I got lazy at the end, but I'm kinda proud of it. :)

:D
That's good, sadly it didn't sem like you were willing to actually finish it..
My tip:
Make it so we can actually understand what he's doing, and why he's constantly saying "Damn" he lost his hat, then suddenly got it back, try to show what he did to get it back, he got back into the "Fireplace" and yet it seemed as if he teleported, show how he got there...

This is actually a sample of why I came here. I'm barely able to finish specifically my stick animation. I hope to improve on that.
