The animation in this is the same as the one I've submitted previously, here: [link] , BUT... we ran it through the editing station for fun and tossed in sound effects. And it's really a good example of an adage which I heard recently that covered something I'd noticed in all my favorite films. And it goes like so:

"Sound is 70% of what you see".

In animation, where there is no such thing as "incedental audio" captured during the shoot... every sound you hear in any anime or cartoon or animated movie is placed with deliberation, and the difference between good sound and bad can make or break a film.

How many times have you seen characters in a cartoon (this happens a lot with the more cheaply produced daytime kids cartoons) walking through a crowd and talking to each other... and that's all? Perhaps some music, perhaps some footsteps... but they're in a crowd! Why aren't there the souns of many people, that constant ocean of murmurs and half-heard words and so forth? The little things like that make all the difference.

At any rate, here's the Skirmish with a good dose of sound effects from the Fates vault. Sorry for the itty-bitty image size, but sound ain't small. Compare it to the larger (silent) version and see the difference a little sound makes.
