Sort of an abrupt ending there, but like you said you gave up on it. Cute characters and some good animation going on. My favorite was the orange-dressed one on the far right. Looking forward to more of your work!

LOVE IT!
It's cute, funky, fun, and weird.

There's no harm in taking a break cos when you come back to it you'll have plenty of new ideas. The last thing you want is for you to get bored of it and push yourself to finish it cos you'll just want to finish it and it won't have the quality it deserves cos you've rushed it.

Take your time and enjoy yourself!

This is an excellent start. You should finish it, cause the only thing you could lose will be time, but time would pass anyway ,) On the other hand, I see that time as an investment in the next and better animation. You have a grip, don`t lose it.

You got me when the big green head get to the left - I like this muppet-like "bopping"! And then the dancing girl - perfect. You've got a talent for rhythm and dynamic movements, and all these characters are appealing, despite some not so good design choices. Left me grinning.

for your first animation that was really good the timing was very well done that "i got sick of it" attitude is probably the hardest part of animation to overcome anything can be accomplished with patients then again i tend to do the same thing so i really don't have room to talk well done though

for a first time animation, i would assume that you've been doing this your whole life. You move your characters with perfect rhythm and maintain qualities that make me jealous. If you're not passionate about this project enough to finish it, that's fine, but keep animating. You appear to be extremely good at it.

Crazy good for a first animation, crazy good even for an experienced animator, you have some crazy talent! As someone else said, it is "weird" in a good way, to me because it is so well done and conveys an other world type of strangeness, but using innocent yet weird (and ghostly) looking aliens and music. I thought the choreography was excellent, music and visuals synch perfectly, everything moves to the beat of the music just right. Of the 3 small ones, I especially like the way the middle alien wiggles it's tushee, and the design of the other 2 (ghostly and robotic). Also the art and lighting effects of big alien's kaleidoscope eyes. Also the "beam me down" beam which matches a stage curtains opening.

Something (wrinkles?) appears below the mouth of the big one around 0:22 which I did not understand.

You have great talent, please continue, would love to see more.
