I liked it

It certainly wasn't perfect, but it was in a way touching, and very beautiful.

There were a few things I noticed however. They were only little barely un-noticeable things.
Firstly, in most scenes, the bird would have high levels of shading and the jungle creature didn't. This is ok if it was consistent as you can use it to show something about your characters, but in some shots the roles were reversed, or both characters had shading. This ended up annoying me.

Also, some of the movement wasn't timed quite the way I expected it. In a few scenes the jungle man gorilla thing seemed to float and glide instead of actually leaping. This sometimes acted in reverse, especially when the flower was growing. It was the sort of scene that deserved a slow cinematic.

These few things subtracted from the overall quality of the movie, but it was still great, and I'd love to see more.

P.S Can't wait for the game jam!

Quite impressive

This was fun to watch because the background animation was so great. It was a very strange cartoon as I was certainly not expecting the bird to die and then be brought back by a tree. I actually had some trouble trying to find out where the "Play" button was. It was not the words "play" as shown on the screen, but an actual "Play Movie" icon. The characters themselves seem to have more of a cartoonish design that contrasts with the more serious environment. The plant creature is still very well designed.

A Kind and Gentle Bitey of Brackenwood?

...It's very hard not to compare. Especially with the traveling through the forest scene.
Overall, the artwork and animation was excellent. A pleasure to watch. The story was short, and could have been developed more, but it didn't distract from the visuals. Nice use of details in the blur effects. Keep up the good work.

Thumbs up

Reminds me of the Bitey of Brackenwood series in the animation and content. Shorter than I'd expected but very good.

Your message is so pure, goosebumps when the tears fell
Realism/correct physics in the action of the humanbeing is quite messy though.
