I would be happy to hear Your critiques or answer on Your questions about this project.


hey, i really dig the combination of cartoon style + universal theme that anyone, especially kids can relate to in order to keep creative & open minded attitudes alive, also to breach / melt barriers in collaborating. Did u write it also ? keep up good work.

Yes, I wrote this story. I wanted to do every segment of production by myself, not because I believe that I some kind of a genius, but because I wanted to learn as much as I can from this project.

I had a mentor for this project, famous Eastern European 2D animator Rastko Ciric, which guidance affected a lot this project. Without his critiques it would be much more naive and rude.

I’m very pleased because this animation can communicate well with audience, because you successfully “read” the story. Thank you.
