I saw a GIF of this on Reddit and I hated it because it cut it off on the 'ALWAYS' That's such an old joke - I was almost angry at it. Seeing it here with all your lovely art, animation, and voices - I feel much better. The second half keept it from being stale as opposed to the GIF and I personally find text gags like the 'YES' at the end hilarious.

REVISED OPINION: NICE WORK!

redminus responds:

yeah whoever made that gif is a fucking idiot

PRetty good for a first try.

I've certainly seen worse 1st submissions to Newgrounds so good job on that. As far as your cartoon goes, try working with more movement in your animations. Movement, even subtle ones, holds the audience's interest even during slow scenes.

Other than that, nice first attempt. Go for gold and make it longer, more animated, and with more color next time!

TheIncredibleD responds:

I will do that, next time. Walking, ect.
I do admit I slacked a bit in this, I was just messing around really, but I thought I'd put it up here to see what you people think. As for colour, I was experimenting a bit, but I think in my next one I will have more colour. This was just sort of built around the preloader.

Would've done for better in the collab.

On it's own though it doesn't justify the 4.7MB file size.

The first set of dialouge lagged behind the animation - so that was weird and the joke - well...it was so-so.

Keep trying, hopefully you'll get in next time!

ajch22 responds:

constructive criticism is always good, thanks, and about the lag, that´s weird, my computer is pretty decent and didn´t seem to lag on it, maybe i should check that out, it´s on youtube if you want to watch it lagless, and yeah, the menu and all that stuff was what made it so big.

Twas alright, just some polish needed.

You've done quite well merging events with music, the whole sequence flowed pretty well. I, however, found it rather hard to follow what was going on sometimes thanks to the blur filter. Try and limit using the blur filter to point where it's actually logical and appropriate to use (for example, when an object enters the scene, blur the background but ALSO unblur the object so focus is brought to it).

Additionally, I didn't really know what was going on but perhaps viewing the rest of your series would help. I dunno, maybe flesh out you story more so everyone can enjoy it even if they haven't seen the rest of the series?

Other than that, pretty good work. With some practice you'll be on the way to making some really superb stuff.

Fate responds:

thanks.
Yeah, the opening was a bit extensive in the blurring, but that was the style I felt it needed.
Thanks for the review.

Yes I know I'm one of the authors.

But I sure can citique everyone else d:

2k_rammerizkool: Well I know you can do much better now but that was funny for what it was. The only part I really didn't like was the noise the guy made when he ate the flower...loud and painful. Otherwise great.

Myself: Well I still laugh when I watch mine so that must mean I easily amuse myself. The clicking does get annoying though, I should've turned it off after the movie ended.

Magical_Bob: Wow....erm...I'm sure you've improved but all the pretty mcuh happened in yours was a tweened hopping guy. The falling was funny once, at least yours let everyone hear the music that was supposed to tie these together.

Actually, now that I think about it, all the movies had either a flower or death..thats theme enough isn't it? d:

Rammer responds:

2k_rammerizkool: lol, you silly goose. sorry about the sound quality. i should have re-done that sound. meh. MEH.

AKA_Ben: Well you know Self, I think you brought out some interesting points, the clicking really bothered you eh? Thanks for pointing that out, and it IS funny that we all had the same topic, death and flowers *chuckles*

Sorry I didn't find that annoying

but that doesn't mean it was a bad cartoon. I didn't find much humor in this at all. The "annoying" character was hardly annoying at all. If you really want to get on peoples nerves, try taking a poll on what people hate, combine those elements, and drag it out for three minutes. You may also want to consider leting the viewer kill the annoying person.

ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

Hmmmm. A game, eh? Hmmmmmmmm. (<Thats my thinking sound, you see)

Wow pretty good animation

Didn't get what story there was (if one was intended). The animations were great. I also like how you gave your sticks faces. Good job!

45288 responds:

wow people are liking this movie i didnt think they really would cool

That sucked.

Thought there was more to it then I realized it was just a bunch of words, phrases, and sound clips being looped over and over again. -guess I die now.

StrawberryLock responds:

Yeah, sorry, thats the way it goes.

OMG this sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok...first of all the graphics and animation are horrible, each one seemes to be about two frames long just being looped over and over again to that shity music. Second the movie just flat out sucked. I wish people wouldn't flood the portal with this king of worthless crap. Next time I hope this guy makes somthing that actually has a point (thats not to make you cuss because of craptacular animation and horrible music)! BLAM THIS PIECE OF SHIT!!!!!!!!

Flaming-J responds:

13 year old Flash making sensation Ben thinks the movie sucks. Well maybe your "charicters" will be better than mine, eh?

Hello there! My name is Ben Fischl and I assume that it's nice to meet you. I have a wide range of skills ranging from animation, to voice acting, and music making! I'm always down to work on a solid idea - so please hit me up!
