A very good piece

The background art was very nicely done. Some of the foreground didn't quite live up to the same standard, but this was easily ignored due to the general professionalism and artistic vision of the work as a whole. I felt that the slightly cartoonish expressions of the fish were a little inappropriate, but again, this was easily forgiven. Some of the wide shots that showed off the more massive elements of the world were very impressive and well pulled-off. I also commend you for having the courage to pace this how you wanted to, which I think really paid off. It didn't seem particularly long or drawn out at all – it seemed to be the natural length for this particular story. All in all a very well executed animation. Well done.

Good Job.

That was a very impressive flash. However, the music got very old, the story needed more flesh to it, and since the background was so great, I don't understand why you didn't take the time to do a good job on some of the animals in the story, it would be easy with your talent to fix them (particularly the sheep.) There is no need to be so mystic about the mythology you have in it, it's clear that it comes from something the way you wrote it, and would probably add to the story if you explained it better. Also, in the beginning where the view shifts around from place to place and animal to animal, more than anything else that was just confusing and I honestly believe you did it only to show off. Sorry, but it's my honest opinion. If you want to show other animals in a story about fish and peanuts, expand the thesis or make a different flash with a different thesis.

I can see why you made this.

I've always wondered how those fish got in there,
You did an amazing job,
I liked how you combined two different art styles,
It's hard to find submissions like these
on New Grounds,
usually it's all action,
Bravo!

.

really enjoyed the beauty of the artwork, but it just seemed kinda slow. i know it was meant to be, but it just felt like it dragged a little too much. and i understand what you mean but the little fish inside the peanuts, and i get the whole "circle of life" thing...... but really.... the peanut thing was just anti-climactic. peanuts are goofy. haha, i still enjoyed it alot.
