Showdown in Chinatown

This was our attempt at this 48 hour film festival thing a couple of months ago. We didnt finish. We took inspiration from Don Hertzfeldt and did something similar to his Welcome to the Show shorts, because well, its quick and easy. Also, I had already established the square characters from earlier cartoons I made, so I figured "lets use them." Rather than create new characters. It was a labor of not love... But it was a labor.

The topic was Addiction, and we had to use in word or picture form an apple and a pencil.

Music is in order of whats played:
Tchaikovsky- Waltz from Serenade for Strings
Mozart- Dies Irae

All sound effects, including the apple line, acquired from http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/
(sound used under a creative commons)

Written, animated, directed, and edited by Michael

Voices:
Square 1: Bachman
Square 2: Michael

Thats about it. Enjoy.

Oh and if the sound is not in synch, that is not our fault. The stupid uploading process does that.

Edit: It is clear that some people have come with the intention of being dicks, and nothing more. From this point forward any comment not offering honest criticisms free from idiocy will be deleted, and the user will be blocked. Thanks.

i didnt understand a fuckin word of it but 1 : 56 was funny. u didnt think any1 was gonna suspect that u copied it from don hertzfeldt!?

[Gabachael]

Didn't suspect that I copied it from Don Hertzfeldt? Who is hiding anything? Its in the information that its inspired by Don's work. I didn't make any attempt whatsoever to hide that. People just don't take the single minute it would take to read the information.

@ch972008 you are obviously a small child trying to look older and tougher on the internet. That is all. You may take that or leave it be.
