Hahaha! Great idea! He doesn't need to the contents of the book that strongly since he is a grown up and probably the boys father. The last cut of the confused boy is not needed. I love it.

Vanessa Gonzalez

Haha I like the idea of this one. My only critique here really is that I think he starts talking too quickly after he breathes out; maybe if you give him a liiiitle bit of a longer pause it would flow better in my opinion. But good job :D

Robert Firestone

Love the dad's reaction!

Beau Hall

More mouth movement would've made this almost perfect.

Chrissy Schneider

Theme is great

Aaron Clement

Nice polish. Consonants could do with work. Love the acting.

Jasmine Moody

Very good <3

Ryan D Lowe

Hate that body spacing on F250- but great work overall. Great lip sync here! Overall just needs a good pass on spacing/texture.

Amartya Mukherji

very cute animation.. weight of the book is lacking
your break down poses needs to be refined to create more arc

Eshan

Very fluid animation!

Danny Kneip

Really good character animation up until the dialogue starts. The lip sync needs additional polishing.. many of the words are unreadable. The decision to not throw the book away was a good one. The child looking into the camera at the end spoils the animation for me. A decent animation nonetheless.

It would be really interesting if the boy has a change of expression in the end i.e. acquires this expression afterwards. And in the end there's no need to make him look at the camera. That looks a lot wiered. Hook Up problem in the second shot, the boy's hands should be visible.
