I agree with Ralph, although I find it harder to read text on a white
background. Still, stick with plain, high contrast colors. I personally
like white on a deep blue (http://www.phred.org/~alex/bikes is setup this
way, but has nothing to do with Lego).
The balls that are supposed to chase the mouse pointer are annoying and
don't work properly for me (IE5.0 on Windows 2000). The balls are about 100
pixels to the left of the mouse cursor.
The music is really annoying.
The green text and red text on black is hard to read, and your background
just makes it even harder. Red is especially hard, as red is fairly low
contrast against black.
The robots are cool, but all of this animation just distracts from them.
