Great visuals capturing the reflection of the gumballs on the sides of the dispenser with perspective!

[Legomicroman]

the shaking sound as laughing, cool idea.

[ujwiersma]

That they can convey so many emotions with just a gumball machine to work with. Priceless.

i remember this from the red robot with the pencil

I like how that even though the Gumball machines can't speak, we audiences can tell what they are trying to say.

The Blue machine shaking up and down is laughing, the Red machine moving left and right is shaking his head "No"

Nice details too guys, the reflection in the machines, not many would think of that.

It's amazing that little toy can pack so many darts in such a small capsule.

This was adorable and hilarious! I hope that I will be able to create models and animations this well once I get further in my degree.
