Not counting what others have said I understand the style you were aiming for great job. Not to many people know what the orginal cartoons were like. Steamboat Willy was great at the time and you have done a good job of capturing the spirit of the past while adding a good Steam-Works theme. I hate the sound of steam"punk" it sullies the Victorian spirit.

@RebelMerc

I agree with your feelings about the term "Steam-punk", not as refined a word as one might hope for such a genre.

I have been looking all around YouTube for unique animation and this is awesome! It reminds me of Steam punk. I wish this could be a tv show.

Thanks man. Happy you like it. I'm thinking of doing some more in the same style.

Not so magnificent... although better than i could do right now, it still needs work. If its a beginners work, good job, keep up the progress, but try adding in some 3d rendering and break out of just using two programs. Or at least use their abilities a little better. add a background some atmosphere and sound or better use of the silent film style, and you'll have a winner. :)

Well I did it in a weekend with no budget or crew... so thanks I guess. Let me know when you have some stuff to show. 3D is for 3D, this was about animating traditional mediums.

But thanks for the input none-the-less.
