I liked it but...
You have strayed from your normal movie!
Something I have always loved about your movies is the interaction between the characters and the pencil. I understand that you are trying to put more work into them, but don't over do it! The pencil gave this feeling of an unknown creator, but when you add the hand in the it takes some of that mystery away. You humanize the pencil and it no longer stands as the observant creator messing around with his creations. Now it is some kid drawing random doodles.
Also, in this movie there was hardly any interaction at all! I miss it. *sniff* I was so happy about seeing another pencilmation on newgrounds.
I still love your stuff and I think it is great. But why change perfection?
