Though I can see the similarites that everyone seems to be talking about calling it a wannabee is taking it to the extreme. I, for one, think you have a very distinct style that differentiates from Mr. Firth's quite a lot with everything from coloration/shading to animation/character style. I genuinely loved this little animation and found it to be relatively smooth with lively colors though if creepy was what you were going for, you didn't quite hit the nail on the head. But I could tell that a LOT of work had been put into this and I congratulate you on a job well done!
