[Halo 3 2:Halo 4 The Movie]

The most hilarious ending to any work of flash

First, I want to throw out that I hate Waterman. His cartoons have awful animation, the art is painful, and the humor is 90% lame. However, I'll give that Bryan a hand for your hilarious work of flash. There was some good art spackled with decent animation here in there, but any lack of detail just made it hilarious. The voice acting was one of my favorite parts. The characters, though some seemed out of place, made me laugh in their own way. The story was one dimensional but the plot wasn't really the defining element. The ending, however, had me laughing as I sent the work to all my friends. Great job to both of you, and Bryan; here's to redemption. Home run.

Changing the world through the art of song.

I love this cartoon. Normally I frown on hate cartoons thinking the animators are jealous of their opposer's talent, but this is a great flash. I absolutely loved the music. It was one of the most catchy tunes I've ever heard and the message was a valid one. I go on eBaum's world every so often to check out some of the videos but now I feel ashamed. I never stopped to think about the money the guy was making. I have a feeling this flash is going to be seen by a lot of people even if the only thing their friends tell them is "listen to this catchy song!" I would love to see Mr. Baumen steal THIS piece of work for his website.

[Castlevania 2 ( GGT )]

I got a kick out of it.

Artistically, I have no respect for you. Not only do sprites take no skill, but they've been done over and over. You could have at least used more detailed sprites. Anyway, for what it was, the animation was pretty dynamic. You definately have a skill with animating and the action was pretty tight. The music was just ripped from Zelda, Final Fantasy, and other games. I understand the use of Castlevania considering the theme of the movie, but everything else seemed out of place. Comically, it had its moments, but the genital jokes are getting old and I think just about everyone has heard the Superman one.

[Burnt Face Man 5]

Hey everyone; Burnt Face Man is back!

This was probably the worst episode yet... but it made me smile in a different way. This is the greatest come back of the century. It's good to have you back, Burnt Face Man.

[Metroid: The collab]

Nice work, guys...

Now I haven't gotten into the Metroid craze all that much but this was a solid collab. I liked the frame-by-frame one and the won with the purple pteradactyl mutant. Cheeks had an impressive piece. It's nice to see you stepping away from sprites and broadening your horizens for a change even if for just a shart time. You all did a nice job. Some did better than others but I'm too nice a guy to point out which.

[Sin City Tribute]

Not bad...

It didn't seem like there was very much too it. The visuals were solid but it looks like you just took pictures from the comic. The music didn't seem to fit very well either. The animation wasn't much itself either. Here's an idea (and I'm just tossing it up in the air). Why don't you make a comic with your own pictures and story line with the same simple animation. At least you'll have some points for animation. I've seen this done worse before but it's still nothing special. If you haven't actually read the novels I highly recomend it. Solid effort and congratulations on front page. I swear I'll get there someday...

[7 Feet under (Noir)]

About time you made a new episode.

I really enjoyed watching this piece. Very stylized and fresh use of color. What really pulled me in was the menu. I don't know why, but the music kept me looking at the menu for a while before I even started the movie. The music was perfect and the voices were as convincing as flash cartoons come. I loved the style too. To be honest, I wasn't really feeling the noir style all that much, but you know what? It's been done before. What really impressed me about the style was you firm grasp on pop culture. Simple but solid story and an upbeat feel made this a very impressive piece of animation. I watched this yesterday and I was absolutely disgusted to it got 5th place. This is one of the coolest flash I've seen. It deserves more.

[The Head - The Leg]

So, uh... yeah... why didn't this get first place?

I loved how everything was so abstract and stylized. The music was awesome too. For the style you were trying to depict, this cartoon was a flawless effort. I'm still trying to figure out what the hell just happened.

Beautiful

I've learned quite a bit from you, dude. Your tutorials grasped the balls of animators and showed us how to use a program we had little to no idea of how to use. Though I won't say you taught me everything, but I'd probably have no idea on how to use action script if it weren't for you. This is the first cartoon I've actually seen and now I realize you've had some serious expireance with this stuff. You are one impressive gent, my friend. Now if you'll excuse me I need to do some animating.

[X-Men: Revisiting Profit]

I love this series.

I think your cartoons in this series are hilarious but this one wasn't as good as the other ones... not the last one at least. I think you should have given Gambit a French accent. The cartoon was also pretty short. The last one was great. Wolverine with a Canadien accent was genious and the story was funny as all hell. This one, however, seemed like you didn't put in as much effort. It wasn't anywhere near as funny. I liked it though.
