Thank you!
Amazing
This is by a large margin my new favourite flash on Newgrounds. I love the simplicity, the art and the choice of music.
When the little man started running along those steps and the music started, I knew it was going to be a lovely film. One of my favourite parts was when the man was running along that street of houses, I noticed the attention to detail when you made the closer houses fly by quicker. It also made me think about the little abstract city in which the man lives.
My absolute favourite was when the man was falling through the sky and to my relief, he catches an umbrella. There is superb timing with the music in the way that it changes from a faster pace to a slow piano tune. It completely changes the mood. I loved the bit with the staircase, mainly becasue you actually spent the time cutting out the pieces in between the banisters. The bit at the end was something I loved as well. The why in which the man just sailed away on that ornament, it's nice and cute.
All in all, a fantastic watch 10/10

In that case I think we need to make a journey film like this together some time!
I'm entangled in its web!
It sucked me in and wouldn't let me go... then it finished and I was free again, and all the wiser for the experience.
The contrast of the vector character interacting with all of the scanned background elements was interesting and I loved the effect you used when the bird god took hold of him.
MorrowDays responds:
thanks boogley! I think I need to do some more stuff with scanning, I haven't been back to that in a while.
Awesome
I just lik how the guy walks lol
I loved it!!
That was AWESOME, don't listen to TheDevilMyself I know him, hes kind of a perfectionists. But your little imperfections didn't even matter cause this cartoon pwned. I love the style of scanning pencil on notebook paper. I've, in alot of my toons scanned watercolor paintings I made. Check out my "everything is a balloon", it kinda reminded me of this. Anyway, awesome style, I was a little disappointed at first because I thought it was a loop but than it transfered into awesome. I'm putting this in my favorites for sure. 5/5!!
MorrowDays responds:
Hey, appreciated. Thedevilmyself seems to have some points, but I'm not like, mad or anything, he gave good advice. I checked out your "everything is a balloon" cartoon, its really cool, and totally reminds me of "the stroll" too!
My sister thought the same thing about it being a loop. :)
Thanks for the review!
