I spent a long 4 days learning flash before I finally finished this semi-stick figure movie. And after finishing this movie I decided to save my more artistic pieces until I could draw/animate better so that the seriousness would not be diluted with poor quality, which is why there is a large purge of comedy pieces (since they can look uber crappy and no one cares).
And one of the particular complaints about the music wasn't entirely just because they didn't like the song, it was the quality. I could only find the live version, and any studio ones were from the 80's keyboard era and I didn't want them silly synth pads.
**Fun Fact: I animated this entire cartoon based off a MIDI file without knowing what the lyrics were. Luckily enough my animation matched the words quite well when I inserted the actual song.
