One of my favorite Family Guy scenes/parodies, so I animated it. Took about 1.5 hours to animate, 3 hours to render and 30 minutes to render again with motion blur, color correction etc.
Enjoy and tell me if you want more and suggest ideas!

Some critcisim. Very very stiff walking animation, I realize it's minecraft, but it really kinda needs better smoothing. Besides that, I'd pick a better subject matter for FP, they usually mindlessly rate dumb anything to do with Family Guy, and this scene isn't exactly clever, or... well funny for that matter. Spend more time on your animations, simple tweaking can make the entire animation look so much better. I realize there isn't ANY lipsyncing, but maybe either ditch trying to give them voices all together, or make them express things better. You could look around for that steve model that has eyebrows, mouth, facial expressions, etc (I've always found it creepy honestly.)
Apart from the animation, no offense, but this didn't really need it's own thread. Could've posted in the general chat thread.
Unfunny scene, unfunny show, you get brownie points for the animation work though.

Why thanks for your criticism. The walking animation was a brat to handle as the damn boomed would mess about the place. I never liked the rigs with facial features, I think them very difficult to handle. As for the scene being funny, it's a matter of taste.
I'm sorry if making this a thread is a problem, then- i apologies and I won't do so again. Cheers.

Facial rigs are damned to handle in simple animations such as Minecraft, usually they're only needed for minecraft music videos, which is what I believe the rig was made for anyway. I've had quite a bit of experience with the 3ds Max rig of the normal minecraft model, and it sometimes glitches for me, so I can understand.

Thanks for your opinion anyways. I just like using back-wiggles and head bobs to exaggerate talking as it gives it that minecraft effect.
