Beautiful short! The story is delightful, and I really love the ending - it brings a warm feeling. Love ourselves the way we are... Great animation. Thanks so much for sharing it with us all!

I love it. Especially I like the way you convert the old-school Chuck Jones style to 3D. Although I must agree with the above comment, that some holds seem to be a bit long, but honestly, I would be happy if I could reach your level...
I wonder if you read "Small Gods" by Terry Pratchett - a turtle in the desert doesn't seem to be the most obvious idea...
Again, congratulations to this great work!
Best luck in school!

Sweet! Very fun piece to watch. Made me smile.
Some of the technical stuff was sketchy at spots,
but hey, that's why you're in school. :o)
I gave it an 8.
Keep up the great work and keep growing.

That is a very VERY nice student film. I think the overall film is good enough as a whole that I am willing to overlook the modeling and lighting shortcomings. The character animation has flaws that compound the modeling and lighting issues.
The environment looks allright, your effects animation is fine. THe character models looks overlit and things like colliding surfaces (in the shoulder sockets etc.) become very glaring. Usually these kinds of things are easier to overlook when the character animation is VERY polished. You can do it I am sure with more time and practice. Work on some actions with the character you already have. Do some cycles, some acting. The timing is a big issue. Some things seem to hold too long and move too slow. Most noticeable is the anticipation on the turtles run when he gets his first wish. His pose is awkward when he turns his head so far back and holds for so long with out any REAL exreme.
Try this. Keep his head forward. His eyes on his goal. Use his body position and stance. It may be easier to go for a compressed stance. Right before he launches put in one frame of a real extreme. SO he maybe compresses, for 5 frames, then compresses extra tight for 1 frame before bolting forward.
Nice work! Keep it up!! I would hire you :)

Say hello to the critic ;)
Good idea/story..
Really good movement..
Different from all the violent movies out today ;)
Things that could have been better?
Perhaps you should have graduated with it..
What a waste on a second year ;)
