a champion emerges
Exquisite work my friend. Simple story, interesting characters, dynamic angles, good music, and on top of all of this it's even clean of any sort of mature content. I think you made a very good compromise between animation quality and load time: choppy, but not nearly as much as most of the other flashes here; and fluid, but not to the point where its surreal and everything looks rubbery or rounded. And did you do the background scores yourself? The only way i could see you making this better is by possibly making the music in the tree hopping scene more intense.
