The whole animation is very realistic and good, but there is one twist. Why does he put both of his legs on the door, instead of the wall? The result would be not the door opening but breaking of the door handle

the motion looks an awful lot like this clip i saw in summer 06's animation mentor student reel. but other than that i think its great animation. good point brought by thirt33n tho, having both feet on the door is just silly

Both feet on the door adds to the characters stupidity. Its supposed to have both feet on the door otherwise how would the door swing open the other direction? Meanwhile cartoon real is a different land I've seen cartoon characters do that before both feet on the door trying to pull it. I really like the stop look at the camera nice.

I like it I think its funny. Good job.

Not too bad. Basic timing is there and it's very readable. Probably the biggest thing it's lacking is weight. Try keeping him in that first 'pull back
pose at the start... just hold it a little longer (will give more exaggeration). The climb onto the door is good... the timing is good there, too. Overall, I'd still move quicker between the poses. Feels a little floaty at times... Needs more up and down in the hips... Your off to a good start, though!
