reminds me of a children tv series named "danny phantom" (title of it in germany, not sure hgow the name is in other countrys). the teacher in this tv series looks like this....
my conclusion: horrible tv series, well done pixelart!
this is a really nice animation, but what is the whit bit in his beard??????
I can take some beating.

And here comes the update.
uh oh looks like you're getting a crash course in pixel art purism. Good in small doses.

I'm probably not the only one who was wondering about that pixel :)
whops, you are right.
Will fix that as soon as I get home.
The character looks good, but the background is not pixel art, and somehow you have a lot of colors in the character. Look here: http://hivemind.in/pj/specs/index.php?urls=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pixeljoint.com%2Ffiles%2Ficons%2F8bitbeard.gif
