I really really like this one. The drawings are pretty good (my main critique there might be proportions. For example, the body and hands look a bit too small for the head) but the animation is lacking. The timing/spacing is a bit strange, and there seems to be a lack of smooth inbetweens as well as some subtle shape changing (forearms between 145-172)

I think we've all seen Snow Bear by Aaron Blaise (or the Brother Bear movies) but the animation starts Disney quality and ends up "Good Student film" quality. Deadlines?

wow

The hand-drawn animation is extremely well done. The characters exhibit a great deal of fluidity in their movements, body language, lip syncing, and expressions. I also like their character designs and the setting. What I find most interesting is the use of bears, an anthropomorphic one and a teddy, as the concept seemed like a unique twist to deliver the dialogue.
Excellent work!
