Fantastic style, wonderful story
I loved this movie. The art style was interesting: it gave the impression that it was bad, but it was smooth and detailed, so its a plesant treat for the eyes to look at, its new.
The story of doing what you want even if it means giving up what you worked for is amazing, and a great moral to teach. People nowaday seem more worried about making money than being happy, so Im really glad to see this story get told, and in such a great way as well.
Sense you asked for suggestions, though... its hard for me to say anythings bad seeing as its such a good movie as it is, but if I had to improve something, I would suggest his dream sequence. The scissors, to me, looked less like scissors and more like.. freaky... two headed troll things. In fact, until I saw the paper and realized what the allusion was to, I didn't even know they WERE scissors, so my only suggestion would be to make that more clear, although Im only saying this because you asked for advice.
Regardless, this is a wonderful animation and you should be very proud of yourself for making it.
thanks!
