Although this is ancient by now, its still good enough to be featured for a second time i think on the front page.

The animation is a lot smoother than the others (higher framerate?). The characters have more detail than the last one, and have better shading and movement. The backgrounds were much better than the last, as there are actually backgrounds as to just a random single tree. The middle of the animation was a lot better and seemed if more effort had gone into it than near the ending (frog conversation).
The jokes i dont understand having never played Animal Crossing, but i guess this has been made for fans of Animal Crossing, so i wont comment on them.
The voices were clear as usual, yet it seems the quality might be lacking as the elephant and frogs voice were muffled (or just had stereotypical accents). The sound effects were good, though they seemed to be a different volume to the voices, but it was anything drastic.
I didnt really enjoy it due to having not played Animal Crossing, but im sure the fans of it will enjoy it.
Though i dont get what the easter egg is all about...

I think it was all tweened, but i guess you put some effeort into the voices and sound effects (they werent bad). The jokes were ok, though fridges and freezers cant be opened from the inside :). I loved the fridge scene it looked very good, you rarely see shots like that in animations. Caramelldansen chiptune music in the credits was a bonus (and the sprite dance). I enjoyed it, hope to see more from you in the future.

I wanted to try something a bit different with the fridge thing, and, like you said, you don't see shots like that in cartoons anymore.

Youve always had a way of doing simple yet effective animations, not to say theyre simple to produce, just minimalist. This reminded me of Chris Cunninghams video for 'All is Full of Love', in a machines emotion kind of way.
You seem to have portrayed an "attachment" (i think thats the theme) from each of the machines, one much broader, like a male and one much sleeker, like a female (plus it has breasts) attached to each other. They slowly move away from each other until he wire attaching them separates them, showing what looks like a jigsaw piece coming from the chest/heart area (if it was a human).
The male machine proceeds to look for more pieces to match his, yet turns to alcohol (i think, it was in a shot glass after all) to fill that missing piece in "his" heart. "He" then sees the female machine "attached" to another male machine, to which he falls "down to earth" to which he walks out of view.
I think i might have misunderstood some parts, yet i fully enjoyed this animation, like most of your other works. Im not sure how this didnt receive a mention or a reward though. :(
Hope that doesnt demotivate you.

Most of these parts were just trying to hard to be funny using old worn out cock jokes. I see what Stamper meant when he said about the mass horde of shit submissions. I know people will say "id like to see you do better" and that bullshit, but i think this really was one of the worst collaborations ive seen in a long time.
I watched all the hidden animations and i would of preferred them to be in the main sequence over some of the other rubbish that was in there. To think these were some of the best that were sent in. Makes me wonder if disc 2 will even be worth watching.
ps. Feel free to mark this as useless, its still a lot more helpful than "OMG I LOVE FUCKING STAMPERS PART LOL AND COCK JOKES".

There was no background score at all, i mean how can you get the audience in the mood with no music? The sound effects were at different sound levels and were not the best quality, you would had done better recording your own SFX.
The animation wasnt bad apart from the replaying, you showed the icicles "sparkling" then proceeded to show it again and again. You only have to show people once that "this object is pointy and sharp". You dont need to show it 4-5 times to let the audience understand that, in fact i dont think any effect was necessary as the audience will understand what going to happen anyway.
This animation could be done much better, and it shows how useless those "beta viewers" you showed it to were not to tell you that.

Uses a similarity of men taking a shit, as women giving birth. Its a good way of portraying it, as the ending takes an abrupt turn as the man is shown eating the "baby". I liked it, it was short, sweet and yet such "crude" humor (no offence).
I enjoyed it, hope to see more like this.

The animation was good and the voices were a bit funny. Ended quite suddenly though. Still it wasnt terrible, apart from the credits music.
