Animation Highlight: If You Fall

Last fall I came across this short via Animation Nights NY twitter and finally rediscovered it cleaning out my Twitter bookmarks. 

This short was so charming and heart felt that I had to share it. I appreciated that the character were Indian and had accents. I loved the simplicity of the character and set designs. The characters and set were not outlined and the edges were not smoothed. I appreciated these things. Lastly, the sound design and musical composition was extremely well handled. Overall this short, is deeper than what you may assume and holds the viewers attention very well. Check it out below and tell me what you think
