This year in Italy we celebrate the 150th anniversary of the state unity. Here's my video, hope you like it...

It looks great. Nice characters, good music, fluent movements. It's a bit mushy for my taste though, I'm waiting for their heads to explode when they touch hands because of all the magic but that's just me
Perhaps you should slip in the Colloseum in the background (it's about Italy, after all, the background is a bit generic).
A republic for 150 years? I thought the king abdicated in 1946?

Thank you very much! ahaha yeah it's a bit mushy, but it's intended for 11-15 aged kids...I thought about colloseum, also at other monuments on the bg but i had to abandone because wasn't able to draw it in time for the deadline...
Oops that was my mistake, it's the 150th anniversary of the Italian Unity...thanks!

You've really perfected your style. Very clean movement and attractive characters. The Asian kid is a bit stereotyped for my taste, but I understand the need for visual shorthand in a piece such as this.

Yeah, I agree with you, including the need for a visual shorthand. But when I saw it I did remember
a stronger statement for diversity (there's an Italian in it too)

Thanks Neeters. I am happy with this result, and hope to make always better...Yes I agree with your thoughts about the Asian kid style but it was in the needs of the project to make a stereotyped character...
Ahah Paul you will not be surprised if I tell you that my job is pizzamaker...
