wow.... 4 min like this, i guess you guys made a loooot of drawings ;-)
that was awesome and very well done... How did u acheive such a good sound sync ?

Thats was awesome, great song too :)

i love it, all of it!
and the boy really deserved a spider-leg-poke-in-the-eye

it was so amazing, with very nice music :)

I really liked the story that went with this, super cool, funny, entertaining.. "how would you feel if a giant hand came out of the sky and decided to crush you?" keep up the awesome work!

This is insane! Really really good

haha love it!

This is one of the greatest things we've seen and heard all year! Just in time too... Otherwise we're sure it would have been one of the greatest things we'd have seen next year.

Love Sweet Dreams too.

This is so fucked up. I hope this isnt serious

Hi Garrett

Great work!

HOLY SHIT!

This is THE most amazing animation I've seen here on vimeo!!!!

I love this and shall spread it over the interwebz forever!!!

It must have taken a million years to complete!

This is a really beautiful piece of work.



Thank you Garrett & Kirsten!

Just checked out everything else you've done.

You are now, officially, my favorite animator on Vimeo.

Woweee wow wow wow! VERY very nice. Not only is this a presentation of skilled, beautifully accomplished animation- but the discipline of a story, and a well performed story at that.

-I love the minstrel turning the page in his sheet music
-I've always suspected that's what pride looked like.

Well done. I haven't felt that way about animation since the Animation Celibration I saw as a 3rd grader, with the original Ren&Stimpy, and stuff that played on MTV Liquid Television; "I married a Stranger" type raw cartoons. Lol about pride, and the dad/son character conceptions - rubble nipples, the back-and-forth, dad's persistence..

so great! the spider with the knife, hahah.
really so many things that could be mentioned.
fantastic job.

haha, very cool. although this doesn't make me like spiders any more than I do now.

That was awesome! The song is great but the animation is just unbelievable! =O

hahah!! this is so damn epic. i will never look at life the same now......

That was so fantastic and wonderful. I hope your blessed for the rest of your life. There. I said it.

The boy's voice sounds like Daniel Johnston

Hey I loved the animation and such and really enjoyed it. You will go far. BUT lets not forget it is in the end it is just a spider. Then to add to that, lets not forget they have brains that are incredibly tiny even in proportion to their size. Hence they are incapable of our sort of thinking. Also even if they did have very large brains such as ours, they would unquestionably not be like us. Considering they are after all spiders. Now dont get me wrong I have nothing against spiders. That has nothing to do with it. But we all need to realize is the natural world is really not any better than the human world. You will find everything in the natural world as in ours. Racism, Sexism you name it. In all reality our world is better, as strange as that may seem, But in the end its true. For example the Young, Old, Weak and sick are always first to go. As opposed to us, where we will (Most of the time anyways) take care of the Sick, Old, Weak and Young first. As opposed to in nature 99% of the time its the strong and leaders that eat first. Now dont get me wrong a grudge against the natural world has NOTHING to do with it. But I believe you know what I may be getting at. Look at it this way the whole point of technology is because in all reality nature alone is not at all reliable, then why do we have technology. We would simply go WAY backwards and the Sick, Old, Weak and Young would suffer first and most. Infact Humanity as a whole would GREATLY SUFFER. Sorry about that rant. Anyways take care and respond soon.

That is AWESOME...nothing more to say...

Hey Kirsten, that was fun to watch!
liked it a lot!

this is cool and now it's stuck in my head

Congratulations Kristen and Garrett, it's a nice and fabulous artwork.
I haven't seen it on Dailymotion, why ?

"ARACHNID!"

Quite brilliant. Has a ring of The Handsome Family about it.

This is a great animation, tons of work! Keep up the awesome work!

It's amazing work!!! congrats...

Sweet :)

Tremendous! One of the best visuals I've seen in a very long time.

good stuff sister! you and garrett brought me one step closer to accepting these million legged creatures...i promise to tell the hubby to cup it instead of squish it next time. afterall, i don't ever squish em, just wake the mr. in the night to do my dirty work for me! ha. anyways...loved it!

simply incredible

so so good!

Incredibly simple

I wish I had the time to give you an in depth critique of why I think this is so good, because it really just works on all levels.

Very nice work!

Excellent.

this is amazing

One-of-a-kind story , unique style, and a highly original soundtrack combine for an awesome animation. Some of the facial animation is a throwback to the classic Hollywood style... great work!

'daddy+daddy+daddy'
hahha
this is great!
thnx for sharing!

A Beautiful Message In The Song and Animation, I will send this to all my friends, Thanks For Sharing, and great Job on this video!

beautiful ... allllllllllllllll

Man, woman! I cant get enough of this. Saw it once and it was stuck in my head all day. Now I am sending it to everyone!

I love the animation

This is marvelous! In every way. I'm a fan.

yes!!!! i have been waiting for this. great job kirsten. i love all your animations!!!!

Obviously a tremendous amount of hours went into this.
Which I applaud but the fact that you nailed it as well...
Bravo!

Fantastic!

My girlfriend, Mary Ann: "Brilliant! . . . on so many levels. Thank you!"

Me: I concur.

amazing work kirsten! really enjoyed it.

Such a playful animation style! I love it!

Amazing. I do stop motion and hand drawn animations now and again, so I totally dig this and can see just how much work went into it. Also it's just flat out funny, which is always a plus!

-CAP

i dig this... very much...

That was brilliant. I love the style of your characters and the overall absurdity :0 The animation was a bit too wobbly to my liking and it kinda lacks 'weight' but it was nonetheless very good. Nice arcs, drags n follow troughs and the lipsync was spot-on! Very awesome. :D

Too cute. You guys are too talented. Thank you so much for sharing your work on here. <3 I really appreciate all your guys hard work. I'm no where near as in depth of an animator as you guys and I know how tedious it is. <3

That was one of the best things I've seen in a very long time.... Great work.... Great message too...

extremely strange,
and exponentially entertaining.
I thoroughly enjoyed it. :)

Wow, I thought in the beginning of the video that it'd be really corny and cheesy, but it turned out to be great. Very original and I loved all the intricate details in the animation. Also lol@ 'Godspeed' at the end. Great work!

Damn Kirsten, this is amazing! I love animation like this. I tried it my self but couldn't stay motivated or consistent with my work so I gave up. I'm comfortable with 2d animation using After Effects.

I love this, I loveeeeee this. i will watch this everyday until i realize why i love this sooooo much. what is it?

I'm not absolutely certain, but I'm pretty sure that's the best thing on the internet. I mean, I haven't checked the whole internet yet, I'm about halfway through, but so far... yeah, that's the best.
I'm gonna put a bookmark on it.

Ciao Kristen, complimenti!
i disegni sono molto belli e le voci sono tutte fortissime!
bravi!

(good work!)

i loves it like my mother loves me. happy ways both song and visuals. im from sweden

very awesome whole thing well done!!

I love the entire video! And I especially like the "boil".

it sounds like the Microphones, I seriously love this, creepy friendly greatness

This isnt really about spiders is it ? =)
I liked the symbolics.

I love it!
Congratulations, Kirsten!

crazy stuff. great work.

Very cool, Kirsten!

Just cant hold back when the spider pokes the kid in the eye !

I just can't stop watching this! It is so good, so deep and yet so goofy! Ah, definitely my favorite animated thing on the internet right now!

-CAP

Hilarious, disturbing, I love it, make it stop

Best. Video. Ever.

Very nice.

Awesome, hilarious piece of animation :) Nice job!

Holy god was that good!! Very fantastic! Thanks for letting us see it :)
