Nice work! Father's arms could use more movement

This is great blocking. Nice work. I suggest blocking in the subtle drifts of 'keep alive' on the still character when they aren't speaking.

Is it still in blocking? Or stylized? I think too much looking left right on the dad. It works just do it less.
It's good though.

Nice acting. Lipsync is bit choppy and the dad character feels frozen after his line. I like the way the little girl moves away in the end.

Excellent blocking but the lack of hand movements and over the top facial expressions make the entire thing feel uneven in terms of effort and expressive potential, our hands make up a significant amount of our physical expressions and it's lack especially on the dad's part in this animation make it feel more comedic than deep.

Solid- perhaps it has too much Spiderverse jank (ducks tomatoes), but the mechanics are logical and the faces expressive.

it's gorgeous and charming ))
