Comment!!:) 
Not sure what camera you're using, but if possible I'd suggest trying to focus on the minifigs. There was slight light flicker at times, but not too bad; lighting itself seemed a little too light, I'd suggest messing around with camera settings a little bit to get the effect you really want. There were several camera bumps besides the movement of the camera, which was rather distracting, but not excessively. It seems like this was made in very little time, because the animation itself was decent, it just all seemed rather rushed. Take more time setting up your lighting and focus, it really pays off. I have to say that the main problem for me was the lighting, it was all too bright and glowy; mixed with the often out-of-focus minifigures, the film seemed worse than it actually was.
Keep working though, you certainly have the basics of animation down quite well, just take the time to set up each shot and make sure that you have your camera secured.
Where to start? Ah, was this inspired by Fancypants, perhaps? Probably. Also, you need a background... And to work a bit longer. It was pretty choppy animation. I'd increase your framerate, too, and make the movements littler. I'm sorry though I didn't see much of anything unique. Why not get creative and do something nobodies ever seen before? Not some one in a million Star Wars film. C'mon. And what kcirb said, the mini figures were really blurry/out-of-focus.
EDIT: Plus, the masking looked weird. You need to put a the background picture without anything and then take the picture you want to mask and put it over it. Don't draw on the picture. Watch Fancypants's (yet again, I am mentioning him) tutorial called How to Make Lego Fly which I'm to lazy to make a link to. Back to the background. Use Lego, not your wall.

Meh. I rather liked it. All you need is a higher frame rate and a better set and you're good.
Actually a little bit good.
Well, I will work over what you said.
But I'm not a professional way that will still be a slight camera shake, but the picture is clearer moans.
you shouldn't double post when you have two comments that go together 
you should look here to find out how this sight works
it was pretty good I don't have anything to say besides what has already been said
you should also see if you can change the typo
