That was a very well made short film! Gave me the feeling of watching Toy Story. Do you work for Pixar?

No I don't. But working for Pixar is my great dream.

Now I am working as animation supervisor for a Japanese company.

very good character animation. Really good rythem also. Music fits nice. just my taste but the end credits should be a scrolling list, and the opening is a little to long.

But coolness, looks like a lot of good work put in.

Thanks a lot! We spent a little bit over 1 year from the bare idea to the final product.

If you go on the website in "the Making" section you can watch some videos of the making that will be on the DVD.

Let me know what you think!

Flawless timing! I usually look at just the technical aspects but the story was hilarious.
