good acting choices and for 2d not a bad attempt, nice work keep it up.

I love the idea but I find it a little difficult to see what's happening - I'm not sure if it's just a little too fast or if it just needs a little clean up, i.e. there are a few frames with missing details (frame 7 for example). There's also some distortion in some of the character movements where they start to look off model and I find it a little distracting. Always love to see some 2D though and really like the acting choices of the "hipster", turning his back towards the other T-rex as he gets more annoyed.

You're trying to accomplish way too much with the characters in the first shot - so there's a lot of motion while the acting doesn't develop. The veggiesaur's motions could be blended a bit more, and drawn out. It's much better paced in the rest of the shots- I'd recommend putting the carnosaur's lipsync on twos (for some reason 2D lipsync seems to always read better on twos). Props for doing 2D animation tho! :D

Great character movements. though, at times, it feels rather jumpy and janky between movements, though I love the dinosaurs as you can see below:

Dinosaurs!

Love it! Great expressions and movements. Work on that lip sync!
