Didn't really get the point until I read the commentary, probably because I misenterpreted the mothers tears as tears of appreciation that the kid was making something for them, and probably because the wooden bowl seemed like a great idea and it seemed pretty stupid to switch back to bowls that'll inevitably get broken. The old man looks happy breaking the bowl too... wrong expression? Otherwise it's animated well, moves quickly, has fitting music and tells a story with a moral, just could use some more clarity IMO. Keep it going!
