I like your set up, only a handful of drawings and lots of manipulation. I could learn a lot from an animator like you, on how to be more economic with my drawings when I animate. That way you can put more into the quality. All the characters and the background were nice and clean, shiny. Good set up.
As for the story, I wasn't overly impressed but I am not really into this sort of thing so its just my own opinion. I still think you are a good animator and I hope you keep it up. :)

The only problem I have with most really well rated, well animated, cartoons on newgrounds is a complete lack of style and unfortunately this is no exception. The other major problem is usually sound quality - but not in this cartoon :)
Well animated, nice and fluid, nice compositions. Good music. Good sound quality. All around a good cartoon by most standards but lacking in originality to the utmost. And to be fair, the BACKGROUNDS do have their own style, and I enjoyed them very much.
But, It seems to me like no one puts 'themselves' into their character designs. It might just be a personal preference but I still feel it needs to be said. I understand the need for simplicity when animating a character but it seems to me that the same basic style is all you ever see on newgrounds.
White eyes no pupils, I'm am SICK TO DEATH of this style. It is an ugly style and it has been done to death on newgrounds. Done to DEATH. I understand no one wants to animate mouths and pupils. Pupils are much easier and less time consuming than mouths. If you have to pick one, pick mouths.
Anyways, still a good cartoon. If the characters were designed in an original style I would have no problems giving it a 8. And if it also 'engaged' me more, maybe got its expression across a bit clearer, coupled with an original style, I'd be an easy 10.
It wouldn't take much alteration for me to really love this work, and I'm a fan of previous steps.
Anyways, sorry for being harsh but hopefully my opinion has helped, thank you,

Kricfalusi & Crumb, among others, would be proud. :D Very nice animation, I really enjoyed the artwork and its style. Well done. You weren't overly lazy with the tweens (real tweens, not automated ones! Awesome) and the keys were interesting throughout!

Great use of texture to beef up your animation.

"Your animation style is cunning."
Her head, Foamy, one hand, and a single background. You are fucking brilliant. I wish I had your expertise in how to make something look good with as a little effort. And you use the same gestures for her hand from time to time.
I know that might come off as sarcastic but I'm honestly saying this to you. I really wish I had your ability to know how to set things up to be simpler, but for greater impact, like your cartoons.
Keep up the good work!

I could learn a lot from you. Short. Precise punchline/point to the film. Easy to do yet well done. Very funny and entertaining. Brillaint.

I was kept pretty entertained the whole time. Non stop movement pleases the brain for some reason. Some of those flashing lights were a bit much for me to look at, but whatever, it all fit into its hyper-active kitty-crewish type setting. Nice work!
