Odd but in a good way. I like lay animation even tho the stop motion needed a biiiiiiiit better timing but it doesn't even matter. Good work!

dope and twisted. good work

Cool Claymation

So these "CLAY-MATION-TYPES" are really nifty they bring a new style of animation and thats what you have here but I have to say that this was a good entry with some nice "CLAY-ELEMENTS" about it and I was geneunly pleased with all the clay action in this fim so nice job here.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
I would throw in some flashy effects more then you have now and really keep it exciting but what you have now is pretty good.

thank you very much for your comment and advice.
It's nice to read constructive comments from people who can appreciate the short despite all the technical limitations and not. thanks

It starts just like it does in the movie! :D Or... at least features a similar scene. Memories blur regarding the original. Really cool how you build up the atmosphere with that red light, and the sudden alien apparition: pretty creepy! But then it moves on to a whole new ball game, and the ending... oh man, can't stop laughing. XD How this combines such a hybrid of violence and love and manages to both induce fear and hilarity all the way... such a strange combination. It works though. Masterful work.
