Looks great to me ! i mean isn't this wonderful when you tell a story just with the use of a sphere and a box !...you don't need hands, legs, face ...awesome stuff yarr !

haha...cool really looks good..
#i think when jhonney turns after the ball sit on him,it looks too snappy u can fix the timing there(both the turns).
#timming looks great really good.
#just to add on to animation..i would have added a small tent and a brunt out camp fire with smoke coming out..near jhonney...it will make it look full of life..
cheers
gr8 stuff

hey daps.. awesom man.. keep it up.. love the box character.. its come out really well..
was just wondering about one thing regarding the story.. it works well.. except that the box guy is getting punished for nothing.. usually in a story, prankster plays prank, the guy on whom prank is played suffers, then in the end the prankster gets punished for his prank.. this would make logical sense.. however in this i notice box guy gets punished for doing nothing, but the prankster walks (jumps ;)) out with reward.. think about this.. not sure how you could treat element in ur shot..
however.. its really cool.. keep it up :)

hey guys thanks a lot for ur comments!!! it was grrrreat to read all of them!!!

@ vinay, chandu, thanks so much for appreciating it!! ur comments only boosted my confidence further!

@ prasad, well yes buddy, i've always believed a true test of an animator is when he can make characters with no hands or legs or face act convincingly. THAT'S when the actual knowledge of body language comes in!!

@ harish, hey thanks for ur pointers buddy! i'll surely work on them. and ur tent and fire thingy sounds really tempting!! lol

@ nary, hey dude thanks for the pointer. really appreciate it! well, i DO know about pranksters getting punished in the end.... but that's really been done to death!!!! dont u think so?? so i thought let the prankster LIVE his life too and ONCE, get away with his prank! also i've always picturised johny box as a huge DUMB guy (someone like Moose of archie comics). so him getting punished for nothing makes his character even stronger! and ofcourse, sometimes evil too should win!! wicked??? i'd like to think so!!! lolz ;P

well all in all guys i'm really glad u all liked the clip! i'm soon gonna be workin on ballman and ball interaction! lets hope i do an even better job there! fingers crossed! :D
