Jeff Kim:

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:

Josh:

Ed:

Love it!! The son character is amazing. You really know what hes thinking

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:

very good man! godd timing!

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:

Matt Kelly:

jonas bech:

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:

I love the facial expressions! Good job

Chad Swanson:
