I really liked this animation, the fact that the janitor is deaf and the way you lead the viewer to that concept is very interesting. Keep up the good work!

Me gustó mucho esta animación, el hecho de que el conserje es sordo y la forma de llevar al espectador a ese concepto es muy interesante. Sigan con el buen trabajo!

This short demonstrates that you don't need super animation to show a good and enjoyable story.

Loved that beautiful melody and accompanying imagery!!!!!!!!!
This held quite the Fantasia vibe as well as an impressive underdog story.

As a musician who is not the best at following exactly what someone does on the piano or improvisation, it seemed preety far fetched that a janitor would be able to play such a remarkable piece... but nevertheless the janitor did play a remarkable song that probably came straight from his soul. I think that is the real gem from this.

What a remarkable dramatic movie. The animation itself was simplistic, however it took nothing away from the premise, that goes from being extremely sad to nothing short of inspirational. The beautiful notes of the piano and the visuals that come with it add to the atmosphere toward the end, and when he initially messed up the notes, I was actually holding my breath in hope that he would get it right! It's really an amazing thing when a movie draws you in, and you took that and went a mile with it. A truly outstanding piece of work!
