I guess it is not stealing
It was nice of you to say that you got permission in the response from the review below me. Anyway, I thought this was pretty loyal to the feel of the Epic Beard Man cartoon, but it was not your own work. I also think the lip-synching is off, or there might be something wrong with the sound. We have all heard of Epic Beard Man now. I guess it was a good flash to go from, even if it itself was not one of my favorites. Next time, you should really work harder to make something that is your own.
