Matt Garward:

Lovely work. The mouth seems to have no expression, but I understand that may just be the style (oval-y). Really good work on the animation overall. I'm not sure about the "loosening the collar" action, it seemed a bit odd and unconnected to his other arm which just stayed where it was. And I'm not sure about the bird looking at camera at the end... it puts me off and takes my attention away from the speaker. Otherwise it's really, really nice work.

Christiaan Moleman:

Hey, 2D! Nicely done. Gestures are good, not too overdone. Only thing that doesn't work for me is "things would change for me". Not sure about that final pose.

Aaron Clement:

Good job on this... it felt nice. Would have good cool if the guy was Silvester the cat... would have been a good twist... Overall I like this one, though.

Jeranimo:

This is really cool! Good 2d piece! Keep up the great work!

Robert Tighe:

I love this. The Aardman mouth shapes rock. Nice posing. Nice timing. Shy, coy expression at the end. Good work!

Danny Garnett:

Very nice. :D

Ryan Hagen:

Nice work. Liked everything except the ending. I think you could've done a bit more with it there. Keep rockin'.

Olivier Ladeuix:

how can people make 2d animation seem so simple to do! nice work

Yeray Díaz Díaz:

Good 2D job, it's such a breeze of fresh air. Nice job overall. The last bit takes away a little since he barely moves and the lipsync quality drops. Congratulations!

ArunVijayan:

hey nice animation!!!!!

James:

Beautiful stuff, though I think you could push the facial expressions/emotion of the final couple of words.

Mike Courtney:

exaggerate squash and stretch when leaning to the bird

Jarred de Beer:

Aaahh!! Great stuff!!

I really enjoyed this one. Nice character, nice movement, nice surrounding. I rather liked the tug of his collar.

Eric Huang:

Nice!! No complaints :).. nice poses

Josh Doohen:

original poses. smart and great toony style.

Tyler Phillips:

Nice animation and great timing.

doc:

nice work (drawing) and feel to the character.

Michael Vandenhoven:

Love the style!

Mariya Kalachova:

Wow really nice, well done!
2d always looks better than 3d to me, I wish I had your skill :)

Nanda van Dijk:

lovely 2d skills. i just think his last pose is a bit strange. but real good animation!!!

selvaraj:

very goog animation

Ritwik Nag:

Way to go!!!

Emmanuel:

Nice drawing and animation!! Very clean and well drawn.

Nate Dorn:

seems a bit out of sync. MIght be cool to get more emotion at the end. Very good otherwise

John Erickson:

Nice job, nice design. Great job with the eye movement and lip synching.

Meaghan Arbital:

Excellent 2D!

Seth Taylor:

Nice

Paul Borawski Jr.:

Superb! That's all I got.

Jen:

Its to see some 2D entries. I think the 'S's could use some work, but the arm motions on the lead character, especially when he pulls them behind his back, are very believable and I enjoy watching them.

kienwei80:

Great 2d animation.

John:

Great arcs of motion and timing for the head and hand movements :) I think to make it better you could push the poses a bit more though. Excellent job :)

Ann-Marie Denham:

Hooray for traditional. Very nice! I like the sniff you put in.

Mat Thompson:

Nicely drawn and well animated....good stuff!

Jamie:

Great acting! It really feels like this the dialogue is coming out of this guys mouth. Nice touch with the bird at the end.

Sue:

Nice work!

Carol:

You capture the emotion and movement in this really, really well. The sweater pull at 175 is really effective. The only thing that bothers me about him is that I'd like to see him come into rest a little more after "me." Either a couple of frames of him coming into position, or keep that hold on a hold cycle so that the animation doesn't just abruptly end would really help that sudden stop. I also really like the secondary animation in the bird, though I think the final blink at the camera is a bit unneccessary. That boils down to being a matter of taste, though, I think.

Marcos:

clear great poses

evan:

your lucky im a 2D fan

Ciaran:

Great stuff. Really nice designs, really well drawn but above all, good acting. It's not overbaked and theatrical, it just works. The only criticism I have is that the mouth shapes don't particularly work, to my eye anyway, but ignoring that, this is great.

Teju Aloysius:

looks cool. good effort .

Francisco:

Good work!
