Good job! :D

Jayvon Gomes

When the food fell into his mouth, you should have expanded the stomach a little bit for more of a cartoony effect

Sara

Very cute, great job!

Pooja Krishnan

Love this! great designs!

Valentious Williams

I really loved this one,it felt right until to the very end.I was expecting something very interesting to happen with the fish bones,but i was flat ,just linearly entering the mouth.If u spent just a tad more time to make that small part appealing this could have made it in.

David Wilkinson

this looks great I love the style you went for.

I like the environment, the staging, and the overall design. The brown cat's personality is spot on for the "funny guy" , and his animation is perfect up until the very end - the timing for the falling fish is a bit drawn out and abrupt, I think you should've made him flop his arms down when he's done talking or something other more punctuative motion. I don't like the yellow cat's expression and movement - after watching it a few times, it gave me an impression like he's trying to seduce the brown cat. I would've tried to contrast the "funny guy" and "straight guy" roles a bit more, maybe by making the yellow cat a little more curious or confused regarding the brown cat. Overall, good work.

Good animation !! grt keep it !!

Taylor Rae Barnes

It would be perfect with a little more frames to smooth it out.

Satya

The final expression after the cat swallows the fish bones could be of satisfaction :)
Very nice work

Derek Stewart

Very cute! Strong appeal with this, although the held shot at the end is a bit slow, requiring a bit more polish as he anticipates the fishbones coming down.

Shelby Christie

Cuuuuuute! I'm so happy to see some 2D work.

Nitin Navale

Nice work, looks Cute too!!!!!

April Slocombe

Love the set-up with two cats. Movement is subtle, lip sync is good and it's funny when the fish bones fall into Bill's mouth.

Wow... I see a lot of Disney influence here and it's just beautiful.
