this cartoon is about an alien
This was the first cartoon I've ever directed so sorry about it being kind of rough. I'm not super proud of it but I hope you enjoy it regardless. Animating is definitely something I would like to do more often.
This video was one of the 9 cartoons made for the Tornada 5 stream which you can see here.
Or you can watch all the cartoons individually here
Shoutout to HyperJam for helping me out with this. He did all the 3D backgrounds and compositing, without him this probably wouldn't have been finished.

Dana Snyder alien
I was thinking to myself "this alien sounds a lot like Scratch", then I saw the credits. How did you manage to get Dana Snyder?!
this makes me think of something like if The Amazing World of Gumball was able to have more mature themes and language, I absolutely loved it
the style was really charming, little Kaiser was adorable, and it seems like the voice actors in general were having a good bit of fun which obviously you love to see
looks a little off in some places like how someone else mentioned sometimes the characters look a little flat when compared to the 3d background but I'm personally seeing it more as like a style choice?
overall this was awesome to see, well done to everyone involved!!
I really like the characters, they're fun and they each play off each other pretty well. Dalia is the chill laid back kinda ditzy one, the friend with the glasses is the negative but secretly caring guy, and Kaiser is the innocent joyfilled main character.
I am a bit confused on who was who, since they barely used each others names. Not to mention the friend with glasses wasn't mentioned in the credits anywhere, only after rewatching the cartoon 3 times I noticed his name is Levi. The backgrounds are okay since they serve the animations purpose, but since they are 3d in some scenes the characters look a bit flat. Sometimes the rift was not moving when it was onscreen and the timing and lip sync is off in some scenes. With how much cracker jacks were mentioned (since they directly influenced the plot) they should definitely sponsor you haha.
My favorite bit was definitely the first scene, the dialogue is funny, the poses were really iconic and the timing was better in the beginning. The boarding/art direction is really good there, I was getting ian jones quartey vibes from the art style similar to how the first few episodes of steven universe looked (since they were boarded by him) which is a huge compliment, and the voice acting was great for those lines too, they really nailed it in that scene. The helicopter argument was funny too though. Despite the flaws I really like it, great job on this.
