Good stuff!
Your definition of art, is maybe the best i have heard. I havnt heard too many but still this one stand out to me. I think youre right, anything can be art as long as it is beautiful to you, whether it be nature's art or anything else of the sort.
The graphics were great throughout this movie. There were maybe a few points where the characters could have been animated with more detail, like on the close ups. The drawings in general though were very good, and the black and white style was perfect for tihs kind of idea. It added a more "artistic" feel to the whole movie. The style was great too, and not only because of the black and white. The idea is really creative, kind of philosophical in a sense. I actually learned something from this, and i will probably use your definition if any body asks me. The sound was good but as you said in your comments, the recording wasnt the greatest, and neither was the voice acting. Sadly i have to agree with both those, i do know voice acting is difficult.
Overall this was a great flash, and its definitely different than most of the flash coming in day to day. Its always great to see something new, anyways keep em coming. 4/5
