Very good.
Fav'd.
It was really awesome. The style was good, the music was good, story was good. I expected a bit more to happen, but it's great nonetheless.
Keep it up!

A truly great work of Flash animation. It has that epic scope to it, when all it is is a tale of a man and his shovel... and, of course, the beautiful town he founds. Whether it be Europe or America, this is a tale that applies everywhere. It's a story that the human collective often overlooks, but rings true more than any action movie or knight vs. dragon myth.
And what's more, the animation itself is beautiful. Maybe it's not something from Disney, or Pixar, or whatever. But even when zoomed in the little blob like eyes, mere dabs from a paintbrush for anyone else, suddenly take on emotion. The way the eyes communicate that he's thinking/pondering at the very end, that's true animation right there. The attention to detail is superb as well, though at the very end the corn patch on the right doesn't look complete; only two out of the three rows grow anything, unlike the patch on the right. But that doesn't even begin to marr this freaking sweet piece of work.
So, kudos to you Mr. Parker, and two thumbs up. And screw what people like Pen0rSeckz say, it's not supposed to be photo-realistic. It's meant to tell a story, which it accomplishes beautifully.
