Elmira Solo:

they are soooo cute, maybe more expression on the faces would improve it a lot :)

Jeff Woodward:

Love stop motion, but I think there could have been more done with the turtles, maybe even with the scorpion.

Zoe Piel:

YAY

Adam Singer:

fun :)

Jan Abero:

I love claymation and I miss Gumby. Anyways. Good job lip syncing, just wish there was more movement in the turtles but I guess that's what makes this work.

Lance Erickson:

I like how the scorpion is like, "Come on, turtle, follow that butterfly."
