here's what I got (gawd I'm rusty)

Very good as always.
I especially like when you let the bird fly around in circles in the end,
no dead time.

That works quite well.

It seems the camera should continue to pull back to capture all of Cap'n Bill as he stands up.
It starts to pull back around frame 225 but then stops abruptly just as Cap'n Bill gets up and cuts off his head. Ouch.

Camera stuff... which has little bearing on the animation.
One can assume it'll be easily addressed at the appropriate time in edit.

The whole scene reads well and I really like the voices. Very comfortable.
I hope whomever polishes (will that be you Nancy?) will speed up the Ork a little more at the very end as he exits off screen. Flutter... Flutter... Flutter FlutterFluter... FlutterFlutterFlutterFlutter... FlutterFlutter... Zip!

Nice!

Edit: There is really some nice camera work in this sequence. I like the pull back/crane shot as Ork begins his departure. There is a nice feel to that.

Good grief! Fooled again. I thought it said "Orc Fight" and then I was wondering when orcs got into Oz.

Looks good. My only critique comes from my very first reaction, that I couldn't see more of Orc when he was talking with the other characters. In some spots he was just a head poking in from out of frame and I kept leaning over in my chair to see more of him. Maybe different framing or staging.

Just my lowly opinion. I will wait for an Orc "Fight"... maybe in "OZ 3: Revenge of the Orcs".

Welcome back to animation land Nancy! I think its lovely

Thanks for the comments folks

Rodney - I changed the camera when Bill stands up to not cut off his head (bothered me too), and I changed the exit path of the Ork, to make him "zip" a bit at the end (good idea). Tho now when I look at it - it could stand even more tweaking on the exit path/timing. But tis time to move on.

Vern - This is the last scene in which the Ork appears - so by now the audience has seen him plenty - so the framing will probably not be as disturbing, tho it could be better. What the audience hasn't seen (I think?) is how he flys in helicopter mode - so that is the "partial reason" I've clipped him in the fov. The other reasons are he's tricky to animate, difficult to frame with Bill and Trot because of his big size, and I'm a lazy twit who will try and get away with as much as I can.

Hey now!
If you go around finishing things that quickly whats left to critique!!!

Looks good to me.
Methinks the rest is mostly all finesse, color and lighting.
