Cute with smooth animation, though, on my screen, I believe it's moving a bit faster than intended?
Another thing, the shading to the snow on the ground could use a little work. Shading a few gray lines here and there looks a little tacky to me to be perfectly honest.
It might have been great to try using something with a bluer tint instead of just gray (note: I say light blue tint because the sky in this is blue and not, say, sunset orange....), and also to add shadows under the emotes would've tied them in more with the scene. As for the ground itself, it might help you figure out where to put the shadows if you come up with a more stable light source. Based on the emotes, it seems the light source would be coming from the upper left, so the snow to our left would have less shading and more highlights, and the right side being more shaded. However, basing it on the background, light would be coming from the middle of the image (horizon), and ... I can't say I know how to shade and highlight ground for that sort of direction well, so I'd suggest looking off of real picture. p: If anything I'd say that changing the backgrounds gradient so that the lightest part is at our upper left, and the darkest is at our lower right would be most sufficient and not time killing.
OTHERWISE. Good animation, cute idea that you've executed well. I like it. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="

It doesn't meet the height and width specifications. And if I cut it up, it won't!
