some selected aspects
===================
+++++ Everything is brilliantly set to the music. Everything happens to the rhythm, with a change in the music coinciding with changes in scene. The sfx in the music are so brilliantly used that I'm still not sure if you added any sounds of your own or not.
++++ Great expressions.
++++ Really nice colours. I like the washed out blue scheme you use in the bg and the bright, almost garish, colours work well for the tone.
+++ I specially like the 'pow' with the dots making the 3d shadow of the letters.
+++ I also like the hairy ankles of the lady in the end.
----- I HATE flashes that start up automatically when loading. As it can take a while to load (specially for anyone with a slower connection), it seems unreasonable to ask everyone to be waiting when it starts.
+++++ The animation throughout is great. I specially like the scene with Murray picking up the bat so smoothly and the part right at the end as Murray runs to the bad dude and the camera wobbles.
++++ Your trademark bitmaps help break up the movie and give it a bit of diversity.
++ The 'page turning' transition was really nice.
overall
========
Probably my favourite animation on the internet in terms of entertainment value. I put off reviewing it simply because back then I was worried about not being able to do it justice in words.
Watched it tens of times. Funkiest thing ever, quite possibly.
The auto-starting does really annoy me, but when the movie's as good as this, I can live with it.
Thank you, Luis, for making this. A wonderful animation that makes me smile every time I watch it; that makes me sway along to the groove, that makes me feel the funk.
