I feel the motions are too big for the tone of the dialogue: in other words, they don't match, although the motions themselves are good.
Corey McDaniel:
I like the extremes here but I'm not so sure if the dialogue has that much energy to begin with. Very fluid and great poses nonetheless!
Matt Hirengen:
Great Job!
Bill Zebleckis:
mouth movement a bit exaggerated...but good motions! keep it up
manlio vetri:

Ed:

colus havenga:
a very fun piece! enjoyed watching it :)
Chris Niewinski:
I love the facial expressions, especially in the kid.
Jose M. Pan:
I really like the kid!, i thought you have to work a bit in the father, in the lipsync, and give him some more holds...
Erik Griott:
very nice! theres a satisfying payoff, and both the characters have distinct personalities. i even laughed!
Igor Medovshikov:
Great extreme poses.
Guo WenZHeng:
nice work
mitesh bhanushali:
great one
Curtis:
The animation on the kids is really nice. I think the father is a little over the top. His hand feels out of control. I think the "..than I have ever been" gesture where he points at himself, feels like it was squeezed in there, and you didn't have enough frames to do it cleanly. Pointing at yourself when a character says "I" is something I've been told to stay away from. Great Job! Keep it up!
Barnabas Boehler:
Overall I think this is really good. But the hands seem a bit busy for the father in the beginning. I think you could tone some of the gestures down or get rid of a few. (like "than I have have ever been at anything"). A few areas also feel a bit jerky..like the head when he says "Gift" at 144
Also, the part where the kid pops up and thinks is a bit distracting as well.
I really like the animation at the end where he picks up the paper and grins. That's the best part of this whole thing IMO.
Daniel Erwin:
wow this is great looking animation.... im not sure about some of the acting choices on the dialogue.... it felt a little too literal when he delivers "than i have ever been at anything." and i feel a pop and stiffness in him when he says "gift" the first time around... i love some of the lip-sync and mouth shapes, its playful and fun.
Florent Perrin:
Great work!!
Just not convinced by the dad's pose at frame 110, it's strange to get back to this attitude and then turn back to the son, no?
Timothy Yeo:
great acting
Sergey B.:
I love it.
Great work :)
Andre de Villiers:
Great facial expressions! Some of the father's gestures seem unnecessary, but you pulled it off. Good stuff!
Matthew Murray:
I liked this one over all, but this kids expressions were a little distracting and repetitious. nice job
Ronny:

Paulo Cesar Biajante:

rajeshk:
Nice, Although father is overacting a bit...But that's the way even my dad is when he starts praising me ... ; ).
I like the animation timing.. and the reaction of son. : )
Abraham Aguilar:

nice render
E. Cooman:
INCREDIBLE! Laughin my *** off, GREAT WORK! Acting is amazing. Love this one!
Magnus Yu:
Great work! The only thing that really catches my eye that at times I don't feel like I know where to look. You should have movements where the other character is just still so that there would be focus on the primary character . Just my 2 cents.
Omri Navot:
cute concept. good animation.
Alex Fundora:
nicely composed this is fantastic! =] I'm not too sure about the "once you acknowledge that" part where is teeth are too prominent. It works nonetheless awesome job ^_^
Steve Schultz:
