[declan3906]

Yeah i like that hen att he beginning, the way it moves... Only to become KFC, some bland spices with well ladden fats that look all tasty but are no good for you at all. sorry was someone stating the obvious

[GorgeousGirlSinger]

That was really good.

[broughtskin]

thats so nice!!!

[Sherise69]

nice

[AverageAmanda]

Amazing. :]

I LOVE technology and the people who use it to it's fullest!! XD

[SterlingCanada]

Great animation! As for the last 10 seconds that are missing, you could try uploading it again to see if it works. It may have been a connection problem when you uploaded it.

[Paul186]

You found your own "ani-voice(visual style)."

I think it's your own equation of economy in your lines

and panels. Very inspiring.

[treesie69]

That's AWESOME! What a great message to teach those of us who have been more fortunate in life!

[brentandfern]

excellent

[alittlepinkfreak]

This would be totally cheesy if you didn't make it awesome with your art.

[FreeBird914]

Wow... that was really good.

[MrFunii999]

[Morvix5]

the ending was kinda loud and i went "shit" cuz my volume was up

[greeknerd77]

powerful...

[popcarla17]

wow cool^^

[ra0ul]

The style is very strong but i find the scripting a little flat, especially when contrasted against such a dynamic way of presenting the information.

[Hitamaru]

started "cutting"... i know i dont suppose to laugh but that was 'effin funny.

[xoImustBeMe]

What's wrong with you?

[Hitamaru]

ITS NOTHING WRONG!!! >.< It's jus cause its funny and i couldn't help but to laugh. Cause like emos cut theirselves to "make them feel alive",and when she said it that popped into my head and i spilled my coke ;(

[Jmbis25]

You're a horrible person!

[Hitamaru]

no i'm not >.<!!! I said i don't suppose to laugh. It's not like i insulted her. and i really didn't.

That was great. Are they using that for a TV commercial or something? It would be a great PSA.

[iucniael]

[Night3001]

Great job. I like your style of animation; there is something very inviting about it. And the fact that you have a social message is a bonus. It's nice to see something positive.

This is great, beautiful.

You are incrediably talented and the Youth Home was lucky to have you available to do this.

[obh2os]

It is a joy to watch you develop, not only artistically, but socially, as well. Keep it up, make a living,.... and keep caring about others!

[sorinagavrila]

bravo!! good job!!

[kimandersonart]

Ben, I'm the Development Director at the Youth Homes and wanted to thank you for your talent and generosity with this work. Its amazing and more than we had dreamed of...everyone should know how great you were to do this on short notice with little compensation. You definitely deserve more and we appreciate your time, talent and gift. THANKS so much, this will help out a lot.

[bentarthur]

Thank you so much for your kind words, I enjoyed working on this, I drew the kids so many times, I almost felt like I knew them in some way. I hope they like the finished animation!

[kimandersonart]

The kids absolutely loved it. They were very excited about it, really interested in how you did it and liked that it was them but also managed to keep their confidentiality. It was perfect for us. Also, we sent the link to our Board Members and others...we are receiving amazing feedback and everyone is really taken with it. Thanks again for this beautiful gift!

[vaodsi]

AWESOME!!!!!!

[hellointernet]

nice work. i like the silhouette at the end, where each person pops up in detail inside it. really nice.

[flyingbird5]

Awesome work.

[rorrt]

i love it, its not overly sentimental like some awarness videos ive seen that i think "i cannot take this seriously" but i thought it was'nt patronising, BEAUTIFUL animation...

[gardenwife]

The line drawings are simple and undemanding on the eye, making the voices sound out loud and clear. Great job on this. It's very effective!

[metalrockerdude]

awesome

[priyalala]

Wow - this is beautiful. Thanks for gifting us all with your talent. Looking forward to more.
