    It's good. It's guite long so it must have taken ages to animate.
  • Talking Animals plus 6 months ago
    from start to finish about 3 years. But it's hard to tell how much time actually went into it. Since we had to interrupt production for several freelance jobs. I think it came to about 2 years, plus minus a few months :)

    There's a song called "I'm On Everything" by Bad Meets Evil - this could be cut so easily into an unofficial (unlikely) music video for it.
