Great clip! I like the first scene with the book; one thing I would watch here is the grip that Mery (I believe that's the rig) has on the book with her left hand. I think the angle is a bit extreme and as a result causes the weird pinching of the mesh. I like the zoom out as well to Malcolm, but I think the paralyzed movements could be a bit more subtle.

All the movement feels very stiff, except the frog jump, which looks like a stock/pre-made animation

Kyra Simone

Neat detail! Needs more dramatic anticipation for these dramatic poses.

Cristian

Everything from the staging, shot selection to the lip-sync and body movements, is very impressive. I really did quite enjoy this animation.

The only critique I have is that the story is well done, but generic, and in some frames, I can see Malcolm clip through the floor.

regardless, great job.

I liked it until the very end. I have no idea what happened to the girl.
