Verdict

The softest scene in the test: a helmeted pelican by a lake, sparkles, reeds and a friendly caption. The wheels and pedals turn, the whole rider bobs, and the frame is properly connected. But the legs never move: the stylesheet defines leg-a and leg-b animations, then applies neither class to the SVG, so the feet stay frozen while the crank rotates underneath them. The wing rests on the chest rather than the handlebar, and there is no chain or playback control.

What works

  • Wheels, pedals, clouds and ground all animate; the rider bobs as one group.
  • A connected frame: both wheels, fork, saddle, bars and crank are present.
  • Warm, coherent art direction and a responsive 16:10 stage.

What breaks

  • The leg animations target .leg-a and .leg-b, but no element has those classes; the feet never move.
  • The crank rotates under two static feet, so the pedalling illusion collapses.
  • No chain, and the wing never reaches the handlebar.
