The animation was decent, and the song was okay. But what really stood out to me was your incredible set. I was also pleased with the lack of light flicker, a common issue with newer (and more experienced) brickfilmers. My tip would be to keep practicing your animation, and maybe make something original in the future. Also, you should probably buy yourself some real minifigures.

But that's what made it original! I loved the use of the lesser-seen figures, and of the normal fig to represent weight gain (they sure do look plump compared to the Friends figs).
The animation was simple, but it managed it in a way that was charming; the monkey's two-frame exaggerated walk made me smile. It's clear that you are a MOCer as the set was phenomenal! It's nice to see as the MOC and brickfilm communties seem to rarely overlap. Keep it up as with time and an original idea, you could have something special on your hands.
Thanks for the comments! I'm glad you guys liked it. It was originally done for a LEGO Friends contest and went over well, though it was the only video entry (all other entries were MOCs). I had a lot of fun with it even though I didn't have the time to do the full 4 minute song, hopefully I captured the gist of it all. With my beginner skills, a full 4 minutes probably would have been grating on the viewer anyway 
Also, you should probably buy yourself some real minifigures.
Just for that, I might make my next one pure Friends minidolls.

I have some ideas in the works and am working on a short screenplay for one. I decided to use music videos for practice with animation since it takes something off my plate (writing, sound, music) to let me focus on building, shooting, and editing.

Ha, ha, you should do it, these guys need there boundary pushed now and then 
DarkDragon! 
I remember when you released this back in 2012. Nice to see you here on BiM!
And I agree with SlothPaladin, you should do another one of these with Friends or Fabuland minidolls.
Hey Walter
I thought I joined here over a year ago but apparently I didn't. 
Now I have though! Glad to be here.
*cough* It's Fabuland figures not minidolls Only Friends has minidolls, silly.
Yeah I originally meant it the other way around. Whoops!
