I'm not going to harp a christian anthem, however topically I find this animation starved of any real content. Your view of Easter, the passover and fasting are hackneyed and shallow. I'm right there with people in protesting against the extreme and objectifying commands of the old testament but surely your ignoring the fact that Easter's profound due to it's emphasis on family unity and the message of a saviour. I agree the ties of the past linger on in fasting but the generations of kids growing up today are becoming more and more undisciplined, you just have to look at the underage pregnancies, premature alcohol abuse and hedonistic selfishness that the world has become so liberally associated with.
Shit, I do seem christian in saying that but the easter bunny isn't gonna do fuck all for anyone. It's a simple opium for kids that replaces the ethics and discipline that older generations gripped tight to. I'm caught in the middle between christians that are far too conservative to embrace modern world values, shovelling beliefs in peoples faces and self-worshipping atheists who're far too pretentious to see that they're irritating people who keep their beliefs to themselves.
Either eat chocolate and rot in a box or eat chocolate and hope for the best.
While i'm reviewin' your mic quality is terrible and muffled, though I love your animation style, it's kinda reminiscent of some cartoon I used to watch but cant quite remember. Anyways, good luck with your future submissions.
Not to detract from the author's experience or his observation of other's participating in easter/passover, but the one's i've attended with my jewish/presbytarian/baptist friends are kickass and nothing like what's depicted here. I was not gonna post but saw all the anti-religious comments coming in and changed my mind.
I have studied and even celebrated passover before haha it is nothing like that. The calender is wrong passover only happens one day. And you are only supposed to eat food without leaven, for example yeast or baking soda. It is not as bad the animator makes it out to be. Would be funny if i hadn't known the truth so ill be generous.
