Hehe this is really cute and amazing! I saw you while you were working on this and thought the scene was amazing and beautiful for stop motion and even now I'm still amazed by how good it looks and even more so by the animation you with it! Specially with the characters, which can be hard to animate and times. Really good job!

On the side of improvments though the beginning when the camera was moving it was really rocky and not so stable. I think in a professional enviorment people would usually have a different style tripod for those shots but you can probably get the same quality by maybe taking more pictures and editting out the rocky ones (maybe even taking a scatter of shots all along the path from the two points and then selecting pictures that make a smooth path), or trying some stabilizing editting (I dunno if it'll help that much with this amount of move ment) or even taking the shots from farther away and when editting it together you can zoom in and move some frames so they line up more properly. You could even move the camera out and do the motion around and then zoom in afterward, that way you only have to worry about 1 or 2 axises of movement and not all 3 which can be hard with physical media where you have to remember everything that can before or look at the camera and risk messing up the view. Just some thoughts for future projects. Good project though!! :D

Cute, but I wasn't sure what was going on. I liked all the bright happy colors.
