@shalombenjamin91 Thanks! It's handdrawn, coloured in Photoshop and composited in AfterEffects

I loved the story and thought it was interesting, could have been a bit happier though?

[slurpystudios]

Yeah, sorry about the lack of a happy ending! They could've held hands and waltzed off in to the sunset- that was the original ending, but I was in a bad mood the day I came to animate it!

[MYemoCHILD]

This is actually making me want to play Scrabble now...
