Hi, we had other entries from teenagers with similar skills, so Euan's work is not an outlier:

Thank you for direct links to these. Winner is obviously much outlierier than these other two "mere mortal" young animators.

Mentally daydreaming, my thoughts flash back to 2002 — back when a simple 16-color, ten second animation (done by a peer at our elite creative arts HS) took days to render [PowerMacG4MDD Rage128 FTW!] and secured this peer artist acclaim from his classsmates, state, and future creative employers.

How far we've come. To where we'll go. Just incredible — can't imagine what the next decades will allow, but looking forward to robotic dumplings/streetfood.

I hope works of these extremely talented kids were not demotivating for other contenders
You're showing the winners not the nominee's its pretty clear what's going on here.
