Amazing animation...reminded me of the good points of my childhood..enjoyed it thoroughly
Michael Ablinger 7 months ago

Wow, great job! How long did it take?
Izabela Melamed 7 months ago

It's difficult to say how long exactly it took me for the animation. I started it long time ago, maybe in 2005, but then there was a gap of many years, when for some reason, I wasn't able to work on the drawings - until the last year. It's still difficult to calculate the actual time because I worked on this film only in my free time.

Lloyd Metcalf 7 months ago

The pencil lines really add energy to the animation. I like the way you keep the paper feel with an off white look. Reminds me of newsprint.
A great story line, really well done.

Steve Lawson 7 months ago

Wow, some of the best traditional animation thechnique I have seen! Everything was masterful, but I'm especially impressed with the hands through the hair at 00:38 and when the old woman turns in her bed at 1:22 and when the boy does a full turn at 1:34 and all the other little face turns and hand turns, etc. Those are hard to render smoothly and you did it with superb skill! The story is delightful and the characters full of life and expression. Magical and sweet!

I Love to see the old style animation. Old cartoons always beat out what they call cartoons today. Cartoons are supposed to be funny and or entertaining. Today's , so called cartoons aren't even animations. They certainly are not entertaining like this. :)
