Incredible. Love how you keep the sketchiness intact. All the characters were animated so well! I can really pick up on the transitions outside of all the key frames. So impressive!
Hope you're doing well. I'm always watching your work from afar

I love how you compared durian with an echidna! lol they're both so spiky~
and they way the echidna acted like the durian were it's babies was just so precious! >w< <3 <3

Just to clarify: Labu is a pangolin, not an echidna.

I'm sorry. I knew it had to be an anteater cause of it's tongue, so I thought maybe it was a spiky anteater (enchidna) even though they don't live in the forest or have a tail... "OTL *fail*
A pangolin makes so much more sense~ lol thanks for clearing it up~ ^0^ <3

Not at all, and no need for apologies! I'm pleased you even know what a pangolin (and an echidna) is, it's something I've had to explain to a lot of people.

Very cute.
I love the whole style of the animation, it's not that intense but not that dull either. ^^
You did a very good job.

Neat and cute... The characters are full of emotion, but still not too much, especially the pangolin.

OMG Swift! You're well on your way to making "full-length, serious, heavy-duty, I MEAN BUSINESS, animated feature" films! I'm seriously impressed with the skill and time you put into this! And of course, your beautiful artistic style translated perfectly into the animation arts! Who doubted that it would? NOT ME!

OMG YOU. thank you so much for this, and for all your support over these years! it's fantastic to hear from you and I hope life's been treating you well.
loooooove. thanks for believing in me, always.

EEE! 
I'm so behind on everything social on the internets!

the job and apartment stuff is fantastic! I'm sorry about family dramas but I'm glad you're not letting it get you down.
yeah, I had been behind too but I'm trying to get back in the game! life after school has been constantly stressful for me, but things are looking up. if you watch the Venture Bros (and if you don't, I recommend it), I've been interning at the company that makes it so I've actually been working on it. it's unpaid, but been a great experience and I've been doing commissions too. I've been offered a paid job starting next year at somewhere else, which is great. so all in all, kind of stressful, but I've found ways to cope. spending some time with my family right now which I really needed, they've come into NYC for Thanskgiving.

Might I ask how you made this? I mean, what program did you use? Just curious...

I don't think I've heard of AfterEffects...
Thank you, though.
