"Really cool"

Woah... how INTERESTING! This flash has a really unique feel to it. The character design is near professional quality, which I do not see on here often. Also remarkable is that you kept up the quality throughout the whole (long!) piece. I watched the movie before reading the authors notes, so I didn't know about how you took turns on it. But I definitely noticed how animations were rarely recycled, props were not recycled, and how the setting constantly changed (thus requiring loads more art!)

In the beginning, I felt it moved too slow and I was tempted to stop watching. However by the middle I sort of "got" what you were going for, and I was interested to see what the heck you would throw at us next. I wasn't disappointed, since you gave us cyborgs, zombies, and took us to outer space and back! The multiple natural ending points that DID NOT in fact end the flash were really amusing... I mean, the salt thing? THE ROBOT ARM GRABBING HIM? Going into a secret compartment after returning to real life, etc? Those parts were hilarious. I also liked the little digging underground scene. It added in some "parody" factor.

So overall very enjoyable; I am still impressed at the length and the dedication it took to keep going with it. In your next flash, I would suggest concentrating on making the action flow quicker and more smoothly, as another reviewer said. You could also play around with adding more in-betweens, although I know that was not the point of this particular movie. Good luck!

"Very impressive! Loved it!"

I learned so much from watching this! I thoroughly enjoyed it as well, thanks to the wonderful animation. It has the feel of homemade because of the occasional stray lines and slower framerate-- while still sustaining professional quality art throughout. So you've given the best of both worlds, imo (because I hate watching animation that is so realistic it might as well be live action!). And we viewers (probably the producers as well) REALLY appreciate how you incorporate truly new animations throughout the film, rather than recycling things.

The cartoon drawing style was really nice. It made me cringe when that tiny salmon looked all around and was alone. =( Plus that poor bear! And eeew, that cage full of lice! If you did animations like this for the discovery channel or the like, people would be way more into it because they can relate to the "characters".

So thanks for sharing!

"Bad rating"

Please change the "mild violence" rating to something more appropriate.

I liked the animation but the ending was too realistic to be funny.

"Awesome!"

I just listened to this for 20 minutes without noticing or getting bored of it. So gentle, so soothing! Great job, never heard this sort on NG.

"nice"

submission: The Passion For Music

I really love the sound of it. It kept building up, though, and around halfway through the song I was waiting for another, stronger theme to come in. It never did, and so it felt like it was dragging just a bit.

It would be so perfect for a flash if there were a little more diversity.

Score: 5
