This is just plain funny. Lots of exaggeration here, the kind you can hardly achieve in AS - you just need to work frame-by-frame for that. Stylewise the video is a catastrophy - lots of stuff not really fitting together, IMO. But then there's so many nice details in there as well, like:
- differently coloured trouser legs
- very loose movements
- very exaggerated exaggeration
- the jumping sun has follow-thru in the flares

Each to his own. I couldn't get more than halfway through it -- the dirge-like song, all the animation at the same pace, the poor colour palettes... Ugh!

Ha ha that was fun.

My favourite is the rat chowing the cheese at about 2:15.

I thought the color palettes were on the muddy side. Especially as it relates to the use of "magic mushrooms". Does anyone think the colors are muddy because of compression decompression schemes or just poor color choices?

Poor choices, I'd say. I didn't say it's a good movie. But it certainly goes into a direction I'd like to see more examples of.

hmm..i liked it.

I'm color blind...so I don't know how effective my opinion really is but I thought the color scheme worked nicely. It added to the "trippy" effect that they seemed to be going for. I thought it was over all a very interesting animation. There were a lot of different styles mixed in there, but I don't think it really hurt the animation at all, just added on to that awkward feeling.

I liked it
