in an alternate universe, there in no volcano eruption & the movie ends ;)

I liked the elegance of the animation, discreet movements yet conveying honest feelings, also well timed (not too fast or slow), smooth and with a balanced pacing (again, not too fast or slow). Also enjoyed the amount of details on the backgrounds, enough to be a pleasant view while not calling too much attention to themselves. In addition I commend the use of lighting, producing clarity on the visuals and some well-measured shading as well. I laughed at the meta animation program joke near the end. What would take for a 5/5 from me would be a better lip sync to the VAs lines on the first half of the short, as I considered those and the mouth motions dissonant.
