'twas Okay

But nothing more.

Weird Al surely made a funny song, but your 'animation' didn't in any way add to the humor. It was just simply depicting the lyrics in no special or noteworthy way. "Pirating music" made me chuckle a bit though, and overall your drawing style fitted neatly, so keep on practicing, especially when it comes to animation.

ok thanks. Ill have more animation in my next flash :)

Not so notable at all

IMO a very selfish message.

Wikipedia is a free, open encyclopedia and has the aim of collecting scientific knowledge about the respective topics. There are still a whole lot of entries on Wikipedia, which are - no offense - obsolete.

Apart from that, I found your submission quite cute and well drawn. I don't think it was especially funny, entertaining or original though. At least not funny, entertaining or original enough to mention your work in an encyclopedia. Don't get me wrong, your work isn't bad. But I find your request of including aspiring artists into Wikipedia. That would be like giving 2nd or 3rd Division soccer players their own Wiki-entry.

Frankly, I find that if a site is as large as Wikipedia is, they can find room for people who work every single day of their life at nothing more than making people happy through artwork. But perhaps they are "above" such things. I find no issue in giving 2nd or 3rd Division soccer players their own entry. The internet is certain big enough, and these people work just as hard as the 1st string, even if they don't get as much field time. But more than any of that, it is the WAY Wikipedia informs people that they are not permitted to be mentioned, with brash words like "non-notable - delete" or "fails". I do not agree with this method of dealing with people.

Anyway, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm glad you liked the art style of the cartoon and animation, even if you didn't agree with it. =)

VERY bad recording qualitiy!

I gave this movie a 3/5 because the recording quality was SO BAD, I couldn't understand even a half of the story. I can understand that it might have been necessary, but there are other ways to reduce file size than screwing up the voice overs...

Therefore it lost a lot of its sympathy with me, I think I had voted 5/5 and 10/10 if I had understood the voices properly.

Realmguys responds:

Actually, it has nothing to do with the recording quality. The noise you hear is flash's horrible sound compression. And no, there is nothing that can be done. To get this movie close to 5 megs, sound is what had to go. We had already stripped a bunch of artwork out. Both the artwork and sound suffered greatly, it was heartbreaking! Hopefully some time we can post streaming quicktime toons... then this can all be avoided. :)

I never liked the series very much...

Okay, somehow it's really original, but the way it is presented is quite boring. Not half as entertaining as playing Mortal Kombat I a second time after seeing all Fatalities.

I think you should really improve on the pace of your action. The drawing and animation by themselves are really good, but there are far too many far too long breaks between their actions.

I hope you'll make the ending a bit more fast-paced and longer. ~1½ mins at such a slow pace of action aren't very entertaining IMHO...

But don't take this personally, I just don't find it entertaining the way it is...

mchawking responds:

oh yeah I don't expect to make a perfect movie right away, it's going to take alot of practice. With thoughtful reviews like yours I will be able to improve.

Excellent work!

My only critic first: Animations could have been smoother, BUT!

1. Brilliant choice of music and pictures.

2. No Violence, no Swearing, no jokes, but VERY entertaining!

3. Nice technical work also, though the animations looked a bit strange at times!

AloneInTheDark responds:

Thank u for the review. The thing runned at 30 fps and if i drew each single frame it would have been smoother but then i probably would be working on it for another 3 months. Im glad u like it though!
