Pile Of Kittens (In My Mind)
Parry Gripp takes a trip inside his own head.
For the 'Dreams' Animation Challenge.
The kittens falling from the sky look like Pig Pen from Peanuts. (DIRT CLOUDS)
Awesome film, I absolutely ADDDOOORRRED it.

That was beautiful, Hazzat. :')
That's the kind of thing I want for this challenge, very nice job.
Fantastic! The Sky Frogs are jealous of the kittens now!
I like it. My one crit is that it would have been nice to see more actual piles of kittens involved in the vidja.
Congrats on getting Parry Gripp's attention like this.

I agree. We need more kittens (maybe a Director's Cut can be released with 500% more kittens?).
Good job Hazzat, I expect to see this playing at the Santa Barbara IFF next year.

...And Roger Ebert better have nice things to say about it
This. Was. Awesome.
KITTEHS FTW!
Kittens make pretty much everything better, even Brickfilms. And since their are piles of them, this is awesome!

the irritating, unfunny and completely forgettable song
Not sure if trolling...
Anyway, liked the film. I felt like the masking on the kittens could have been cleaner, but that's my only substantial complaint.

Wow.
'irritating'? 'unfunny'? 'completely forgettable'?
3/5 Stars
Pssssh. Really? More like a 4.8/5! The song was catchy and funny (not to mention, fuzzy, hehe) and WAS NOT irritating and forgettable, not at all! It's stuck in my head! Great job!

Oh wait I guess Hazzat already saw that...

I have to agree with you... I don't see how anyone could possibly forget such a crazy song... In fact, it's going to be stuck in mine probably for a few weeks now. 
Anyways, I liked it. Although I also have to agree that for a song with the lyrics 'pile of kittens in my mind', there was surprising few piles and more kittens just raining down.
Other than that, I say it gets a good 4 of 5 bricks.
P.S. TO THE NUIMOBILE!!
Thanks for all the kind words folks! spugdesu seemed to be dislike Parry Gripp's work more than mine, so I've done nothing wrong.

I probably would have done, but because I have only one white and one black cat I didn't want to risk ruining the movie with iffy special effects. This is the most I have put in a brickfilm so far so I'm still a little wary of my skills.

I agree, although the kittens were actually greenscreened in. I took my one white cat and twirled it around frame by frame in front of a greenscreen. The same cat was then copy/pasted over and over to make it rain. The black bits of fuzz around them are left over from the rig I had holding the cat up (which was green, but covered in shadows). I'm still learning!
Now, if you've got another two minutes to spare I would very much appreciate it if you watched this (in full screen):

This really is great for the dream challenge.
It has successfully invaded my dreams at night, and I heard the song echoing through my head as LEGO kittens fell from the sky.
Well done. xD
Also, your female voice was done nicely, and didn't seem awkward like a lot of things where guys try to do that.
He he

SAY WHAAAT? That voiced by my MOTHER! O_O
All I see it's a black screen, there.
I loved the video. The song isn't stukc in my head, but I didn't find it irritating or unfunny (about the forgettable thing...well, I forgot it). I agree taht it would have been better with more piles of kittens. But anyway, it was great.it
Edit: Saw it again, that thing is awesome. Now the song IS stuck in my head.
