Nice animation overall

Craig P. Smith

Very good on the lip-syncing. That's the strongest part of your scene. The motions need to be cleaner and more believable though.

April Slocombe

While the movements are subtle, I like the cute character designs and the lip sync. Some more colour would have been nice as well.

Janice Liu

like that facial expression at 164 lol maybe some eye twitching would be funny to add to the movement

Linh Diep

Best part for me was the timing of all. It felt right. I really like how you put thoguht in the follow through with the ears and tail but maybe it was a little too much? (especailly the frames 41-72)
