there's nothing horrific about it, but it is very very short.
I like the short little scientist's voice and eyebrows

Very well done... and I appreciate the subtlety... for a short moment I was confused how I should react to it... had to think for minute.

I liked it!
I especially liked the jabs at evolution and the line:
"Which FAIRYTALE are you going to believe? It's up to you!"

Absolutely beautiful artwork and storyline.
Such an enjoyment to watch – a real pleasure.

Wow! Thanks for all the nice comments!
I had wanted to change the ending a bit, but it was going to take too much time and I had already worked on it for over a week during my spare minutes here and there.
The alternative ending would have been during the second transformation. Rather than just having the clock on the wall go around a few times, I wanted to have numbers in the millions rapidly changing higher and higher. Finally, when the transformation finishes, the room is gone and there is a wasteland instead. The little professor has decomposed into some dust and a talking skull

Thus, showing the passage of a much longer time period.
Maybe I will someday issue an "Editor's cut/special edition" version. Who knows!

good animation, good social commentary, next you should do a cartoon about another fairy tale, like god instantly turning dirt into people, but you should change the serpent character to someone like rumplestiltkin, to make it more beliveable

You can do that one, riotcrue. Since none of us were there when it all began I guess it's up to each person's individual choice. I prefer the God created man instantly from dirt as opposed to the big bang producing everything and eventually life emerging from primordial soup. As the professor says, "It's up to you!"

What this cartoon needs is some baby angels.

I really really like soup... so... I am going with that one. Nothing really bad could evolve from soup in my opinion.
Don't tell my family... they might shun me.

Go for it, Vern! Freedom of choice is a wonderful thing. Um, what if you're wrong?

Well...
If I am wrong... I have an arrangement with my father who is a minister to "hold a spot" for me... you know... put in a good word just in case.
Actually if I am wrong... I don't think I could put up with all the "I told you so's" from the people I have disagreed with about religion anyway.
I can just imagine all those smug looks from all my conservative mennonite relatives...

I wasn't going to join in this discussion (though I did think that your animation was quite good, Zeb, even though I didn't agree with the content. I didn't want to shoot the messenger because of the message.

Isn't this kind of a bad reason for having faith in a religion? Fear of something that may happen?

Hi, guys! I sure don't want to argue. After all, we're not here to talk about religion, but rather animation.
Jorgy, I'd be happy to answer your question but perhaps a private message would be more suitable lest we fill up the forum with more non-animation-related discussion. Just let me know.
By the way, I too can't stand "I told you so" people. Yugh!

Good call. And yeah, send me a PM.
