't the woman's voice be the egg? I think that would have made this animation more effective.
