The screeching tires were bad enough to hear once. Also, where did he get those mangled-ass gray bricks in the music room sequence? They've got to be knockoffs.

I'm also not saying it wasn't worth your time, or that the creator shouldn't have bothered. Sure he should have! Why not? But just because he made an effort I'm not gonna pretend I thought it didn't suck. It was not 'phenomenal'. I’m not crabby, I just think it’s a sucky animation.

I thought is was fun enough to invest 30 seconds of my life. And yeah, it wasn't new. I'd not seen it before, and I laughed. Thanks for posting it David. And buzz off all you naysayers. D'oh! (And another thing... how can you say something is cute and cool, but not good?) “What was so phenomenal about that?
