Here is its eulogy, a collection of the kind words written about it while still among the living. They shall live on forever in its place.

*UPDATE* Hundreds I mean literally hundreds of people are asking me about the music. The most common question is, who made them? It says on the credits... The holiday OST by Hans Zimmer.....
The songs used:
"Anything can Happen"
"Cry"
"Maestro"
*Warning. This is graphic heavy. Medium Quality is recommended... and flash 8 player*
Yeah I know, you guys haven't seen me do stuff for over a year now... Most of my stuff usually goes on other forums and my DeviantArt page.
Don't expect too much of this one, it does not have any complex full frame by frame animation like my On Your Mark p.1 for example. It's more supposed to be more of an emotional/moody experience, rather than having an all crazy action here and there footage.
This is based on an online comic from DeviantArt, simply called the "Balloon comic" by Emmy Cicierega!

Her comic style is hard to imitate for me in my opinion. I did the first 3 pages, but overall, I screwed up the designs. You can read the rest of the story here and see how it ends, its a great read.

Just listen. This is... perfection of epic scale. The music was maybe the best ever in ANY audiovisual production, and about the graphics... well only thing on NG that severly lags my pc.... and style, story and everything else was completely mint
I salute you for making this. It's the new ¨defination of awesome
That was fantastic! Superb! Definitely one of, if not the, best flash animations I've ever seen. The animation, the music, the style, all of it was great! I'm also already a fan of Emmy's work, so that was a major bonus (that's how I found this animation in the first place). I will definitely have to check out your works, now.
This is the best use of music i have ever seen so far from newgrounds. The low and deep humming sound added to the depth of the flash, and my breath was simply taken away by your animation.
This is the kind of reason why i am so hooked on newgrounds...
I didn't understand the story behind it but it was really great to watch. The music is beautiful. The art style is simple yet fantastic. It was almost like watching a painting on a canvas come to life. The overall atmosphere of this is relaxing, adventurous and uplifting. In short, it feels original because I have yet to see anything like this on Newgrounds. Great job.
