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.

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.

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.

[@apollyonnoctis1291]

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.

Watching a colgrave animation reminds me of being a kid when my dad took me to work the first time. All of a sudden I was in this new world. 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.

[@cheeseguru1017]

It’s actually a brushtail possum, one of the main two types in Australia along with the ringtail

[@alissamedvedeva5614]

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.

Not likely, if you take a look at 7:07 the sky is filled with falling voices. This could imply that the possum-like creature threw it all away or that the cat and the rest of the animal crew made the possum get rid of the voices.
