Just as a bit of advice, the pacing seems far too fast. You need to slow down and give each moment its own time.
I thought I show one of my old projects. This is my first attempt at animation. It had many issues but I had fun creating it.

Thanks for the advice. During that time I didn't understand timing.
This was pretty good for your first animation, I suggest creating construction lines to help draw your characters when animating so it doesn't look as choppy, and also adding more key frames to make inbetweens to improve that as well. I might also suggest looking up more sound effects, or recording your own. And one last thing, you didn't have enough show time for certain scenes, and it made it look like it jumped around a lot. Overall, you did good, just keep improving.
Personally, I learned from Chris O'neill (OneyNG) on how to animate, and he does a very good job at demonstrating basic animating skills with some comedy on adobe flash. I may also recommend draw with jazza (he has a 1.3 hour long video explaining EVERYTHING about animate cc). These are very good artist/animators to learn and look up to. Good luck.
Thank you for the advice
It was hard at times to tell what was going on, and some of the shots lasted for a bit to long. I did however like it. Theme was fun, and the skelies blowing up was nice.
not going to judge too harshly since its your first . But i will say this. Work on spacing and pacing. The actions that are happening are going by too fast. Since its hard for the animator to realize these types of issues since you know and are expecting the next scene , try to get a family member or friend to watch it and ask if they understood. Also i dont recommend using Flashs effects like the explosion one you used. It looks unnatural , its worth the time and effort to handcraft your explosions and effects. Thatl be all :)
Keep animating!
