The standing up animation and the accompanying effects animation on the tail in the second scene are really really nice!! I also like a lot of the framing you chose, especially the pan up to the sky in the third shot on the word 'universe'. Parts of the lip sync like the word 'truth' at frame 62 could really benefit from some more exaggeration. Opening the mouth much wider at the start of 'truth' and then bringing the mouth closed like you have it at the 'th' noise could really help in matching the lip sync more effectively. Overall, I love the characters you chose and a lot of the secondary animation like the swinging of the lantern and the fire are very nice! It's just a bit incomplete.

i messed up on the panning up part, my bad

I like It a lot, my only critique is the first shot of the dragon is completely frozen, not even the mouth moves. But I personally don't have experience with 2D animation, and don't know if this is common choice in a unfinished version with a character at that distance. So I don't know how to rate it. :) But still good job, interesting characters and story.
