Fred's Birthday Surprise

Nothing is impossible!

Here's something I did some time ago. It didn't win any awards but it did make it as a finalist in the Bitfilm festival and the TGSNT competition. I had a lot of fun doing it but, as with most of my stuff, when I look back at it, I always see things I could have done to improve it. This was created with Toon Boom Studio on a MAC G4 with a Wacom Cintiq tablet.

Yes, I get the same error. but it played fine earlier when I first posted,so its probably temporary.

:D Hey Topdrawer! Thanks for sharing this again. I saw this during TGSNT and loved it (though I can't remember if I voted for it, teehee). Nice job!

I've got the latest Flash player, and I've only got it to download to 3% before it stalls out. What's my problem.

Sorry about that, Phacker. I have no idea why you're having a problem with it. I just now tried it again and it worked fine.

Well I am still on dialup and I am competing with all of you on broadband. I am sure the server is dealing with the requests as they happen.

I'll wait until the middle of the night maybe I can get through when most of you are asleep.

Is there anywhere else I can download this? I've tried and tried and I can't get passed 05% download. And I tried some of their other films, got further but never was able to download and entire film. And I gave it a try on my friend's broadband, still no joy.

That link worked, thanks. Glad I got a chance to see it never would have guessed the punch line otherwise. Very funny gag.

I enjoyed it a bunch. When I go to the home, I'll make sure it's my birthday every day.
