...but I still found this enjoyable to watch and pretty funny. I can't give it a "10" or even a "9" because it's not really a full film, just a kind of behind-the-scenes thing. But it was well-made. It relies almost entirely upon the script and the voice acting, and luckily both of those things are done well.

It did start off promisingly and the mouth animation fit the words pretty well. The voice acting starts out good, but gets pretty bad at the end.

The crude joke at the end (even with the subtext) just didn't appeal to me, and since this was such a short film which relies almost entirely on that one joke, this means that the film didn't appeal to me either. That's all there is to it.

I can see by the scores of "10" reviews below that I'm in the extreme minority. (though I wish that some people wouldn't give "10" to everything that they like... that's what every score above "5" is for...)

...simply amazing, and great fun to listen to. Unfortunately, I didn't like the animation or art style at all. This is just personal taste, but I found the character designs and the way they moved to be really unappealing. I think maybe it was the constant smug face expressions and cheesy dance moves that really got to me. Though I did like how freely you animated in some places. The direction was... OK for short stretches of time, but there was too much repetition and you kept following the song literally (to the point of just showing words on the screen much of the time) instead of riffing off of it and doing something unique.

So my overall impression is decidedly mixed.

As the guy below me said, it's pretty repetitive. Make it more interesting by having the piano part develop instead of just repeating the same thing over and over. Oh, and make the strings louder; I can barely hear them right now.

This is one of my favourite pieces. The ABA structure works as a great framework, and I love the melodies and harmonic progressions. There is also so much going on in terms of variety of instrumentation, so many interesting and skillfully-employed combinations, that if one starts to mentally separate the different parts a pretty complex picture emerges. But it is a complicated puzzle that fits together like a glove; it is very easy for the oblivious casual listener to simply sit back and listen to this in tranquil enjoyment. It all "just works".

Thank you Simon.

00:00-00:16 - excellent start. Catchy melody, emboldening and interesting accompaniment.

00:16-00:32 - repeat with another pattern behind, also very interesting. Nice progression.

00:32-00:40 - a bit of a loss of energy here...

00:40-00:45 - picks up nicely

00:45-00:49 - I would've liked more of a contrast here - even more peaceful before the resumption of energy at

00:50-00:55 - I liked this section

00:55-1:09 - I guess this is the transition into theme 2... it's ok, though it sounds a bit too much like the beginning of a new theme for me

1:10-1:20 - a nice theme 2

1:21-1:53 seems like a repeat of 00:17. I would've liked to hear theme 2 develop more before repeating that; we only heard it once...

1:55- theme 2 again

2:17 - it seems like it's going into theme 1 again, but you actually cleverly make it go back to an inventive and interesting extension of theme 2. It goes through some interesting key (I'm not sure which) before going to the conclusion. I would've liked to see this extension the first time around in the middle of the piece, since I feel the first introduction of the second theme was far too short for comfort.

Really, the piece has a bit of an odd structure, and isn't quite as balanced as it could be...

However, you suck less than me (see my comment on your recent news post), so take my opinion with a grain of salt. :)

The playing (if playing it was) was quite beautiful, and the sound quality is great.
