Okay..
Aesthetically, I really liked the movie. I wasn't very fond of the message, however. Haven't you heard the term, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder?" It's implied that the "good" guy somehow deserved more recognition, but isn't this just a condescending thing to say? I mean, there's a lot of things which I believe to be stupid and overhyped which get inordinate amounts of attention, but I generally don't feel resentful or superior to those who enjoy it. It's very close to straight-up snobbery.

Thats one way of looking at it.
But try looking at it another way.
Open your third eye.
Imprefect metaphor,
but the point definitely gets across. I think in general this cartoon is referring to illwillpress and foamy. I can't say a disagree.
Alright animation, good message.

Very nice work.
I really enjoyed it, for both it's more obvious and deeper meanings, not to mention the great art styles and animation.
The story is simplistic at face value, but you really tell it well, providing a nice look into how the people who aren't as deserving, but come up with a single good idea, overshadow the other artists who try hard but never get noticed. I liked the cameos to newgrounds such as the scoring for the artwork, and the administrator's name. It seems you were comparing the artist who made all the money to illwillpress, with providing a few specific details along the way, including the scene when the artist hears about a hurricane, and then goes to make a drawing about it. Other things include how the character the artist created always rants about hating things, and his fanboys attack anyone who insults his work.
The drawing style was really unique, and the way you use very light/happy colors for the one artist, while using an oppisite color style for the other, more negative artist. It shows your attention to detail when creating the movie.
Your drawings for the characters for the most part were pretty simple, and not to detailed, but they are still well done nonetheless. The t-shirt company person really freaked me out the first time I saw it though. Some of the flashes between scenes with the subliminal words were kind of annoying though. I liked most of your backgrounds, as many of them seemed to have a nice pastel look to them, which was interesting to watch.
The music wasn't something that I would listen to, because it's not really my taste, oh well.
Overall it's a very well made movie that pays a lot of attention to detail when setting the mood, and has a very good message to those artists or animators who get left in the dust.
