“Told in a striking mix of animation and live action, it’s a singular vision of innocence struggling to survive in a dark and uncaring universe – and it’s quite funny to boot.” [FilmInk]

“This Is Desmondo Ray’s artful visual style, which mixes animation with live action, places it among the most gorgeous shows on the web. Pay too much attention to the colorful backdrop, however, and you’ll miss Desmondo Ray’s sweet, empathetic sensibilities.” [Tubefilter]
