Response

The response I had from the presentation was positive, focused on representing prejudices against LGBTQ+ identifies and minorities as '' wonderful '' for children to be able to understand and learn from. The only concern I had, was the worry that I wouldn't be successful in completing an animation by myself at the level I wanted.
