Hi Newgrounds, I've missed you, even though the most of you probably don't know me anymore, perhaps, never have known me.

These past few years, I've been working on animations, although not in Flash format. I entered an art college, and I'm currently in my second year. There, I animate on plain paper with lightboxes and stuff.

Story:

The background of the movie is that the theme park got closed for some reason. An accident happened (the Wiggly Tower broke) and people died. As a closure, the panda (he was a mascotte of the park, and treats the park as his home), wanted to pay a hommage to the deceased. He puts effort into winning the price, treat it like a human and try to spend some quality time with it. In the end, when the day is over, he puts the doll into those chalk lines, one doll for every person who died.

It's really not clear in this movie, but for some reason, I wanted it to be a bit mysterious, as it is something that only I need to understand, and others don't necessarily have to.

Anyway, enough with the reading, go watch the freaking movie.

PS.: I'm too lazy to translate the few sentences that appeared in my movie, if you wonder what "Weifeltoren" means, it means something like "a wiggly tower" in Dutch, a wordplay on the Eiffel Tower.

Oooh i love the art style! Always nice to see some traditional art on the portal and i thought the sloppy colouring and crude sketchy pen strokes were very cool. The animation itself was okay but at times it it was a little awkward. When the protagonist (a bear?) was using the hammer at the start his pose looked uncomfortable and the way he landed on one leg poised like a ballerina just didn't look natural.
The sound design was pretty nice and the tunes were interesting enough, they fit the spooky fairground atmospehre nicely!
I suppose my favorite things where the art and the concept. The ending was interesting and i liked the idea of carrying round an inanimate lump on fairground rides. Made me smile when he fell off the merry-go-round. Good stuff!

The twist on this is as confusing as Donnie Darko, and thats why i love it,
The animation is interesting and acceptable, i knew this was going to end in tears,
There are so many questions going on in my head.

Not bad at all.
