    It's funny. I can't remember exactly when, but somewhere from 2012-2014 I came across this film; I was about 13-15. After watching your film, knew I truly wanted to become a professional artist/animator. Now come a little over 4-6 years later I'm in my first week of my very first semester of college.
    Honestly, it's been overwhelming. After being homeschooled for about 9-10 years and now going back to a classroom/homework loaded setting, I almost wanted to throw in the towel saying "This is not for me." Now today, after I came back to this film, I remember why I wanted to go into college. It's gonna be hard, especially the general ed, but I'll get there. In a few years time, I'll be the one making my own film and maybe I'll inspire a new generation of young artists.
    Thank you for making Crayon Dragon. I wouldn't be pursuing my dream without it.

      @@olivianendick6911 I won't lie, it's still scary for me too. But if you have the drive and passion to pursue animation then don't let fear stop you for anything. Also don't be afraid to make mistakes, embrace them. We learn more from our failures than our successes.
      And don't be afraid to ask for help from peers or professors.
