Rabbit Trap
By: ANGEL PURPLE by Magika & Almanzo
Bound by a forbidden pact, the angels Magika and Almanzo accidentally opened a doorway between worlds, condemning themselves to a life of servitude under demonic rule. After a mysterious death casts suspicion on Almanzo, they are sent to recover sacred crystals said to restore a lost soul. Unaware that each crystal weakens their own protection, they walk willingly into a deadly trap where the final price is about to be paid.

JUDGE COMMENTS
Judges comments are anonymous.
The editing and transition animations were well done, and the SLEA region was clearly represented. However, I found myself confused in the beginning about the relationships between the characters, and the storyline was a little difficult to follow.
very sl-like, i dont like the voice work at all
There are a lot of creative ideas packed into the film, and the ambition behind the storytelling is clear. The result is a memorable entry that feels imaginative and immersive.
I liked the sets alot and the avatar craftsmanship.
I've been following this director's work for awhile, so it was really nice to see the story play out on the SLEA region. Very good use of the region, and the transitions helped a lot.
