"Pretty good"

submission: The Mighty Quinn

date: January 31, 2009

Hey not bad. Deffinatly not bad. The style of the movie was quite nice, with all the colors and the 60's music. I must say I actually kinda liked the song. I´m personally quite a fan of 60's and 70's music, so good choice of music in my opinion. Also it´s nice to see a music video with an older song. The average choice of music here is songs from bands like Muse (really don´t like them) or Linkin Park or whatever, so it´s nice to see a change.

As for what to improve. Well, the drawings could´ve been slightly better. And then I am especially talking about the people in the movie, as most of the other stuff looked nice actually (pidgeons were very good). I´m not saying that the people were drawn badly, it was surely much better then I have ever done, but still they seemed fairly basic.

Another complaint that I have is that the movie kinda dragged on a bit. It was rather long and I must admit that I got kinda bored in the end. So perhaps next time make your vids a little shorter (or find a way to keep it interesting until the very end).

Overall 7 out of 10, 3 out of 5. All in all I must say I liked it really. I think you have quite a lot of potential. I would say just keep practicing on drawing and I´m sure you´re not gonna have that much trouble with winning any awards in the future.

"Another funny voice-over"

submission: Zoras Need Cafine

date: January 31, 2009

This was a funny little short in my opinion. Not the best thing I´ve seen from you, but certainly a very nice one. Good voice-acting once again, you got a good voice for these sort of things and you also have a good microphone it seems since the recording is of good quality. You voiced the girl really well too by the way.

Anyways, I thought the last shot was quite hilarious and timed really well. I had to laught pretty hard there. Also liked the "I´m gonna wright a song about it"-joke, that really seemed to come out of nowhere :p Did you improvise that or what? Those were the best moments in my opinion, the rest of the movie was alright.

Overall 8 out of 10, 4 out of 5. Indeed it gave me a decent laugh. It was a little short, but sweet. Hope you´re gonna continue making these. Keep up the excellent work and good luck with any future projects.

"Funny little short"

submission: Old Lady Vs. Chicken

date: January 30, 2009

Quite a funny little short, managed to put a smile on my face. I especially liked the style of this movie. The colors you used, the text, the simple music, the foot picture in the end. The foot kinda reminded me a bit of the Quest for the Holy Grail movie by Monty Python. But anyways, that was all nice in my opinion.

As for the bad stuff, well it was indeed very short with not much of a plot and it didn´t really make much sense or anything. But I suppose the only goal was just to make a funny little short and I think it did succeed in that. The only thing I could say is, perhaps you should add a replay button. Couldn´t find one in the ending screen and I did want to see it again before reviewing. I could of course just press right mouse button and press play, which works but it´s a bit unprofessional.

Overall 6 out of 10, 3 out of 5. Not a great movie, but it was nice. I do hope you´re gonna continue making flashes, because this was promising in my opinion. I think you´re able to make award winning material if you put some extra effort in making flashes. Anyway, keep up the good work and good luck with any future projects.

"Not bad"

submission: Waddle Dee's wild day 1/3

date: January 29, 2009

It´s a fairly good flash in my opinion. It´s not the best sprite cartoon out there, but it is deffinatly not bad. I think the music is the main good part of this actually. It was very cheerful, which turned this into a funny little cartoon. And personally I kinda like absurdish, random, "stupid" jokes, so I also kinda liked this cartoon. It´s good that you made everything fast paced, because I think that really added to the humor.

A few things though. The menuscreen could use some more work. It looked VERY basic, with just some squares as buttons and a white background. It´s not the most important part of the movie, but it still is the first thing you see you know. So work a bit on that, give it a nicer lay-out. It was good that it had scene selection by the way.

I think you also need to work a bit on animating sprites still. This was quite a fast paced movie like I said, but sometimes everything did not look so smooth. Like some stuff not exactly moving, but teleporting along the screen. So work a bit on your animating skills and try to take a little bit more time on certain scenes.

And one last thing: I couldn´t read the black text at the end. Probably wasn´t that important, but if it was some joke I suggest you change the color to make it more readible.

Overall 6 out of 10, 3 out of 5. It´s not the best thing out there, but it´s quite enjoyable still. Some parts seemed a little rushed, but to me it seems like you did your best here. Anyway, I do hope you´re gonna continue making flashes because I thought this was quite promising. Just keep practicing and you might win a few awards sooner or later.

"Nice timewaster"

submission: Floor of Irritation

date: January 29, 2009

A nice little time-waster game. The idea behind it isn´t very original, seen plenty of games like this. But it was well made, and deffinatly a good version of it. This one was very challenging too. The levels were quite diffecult even early on and sometimes I noticed it was better to just run instead of standing still to think.

I thought the lay-out was especially good. I liked the digital text, which gave it kind of a high-tech feel. The password system was also a good idea, better than a save function in my opinion cause I lose those files all the time when clearing up my internet files. The music was okay in my opinion. It was kinda on the edge of not getting on my nerves, so perhaps it could´ve been better.

As for what to improve: Well, I think the game is fine as it is now, but you could always add some stuff to make it more interesting. It would perhaps be nice for example if there was a death counter somewhere or/and a timer. Those might give it more replay value as players might start to try and beat their old scores. What could also be nice is certain upgrades. Like being able to move faster/slow down time, stuff like that. Those kind of things always make a game more interesting.

