Snow Kid the Snowman gets in a slushy-situation
as he meets his new neighbor, who isn't as friendly as he is!
Thanks for watching!
It really means a lot to me.
If you like the video, it would really help a lot if you shared! Especially since this
isn't based off anything, like my previous animations have been!
Also, I'd like to give a HUGE thank you to Heyvern, from this very forum, for helping me a ton on exporting this, and future animations. Thanks man!
Hope you guys liked it, and have a Happy Holidays!!

Great job! Nice to finally see it with the sound effects.
The color looks fine, whatever codec you finally used to render it out to worked great.
I like the story! That's key, great story good punch line. Good timing, although as I said, i might have tightened it up in places. The scene timing was good but some of the actions could have been faster. Just a personal preference.
p.s. Those horrible inflatable snow men freak me the heck out. I live in a neighborhood that I think purchases 50% of all the kitschy holiday yard gizmos sold in the US. I think I saw a nativity scene based on The Simpsons down the street... it might have been left over from Halloween. We have an unofficial holiday I call "Thank-o-ween", right after halloween before thanksgiving. There are thanksgiving and halloween decorations "mixed together". Cardboard turkeys with cobwebs hanging off. When I leave or return to my house, all of my neighbor's musical yard sculptures sing and play those annoying tinkling jingles (the chicken wire reindeer next door are the worse). And the fraking lights!! It's blinding!
If we ever get another really good snow storm I plan to build a snow man massacre snow scene in my yard, in tribute to Calvin and Hobbes.

I ended up exporting it as a quicklime movie with MPEG-4, like you suggested! I was a bit worried about how it would end up, but now I'm really pleased!

Haha, Christmas decorations can get out of hand really fast. There's this nativity scene that our neighbors set up every year. The thing is- it's very light, and it can be windy here, so almost all the time it's knocked over, haha. I don't know how many times I've gone and set it back up for them, haha.

You got a laugh out of me. The timing on the first snowball was perfect.
