    I LOVE THIS STORY AND, ESPECIALLY, ITS PROTAGONIST! It's just great! For starters, you have wonderfully managed to make the viewer connect with Bruce, identify and feel tenderness for him. You manage without dialogue or narration to make it all perfectly understandable thanks to the visual and sound effects and your illustrations that are as beautiful as they are clear. You are a PRO OF STORYBOARDING! My most sincere congratulations for your AMAZING work! You have made me laugh and touched me with this bear that I feel like hugging and... haha A hug, my friend, go for it!

    This is such a funny and compelling story! I think you did a great job of helping the audience empathize with Bruce the bear by capturing his lonely moments. You did a fantastic job at contrasting the lively atmosphere of the city with the quiet and empty forest. Your visual storytelling skills are very impressive! Your boards are clear and were framed beautifully. I particularly liked the shot in the beginning of your story where Bruce is clinging to a tree as he looks at the vastness of the forest. This shot does a great job at illustrating Bruce's loneliness. I was able to follow the story easily and understand what was being communicated. I enjoyed watching Bruce overcome his obstacles in a creative way and see him transform from a desperate and lonely creature into this confident, break dancing bear! Your story structure seems well thought out and I believe that the whole plot felt connected and flowed nicely. The only part that I found a little unclear was the scene when Bruce stumbles across a cabin in the woods. I noticed that there was a truck that said "DJ Woods" on the side of it as well as a flyer on the table that said "Woods Fest DJ" on it. Was the man at the cabin going to have a dance party in the woods or did he just live there? Perhaps you could elaborate more on why the man was there? Overall, well done on creating such an interesting and intriguing story!
