It has a way about it. A feeling, you could say, something like a poem.
And Adam Phillips is the poet. Not only does this animation sound beautiful (thanks to Nathan McCree's score, no doubt) but it also is animated with such precise and wonderful detail that arguably it exceeds that of professional, commercial movies like Ghost in the shell and Akira in the graphics department.
Also stunning is the world you have crafted, and the confidence you take as you introduce new characters and situations without the help of dialog or a clear narrative. A master storyteller, truly.
The story in itself, however, shows traces of irony and wit. Bitey, the protagonist, appears to be mischievous and annoying, yet ultimately he comes off as innocent and lovable. His mischief and selfishness didn't help once he met the boy in the river, and only after eating dozens of these strange spherical droplets does he find out they in fact combust and grow once they are knocked about - resulting in him having to keep away from the creatures he previously annoyed or hurt.
I thought he would have died from hitting the ground, but apparently they just pop up out his mouth. No doubt painful, but he deserved worse.
All in all, just another incredible movie, and I'll give this my first 10/10 in ages. Hell, if I could I'd rate it higher. Please reply and good luck on any future movies you have planned. 5/5.

a poet huh? Thanks :D
Bitey is such a little bastard that he always deserves more than he gets, but I didn't want him dying.. I just wanted him to think that he'll die. The lil bastard.

JK Rowling was either looking for extra book sales to the homosexuals or she is just money hungry. This animation was hilarious because it's exactly how I thought Dumbledore would be once I heard the news.
I also wanted to congratulate you for for getting it out pretty damn fast, only weeks after the announcement. Thanks for the extra humor in my day. 4/5.

Your welcome and I appreciate the review.
You and I are just about on the same page except I always thought of him as a massive child predator. They gay news just added to the already rich story I had concocted.

Don't listen to "GigaAndy " or other lazy, runescape-hating reviewers. Compared to most of the other stuff on Newgrounds, the animation was very well done, with well-preformed voice acting and some nice music. The story was nice for me, a runescape player, to experience as it showed an extra side to the game I love, like the wallpapers and player art on the website.
And the fact "GigaAndy" subtracted marks because it was runescape just proves his incompetence to write a proper review. Even if I wasn't a runescape player I would still notice the extra work and polish that went into this. 4/5.