Overall 7 out of 10, 3 out of 5. Nice little timewaster like I said. Did get a little bored with it after a while, but oh well. Anyways, if you keep going like this I´m sure it won´t take long before you win your first trophies.

"Another good one"

submission: Zelda: Don Keyote 3

date: January 29, 2009

Another great episode. Liked the reference to Ocarina of Time and the scene that came along with it. "Now you are paralyzed in my magical circle of arrows" made me laugh. "Did you know that crime is a criminal offence in this area?" was another funny line.

As for the voice-acting: The girls voice sounded a bit weird in my opinion. It was good, but reminded me of a typical voice-actor for cartoons on tv. Especially during the first lines that she said. Later I thought she (or he I could hardly tell) did a bit worse, but it was still fine overall.

Overall 10 out of 10, 5 out of 5. So I watched and reviewed all the episodes now. If I had to put the episodes in order of how much I like them, it would be 1,4,3,2 probably. Four and three being almost a tie. Anyway, as I already stated in former reviews, I liked this series a lot. Very entertaining and it has become one of my favorite series on Newgrounds. I think WW was a very good choice for the story you created and is generally a good game to create funny movies like these with. Hope you´re gonna make some more in the future with WW´s Link as a main character.

"Nice one again"

submission: Zelda: Don Keyote 2

date: January 29, 2009

Lol nice episode again. Not my favorite to be honest, but it had it´s moments and was again a very enjoyable one to watch. I liked what you did with the in-game expressions on Links face again. The commentary you gave again fitted well with the faces he made. Especially "What was I doing again?" with the huge hammer in his hands.

Also liked the slow motion scene, and had to laugh at: "if it isn´t one of those cute little boys who carry around a dangerous arsenal of weapons" :p What I couldn´t understand by the way was what the little girl said in the flashbacks. I assume it´s something funny that doesn´t really make sense, but couldn´t hear it sadly. Subtitles would be nice in such cases, but the voice-acting is good and clear for the rest so perhaps subtitles are not that necessary.

Overall 9 out of 10, 5 out of 5. Wasn´t the best episode like I said, but still a very good one. Added this one to favorites as well. So that leaves only one episode that I haven´t reviewed yet, and that´s the third one. Off to review it now.

"Nice"

submission: The Real Legend 3

date: January 28, 2009

If I remember the graphics from the real legend 2 well, I can see you really improved on animating and drawings over the years. Especially the first scenes were very impressive with nice effects and details. I also liked the music you used, re-orchestrated versions of the original themes. I wonder if you got them from zreomusic, I thought I heard some themes in this that were from that site.

The voice-acting wasn´t always that great in my opinion though, which caused that some jokes didn´t come over as well as they should´ve. And I didn´t like all the jokes to be honest, but some were pretty funny. The Jabu-Jabu´s belly scene, the Darunia scene and the scene where he broke into the house were nice ones. The twisting head was also a bit weird but funny nonetheless, I kinda like those kind of jokes.

Another thing, I missed a scene selection/menu. Wanted to view some scenes again before reviewing it and had to sit through the entire movie again. So, a scene selection would be nice next time.

Overall 10 out of 10, 5 out of 5. I enjoyed watching it and I´m looking forward to the next episode. Hopefully it won´t take another few years, but I can imagine you wanna take your time for these. Shorter episodes is indeed a good idea, I´d rather see 3 minutes every few months than 15 minutes every few years. Keep up the excellent work and good luck with your next projects.

"Good for a soundboard"

submission: Willy Wonka Soundboard

date: January 27, 2009

Not such a big fan of sound boards, but this was fairly good one. Agreed that the older movie was better than the new one. Although the newer one was better visually, it had a lot of weird scenes and dialogue. So I´m glad you used sounds of the older one.

The lay-out was made fairly well in my opinion. It looked nice and colorful and everything was easy to find and read. The sounds were of a very good quality which is a must in case of soundboards. It was just a bit strange however that some of the sounds were implented twice. Contract had the same lines at the end as You Lose, same goes for Scratch and Reverse and Contract and Chocolate. Perhaps you should´ve just split these up, especially Chocolate since that one was incredibly long.

By the way, I also missed the Umpa Lumpa song, would be nice if you added that somewhere.

Overall 6 out of 10, 3 out of 5. It was good for a soundboard. Did actually enjoy listening to it as it brought back memories from the movie which I last saw a looong time ago. Keep up the good work.

"Couldn´t understand a word"

submission: My Zelda Cd-i cutscenes

date: January 26, 2009

I could barily hear a single word in this movie. The only point that was slightly understandible was the part with Ganon, but even that was still very unclear and I only heard: "It buuurrrrnsss". If I could´ve actually heard what was said, I think it would have been way funnier. Just a bunch of shouting and random noise isn´t really my type of humor to be honest.

So what I suggest next time is you create some funny dialogue and actually make it understandible to the viewer. I suppose a little noise and shouting is okay since it is a spam/parody flash after all, but perhaps put some subtitles in so that we can also get a laugh from it.

The drawings and animation were the only thing that were at least a little bit good by the way. With that, I do think you could produce some good flashes if you actually wanted to.

Overall 2 out 10, 1 out of 5. I have to give it to you though, it still is an "improvement on the game" as the dialogue in the original was so horrible that you´d rather listen to the noise in this one.
