Grass design needs to be more clean, because from my personal opinion the grass design looks a little to sloppy!!!!

Very cool Michael! I'm very proud of you for entering in this months competition.

I would have like to have seen more acting choices from both bears. We see a lot of the brown bear, but not a lot of the panda. I would have also like to have seen more fingers on the bears...right now they have more of mitten hands then claw/bear hands.

Love the feet swinging. Background is a little too plain for me, i would have dulled the colors a little bit, (less saturation) to make your characters pop out a bit more.

Can't wait to see the other competitions that you plan on entering in. Keep it up!!

LOVED THIS... really good timing, animation is cute and snappy which show a maturity as an animator. characters are interesting and original. I just viewed 200 of these and your staging was a breath of fresh air. The one small critique I do have is the eyes of both bears. It could be a personal preference but the plain white eyes seems a bit stiff and might distract from the overall cuteness of the piece. Maybe a pupil dot... so they don't look like zombies :)

Most glaring problem is poor lip-syncing. Neat concept, though.

You've done a lot of 2D work here, with decent polish. I'd really work on your lines of action, as well as overlap and follow through - these characters are straight up and down for most of the scene, and when they're both visible their poses don't interrelate very much.
