I like the idea of making a plot behind the whole thing but the voice over was pretty bad. Since you can't go making the characters themselves speak I can understand why it had to be done but using a womans voice like in the beginning of lord of the rings was a poor choice in my opinion. You could have used less voiceover, and more consistency to the amount of detail that went into the first brackenwood shorts. Something about his running time lapse was off and the cartooony childhood bits were coloured oddly. I think others would agree that the wild spontaneity of the first animations with more character depth in the actions of bitey was a large component which drew popularity to the theme of the whole thang. Now its less wild and linear (what with an obvious plot on the way) and I really don't think this wizard being is going to conform to the original intent with this series. Im sure ill still enjoy the future brackenwoods, and maybe this was a more concrete attempt at proving your ability in other regards, but with the distraction of plot thickening I can't really see this series being anywhere as good as your first contributions. Of course it probably will mean more for you in the future. haha

depending on your age this is either a good flash or pretty bad since the twist was really obvious. kudos to all the hard work though, but next time you should animate to a better plot. not that theres anything I can think of right now, but if I came up with that lame joke I definitely wouldn't waste my time animating it. still... looked nice.

Because polar bears have opposable thumbs, weak teeth and a shark survived the canning process. Asides from the plot though, the animation was very well done.

i liked it the whole way through, must have taken a long time to do. some of the morphs were clearly turned into things that were pre planned, and with thinner lines which weren't as fluid and visually apealing but the morphs which were more additions and manipulations than a direct change were much more interesting... if that makes any sense.
