I did this part in TVPaint, the other parts were done in Animate CC!

Oh I see...I still have some trouble working with animate CC but I guess it's just lack of practice then...
Thank you so much!!

What exactly is the difference? ^^" Isn't it usually one drawing per frame?

There's 34 individual drawings that make up the animation. those 34 frames are distributed over the 95 frames of animation, which is the entire length of the animation. TVPaint breaks down whats going on with frame/drawing/exposure counts real nice so here ya go: dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/58… ;
Depending on your frame rate (12, 24, 30 fps) and your style of animation, there won't always be one drawing per frame (so 12, 24, or 30 drawings per second respectively). GENERALLY, animators work at 24 fps with 12 drawings that are on 2's (the drawing is exposed for 2 frames): 2(the exposure)x12(the number of drawings)=24(the frame rate. The drawing count per second will be even less if you have holds anywhere in your animation (i.e. I held that first drawing for 10 frames)

Both I suppose, I have a degree in animation but I end up wearing many different art hats as jobs come up!

Well, I find a lot of things/people cute, weather if it's like baby animal cute or really sweet person cute. He's a bit of both ^^
