"I love your direction style. The way you make every scene just interesting in its own way... it's a pretty dialogue heavy piece, so the way you managed to offset that with all the interesting changes in imagery, and just overall the way you represent different ideas in differing and abstract ways - that really appeals to me." - Texline666, upon viewing a WIP cut of the film, October 18, 2024.
"I love the voice acting. You all sound lovely. I get vague Peanuts vibes from this. Not sure why, but I enjoy it. Great job" - Jojo, YouTube comment, November 19, 2024.
"Hey dude was watching your Beatles collection and this popped up. Really well done man as someone with autism I can relate to a lot of what you’re presenting here! Well animated well voiced and defo deserving of at least a like from me" - Gromit, YouTube comment, November 19, 2024.
"That last song sounded very early Zappa - kinda something off the first record. Wow, there's so much in there! You did a lot. I love the principal of the school, he got the square head, and in the back the cross on the wall and he talks about school shootings... there's a lot of stuff in this. You hit a lot of great points." - Eric Schermerhorn, to me via Zoom upon first viewing, November 19, 2024.
"Great work!" - Richard O'Connor, YouTube comment via the Ace and Son YouTube account, November 20, 2024.
"CONGRATULATIONS on finishing Disabled World! It's so good!!!! Thank you for inviting me to be a part of it!!!" - Devery Doleman, email to me, November 23, 2024.
"This is wonderful, thank you for making this. With all of my little quirks, I'm always worried that I'm going to drive away even other adhd/anxious/autistic people, and sometimes I DO annoy people for reasons outside of my control, but one things for certain, infighting isn't going to help anyone, especially with the cruelty we face daily. I just hope we can all be a little more open minded to each other and our struggles." - Wild Stork, YouTube comment, February 3, 2025.
"Always awesome to see actual nuanced conversations and depictions about developmental and mental disabilities. It's not all sunshine and roses; sometimes we are abrasive, rude, and angry, sometimes justifiably, sometimes not. But that is human, we are human, and we aren't going away." - CT Murphy, YouTube comment, February 13, 2025.
"Y'all - this is an excellent short video about various neurological/mental disorders and how people are treated (with misunderstanding, meanness, and sometimes, kindness). And it's from Abilene!! Who knew? Great job!!" - SJSCentralTX, Bluesky post, February 18, 2025.
"I liked it a lot. It gave me some home movie vibes, which is a good thing, and I think it's cool that you did the music for it. I liked all the little bits where, y'know, while they were talking something would change, or their outfit would change, or something. That was clever. I couldn't make that!" - Tony Bedard, to me personally upon first viewing, April 6, 2025.
"Great short film, Charles! I think I’ll show this to my daughter who has a newfound love of cursing and (we suspect) as-yet-undiagnosed OCD. I took one of the strips from your flyer at Mezamiz several weeks ago and just now found it in my wallet and remembered to look it up. I thought it was funny that the interior of the “coffee shop” in the film is actually from the south side Dairy Queen, but I love the blend of photos with animation, the queer and disabled representation, and the little Easter eggs for Abileneans like the anti-Eagles rhetoric in the Cooper principal’s office." - Joshua Alkire, YouTube comment, April 24, 2025.
