I appreciate you want this thing to take off Woggle, but if this was featured in a show along the lines of 'Dragon's Den', you'd get a hearty "Ah'm oot!" from Duncan Bannatyne.
Speaking as a web designer, your website is just objectively awful. I don't know who designed/coded it for you or if you did it yourself, but damn, that would look sub-par in 2004.
I see you animated the videos yourself. I really don't want to crush your dreams, but they look horrendous - very glitchy, with the wogglebug character model appearing to step through the text and exhibiting extremely bizarre movements, at least on the intro vid.
The logo is erm...well I don't think it's a *terrible* basic concept, but the execution is very, very poor. The wogglebug being off-center inside the heart sticks out the most I think and is annoying to look at. But then there's the rest of it, so...
Also, wouldn't there be some heavy copyright infringement from using a character from Baum's work? I imagine his estate wouldn't look too favourably on you (ab)using their intellectual property in this manner, assuming there is some kind of trademark on it. I wouldn't know if there is, or how the fuck any of this works.
The 2D drawings are actually quite nice (though need some refining), I recommend you expand on them and focus on it, instead of the apparently Satan-powered 3D animations. They are really that bad, I'm sorry.
Then there's the question of why you signed up here in the first place. Now I'm obviously not a mod or an admin, much as I'd like that level of power to bolster my ETERNAL WAR AGAINST THE COSMOS, but you've made less than 50 posts and seem to have built your whole account around promoting your work. That's somewhat frowned upon, I think, and there are other far more effective ways of advertising than doing it this way, if that was your goal. Ever heard of social media?
Overall I'd say you need to overhaul a MASSIVE amount, from top to bottom, to have even a chance of getting noticed. I know you just wanted people to look, but there is no way in hell I would go near this if I was a parent.
