I saw this comic a few months ago i believe and i thought it was great. I didnt read the description, but i instantly knew you were illustrating it. It was stunning. Great music. Beautiful animation. You should be very proud.

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.

You did a very well done emulation of the comic. The art style was nicely done, and the backgrounds were beautiful. The quality of animation was amazing and the story was great.
There were a few things that bugged me, however. The fist was that the arms didn't seem to move naturally. I understand this problem, but it is a pet peeve of mine. My only other gripe was the fact that the flash wasn't the whole story. I personally would love it if you were to make a sequel that told the rest of the comic.
Very well done. Almost like Phantasia
one of the most touching newgrounds vids yet other than "the composer"!
This goes higher than a ten, this was purely epic. My favorite flash ever created on any website ever. I loved this and it truly touched me. This is my favorite.
