I've got an idea that might get a more reasonable offer from distributors.

I'm very impressed! here's my suggestion: why don't you ask some talented young musicians to “knock off” the music for free or deferred pay. Of course you’d have to redo your mix and strike new prints, both huge ordeals. But it might be worth it, because then YOU would own the rights to the music & you could finally sell your film. Hope this helps. Good luck! First of all, kudos for pulling off the incredibly difficult feat of making an animated independent feature film. I’m very impressed!

Post somewhere for free (I am a little vague on those details, I believe in this case it was hulu) and then sell on iTunes as well. I would be happy to buy a fellow animator's work, and pass on the link to friends as well. Best of luck with all of your adventures!

I was hoping to someday buy your movie on blu-ray. :) Please look in to releasing your film on bit torrent. Maybe even release it as a creative commons with source files? Contact some of the bit torrent server admins from piratebay or mininova, they might help you get it out there. Don't quit now. Things will get better.

I was looking for them again but sadly could not find them. I hope you manage to get it out somehow, I remember enjoying what I did see and hoped to see the finished movie sometime.
