Nice one. I immediately imagined the sound of a cheap music box in the end, only 3 notes repeated endlessly.

The wave pattern should be reserved for water IMO.

Nice one, but it would be better with more cartoony particles, I think.

I really like how scrambled up Paper looks as he bumps on the ground. It reminds me of the way insects curl up!

A suggestion is to rework the squash and stretch on the wheels a little bit. After a while they become elliptical. If you're showing speed, I would think that you want the round part of the wheels to appear stretched horizontal, and the diameter line that's rotating on axis will get longer and shorter to fill that visual distortion. It looks like you did it this way early in the scene. But later on, the diameter is on the widest part of the wheel so the wheels actually became elliptical instead of the ellipse serving as an optical illusion caused by speed. Although that may have been an indication that the wheels were physically deformed by the speed of the rocket?

Thanks the wheels were made like that on purpose but I agree it does look wrong so I'll change them back, thank you.

That was hilarious. :D I wasn't expecting that sort of movement of the trebuchet.

Actually that's the first and only one I HAVEN'T liked. But I'm sure there's room in Happy Land for all of us!

Thinking of lightening it up a little bit:

In any event I'm on 41. 11 to go.

Test 8 with the hat is great. I like Heavy's mouth shape. But whatever happened to teamwork? ;) Perhaps Sun needs to lay the smack down. hehe

In test 7, I felt that the hand broke the spell of Happy Land a little. Of course that's probably what you were going for. :)

I can't believe you've already made 41 of these! I'll admit that when you said your goal was to make 52, I thought you were nuts. I stand corrected! :D
