Inspired by Japanese animation, watch a baby run through life. The gags are based on the eastern cultures as well.

The animator, Alfredo, has been in the industry for 20+ years.

Great Cell Shading. Overall good animation. Great effects!

Thoughts on improvement (because he asked):
- Vehicle movement could be faster and snappier.
- Walking could be smoother and more fluid.
- Pull the voices up and the sound/music down.
- New voice actors. Great voice effects on your emperor, but every other voice should be replaced in your sequel with professional actors. I can help you get them for free if you want.
- Make the first line in the description say: This is exclusive for YouTube.

Overall: If you got the voices/sound mixed better, new voice actors, and mention that it is exclusive to YouTube then this could have been featured (or perhaps the sequel can be).

Great job, Alfredo!

Take the animation advice with a grain of salt, though. You'll find that several of our animations aren't perfect and also have characters that are "wonky," a little "floaty," or "slide" at parts. That's the nature of the beast. You have to ship it sometime. LOL

However, we do have one we're finishing where we have "fully refined" the animation.

Here's another positive on Voiden: This is the best Poser I've ever seen, made even better with the cell shading. Great job!

The History of Animation 10 - Pat Sullivan: Felix Out of Luck (1921)

Here's another classic Felix film, Felix Out of Luck.



"Felix, having lost his home, his job and his girlfriend, grabs a pistol and decides to end it all. Before he can do that, however, he accidentally rescues Kitty, the farmer's daughter, from drowning. Just when things are beginning to look up, though, a big-city con artist shows up with designs on Kitty.

"Felix turns down several delectable meals--including some juicy bones and a nice mouse--because he says he's got a great meal waiting for him at home. However, when he gets there he sees a notice from his owner that says, "Be back in a week". He goes back looking for the bones but finds that a dog has already taken them, and the mouse isn't cooperating at all."

Old Reliable

"Even the most dependable of friends can let one down. Down the lost highway of MADNESS!"



I know he over-uses the music and monkey sound, but this had some good variety in the gags.

Bird Swatter

"Back in the day the birds were a plenty. We'd clean 'em up the ol' fashioned way!"



Grickle is hilarious. This is awesome, but it would have been better in color. Black and white without shades of gray just looks like line drawings that people don't want to watch. Their loss.
