Ice Age Reel!!!

Here it is! My reel from Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs! These shots are what I completed during my 6 weeks as a temp animator at Blue Sky Studios. All clips are copyright Twentieth Century Fox. I am responsible for all character animation in the shots except for the following:
Shot 1: “This is my kind of place” - Only animated Diego and Manny; NOT Buck.
Shot 5: “Plates of Whoa” - Only animated the part where Buck is drawing; NOT the falling plates.
Shot 6: “I never thought of going back” - Only animated the background characters; NOT Buck

(Click the image above to see the reel)

And here's an image of my name in the credits.
(Thanks to Alexiss for this)

"Thief!" - Spline Stage

So, it's been a while, but here's an update to my shot. I've finished refining the spline pass and am posting it for comments and critique. I need to go back in for another polish pass, but I've been watching it waaaayyyyy too many times, and I can't tell what I like about it or not anymore. Advice is always very much appreciated!
