I do feel honored ^_^ Thanks for the feedback!
love yoshi's story, and yoshi in general! you did a good job with the animation and had a lot of good jokes in here. keep up the good work!
Content is fine. While I didn't like it, I didn't hate it; im pretty neutral.
I found the sound work was pretty weak. For example, you had some very passive, non-exciting music play when Yoshi tripped. It just seemed so out of place; i'd like something a bit more psychedelic playing. I can't tell, but it seemed like songs from the games' soundtrack. It might seem fitting because its relative to the game, but for a tripping segment like that, it feels odd.
As for the animation and posing, I think the poses were alright and good for the most part, but you had a lot of twinning. By twinning I mean everything in the acting was very symmetrical; both hands were in the exact same pose many times (like if the left hand was raised, the right one was too, in the exact same position). Try for some more asymmetrical posing next time; I think you will find it more appealing and dynamic. Also, green Yoshi's eye twitch at the end was so slow moving and it looked weird independently animated - more muscles in the face should be moving when that happens (but this is heavily stylized so thats somewhat more acceptable).
While you avoided it for the most part, the times things were actually shaded, the saturation was way off and inconsistent. The apple at the beginning with red base color was very saturated, but the purple you chose to shade with was the opposite- hardly any saturation at all. When yoshi first started tripping, the colors and saturation on the few fruits you decided to shade were dramatically different than one another. Easy way to check this in flash is to grab the color with the color picker and select your color, then go to the saturation (S) bar and raise and lower the scales until you have something more consistent. Or beyond that, you could convert the object into a movie clip, mess with the saturation levels, eyedropper tool those colors and reuse them as you need them.
Also, the line-work was pretty inconsistent throughout.
Anyway I hope this helps somewhat. I'm not trying to be mean; I just see a few issues that I think need to be pointed out to help you. I have a lot of problems with my own work (some of these same ones) too. Good luck with future animations!
very good artwork funny but i have one question i see the green eggs but wheres the ham
