For the author's for first movie, this is great.
Thankfully the author mentions "Kirby Kirby Kirby" as his first work, otherwise the overabundance of basic effects could've been seen in an immensely negative way. Beyond the freshman follies, though, lies a wonderful piece of animation, faithful to the Kirby universe's style and humor. The pieces of Kirby trivia in the preloader help nudge the overall presentation of the work that much more.
