The crisp color really make the opening appealing along with the spot on capturing of the art and animation it parodies. But man, it's been a while since I watched something on here that was actually disturbing, using these characters and taking it where this goes is just freaky.
But like, I watched it all anyway. So great job.
My god.
This digs into the essence of Charlie Brown's legacy and makes it contemporary.
It doesn't hurt that the art is polished into a high gloss. That was the first thing that struck me, before it got dark, that your work looked like the classic cartoons, but so much better.
And then the dialogue spoke so plainly and directly to real feelings and issues we grapple with, just like Schultz's work, but without having to keep it light enough for syndication.
This work verges on mastery. I'd love to see what you do with Calvin and Hobbes.
Wow, this really is tragic. The only kind gesture Lucy gave to Charlie Brown in his life was the medicine that ended up driving him insane. Kind of appropriate if you think about it.
I applaud the changes you made from the original. It really made the short come into its own.
This was almost worthy of 5 stars but the ending was kinda lame.
Great revision of it! I wish Charlie Brown had a talking voice here, though.
If there is a reason why you didn't have him talk, let me know. And if you need an actual Charlie Brown voice, I could do it.
