Thank you!
Thirteen minutes of brilliant visual storytelling. The style is unique; although it reminds me of several stop-motion styles it isn’t any of them, it definitely has its own qualities. The sound effects fit nicely and some of the visuals had me laughing, like the shooting star. Lovely work.
