Quite subtle, and I'm smiles all over.

Glad that you added the spoiler (the reference to Duck Amuck) or I wouldn't have bothered to watch the whole thing and would have missed out. Very cute.

This is great! I love how the narrator barely reacts when his animation comes to life. Vaguely reminds me of Animator vs. Animation, from a few years back. This one ends a bit more realistically, though.

The same creator did the more-subtle "Advanced Facial Rig Demonstration" and "Ball Bounce Animation" (that is not really a ball).

This is also reminiscent of the Animator vs. Animation series 1, 2, 3, 4 (previously here, but with dead links)

He has that affectless YouTube narration down pat. Are the other 268 as good and informative? Looking forward to the upcoming fifty more lessons. (!)

My milk came out my nose. Good thing I wasn't drinking Dr. Pepper!

The best sly joke in here is that the jump they spent 268 lessons perfecting is completely terrible.
