Well Gav, good work!
The only thing negative I can say is that the voice samples sound a little low quality, which is more noticable next to the music which sounds fine.
Apart from that though I thought you did a really good job here - lots of laughs and a really pro feel to the animation.

Good one mate, look forward to the next *cracks whip* :P

Cheers Moonstone,
By voice samples do you mean the sfx?

Cheers to Nigel, Bohannon, and Mr Lee.

Chris I agree we probably could of extended the stills a bit, it'll be something I look at.

Merry Christmas G! *does Ali G style finger clicking thingy*

Yeah, sorry Gav I don't even know why I put voice now :S
The sfx - they sound like you've downloaded them from a free site with low q aamples. I'm into music production so it grates on my ears but maybe noone else is bothered I don't know?

Anyway, if it's any help, this is a nice site for finding free sounds and it tells you the quality of each sample plus there's a preview button to make sure.

As I say, the music sounds spot on though, and the animation looks fantastic. The close up of the child's face at the beginning is very funny :)

Cool thanks for the link. I'll check it out, there were alot of clips to make up that piece.

Cheers for the feedback mate :) I'll try and improve on it for next time.

You have one year - go!

It doesn't need improving on mate. I know the sound is such a minor thing I just thought it might help.

Out of interest, are you going to make a full episode one day, or is that just too much to take on?

I hope to do a couple more sketches to take us til end of Feb. Then maybe a full episode.

How long will a full episode take?!

Just copy n paste Newmans head's onto an episode of The Simpsons ;)

We're trying to make it funny ;)
