I thought they were going to eat the poor guy, but no, they were trying to be a gentleman and help the poor frog in its plight. Maybe the spiders had seen so many star voices stolen by the witch that it wanted to help the frog get a new one out of sympathy, so it tried to have it go to the stars at night to eat a new voice, which is why it waited till it was almost nighttime. What a kind spider.

It's really interesting to see how much his style developed over time, and how far it has come. It's really clear how much the detais keep increasing, how much smoother everything is, and how fluid the movements are. The sound design too, it has really mattured over the years and years of experience, and now the sound itself has become another way of telling the stories, and in this case, a big part of this universe. Truly an amazing animation, absolutely worth the time we waited.

[@largefather2319]

Seeing his style develop from something like Pigpen to this is astounding. Felix is by far my favorite animator, and with good reason.

[@checkitoutguys1]

Agreed 100% everything has advanced a TON, now the sound and image have become inseparable. It's damn worth the wait.

[@atnightshieldcastle1478]

I really did enjoy the sounds and music and the uneasy vibes it brings. Truly something to remember.

[@MrQwint22]

What I love most about this is how it showcases digital animation. Digital animation often gets unfairly maligned when compared to classical animation. Here we can see the use of blur and distortion effects to beautifully accentuate many of the movements and actions, while colour math helps give the pond water a wonderful murky appearance. It's a composed and assembled so seamlessly to achieve visuals that conventional animation wouldn't be able to accompish. Also, you got to love the showcase of Australian wildlife. Marsupial representation ✊!

I saw things that I recognized, a stapler or a printer, but in this new context they were foreign, used in ways I didn't recognize. It's not that the office was chaotic, rather it had rules that were completely alien to me. I felt so small and out of place thrust into this strange machine. In a way, it was a lot like watching a lemur use the voice of a frog to make music.

It reminds me of childhood as well: because I learned to read early and spent good portion of my childhood reading myths and other folklore (the ethnographic type). I know their rules by heart, and Colgrave's animations follow it: some things in it may be new and modern, but the spirit, the rules of the world are older than writing and so, so familiar.

-for the pelican, i believe its an australian pelican lol -not sure abt the unknown one, but they look like pygmy possums or mouse lemurs which arent native to tasmania lol -they are quolls!! eastern and tiger quolls respectively - this is a great egret!!! they are found in tasmania as well, but felix seems to draw them with yellow feet which could mean its a white-morph pacific or western reef-heron? -looks to be a quokka :) i think thats it?

[@bdswagmuffin1934]

I feel like there's some message here about taking advantage of/exploiting/stealing someone's creative spark/works. leaving them behind an empty husk while the exploiter that does not understand the creative struggle/process bastardizes it into what they think will get them renown/recognition. And then everyone else is just cool with it because they're getting their entertainment until it happens to them/one of theirs. While the karma is that those with a creative spark never really lose it, they just re-imagine it through their suffering. Or it's just about a guy who likes poking frogs because he's a big weirdy, who knows

he went all out with the spider joke. the fact that it, a, has a moustache, b, politely invited the frog to his house for a chat, and c, politely escorted him out and waved him goodbye, when there's a spider called a social huntsman in Australia is just genius. also the fact he kind of forgot where his watch was is another clever joke.

also the fact that frogs and tarantulas can sometimes have symbiotic relationships, where the frog prevents insects from eating the tarantulas eggs and in return the tarantula protects the frog
