I love the narration and graphic treatment! A fun short, nice work!
Hi Luke – thanks very much. It took a lot longer than it probably looks to put all that together for a noob like me. I’ve been following your own excellent work for some time since I first discovered it on blogexplosion, so your comments really are high praise indeed!
Well done there … I can’t wait for part 2. I haven’t been up the mountain yet this season, I am sure there are disgruntles fairies up there, I’ll have to watch out for myself.

Thanks, Jeremy. Parts two, three and four are already up there. Click here to automatically play the whole thing.
Very many cool lines and really well made. “You can always tell a bad fairy cos they disguise themselves as a good fairy.” hahaha
Parts 1 and 2 have kept my ears glued to the speaker output. Brilliant writing and craft work. John Rayment does a very convincing triple character gymnastic. I’ll be making some time this-evening for parts 3 and 4. Great work!
Thanks very much guys! And Brad, I’ll certainly pass on your praise to John. I’m sure you’re aware that, whilst not an endangered species, the modern artist finds nourishment only in the kind words of others.
