silent animation with the exception to background sound music

Story/art
-black and white production
-art was a tad too bright
-unclear if the actions of the character talking was meant to be a mad lib scenario for the viewers. Where we are selves determine what was said during those moments. If that is the case it is different to say the least but i can see that working given how short the animation is. The only draw back to the mad lib approach is the sense you are missing a ... little from the plot.
-the underlining message to me was we as humans have the need to belong. This stems as early being an infant and craving attention. Which stemmed to needing friends. Then became needing money than needing a companion. While the message is not vocal pay attention to the character's height. Without being revealing to what happens in this movie let me tell you what could happen if one doesn't belong in life. Simply put we form negative opinions on ourselves with in a way shrinks something about us. Whether it is our self appreciation or what have you.

Character
could use some dialog.
