[Mario Short]

One of the better shorts around

A nice short Mario parody, I really liked the idea of multiple endings. The third one was really quite humourous. Keep it up.

[Pac-man advanced]

I was expecting a game...

As it was, this short was pretty poor, with crap sound and mediocre graphics. No story either - Pacman shoots the ghosts. Big deal.

[How To Prevent Pregnancy]

Mildly amusing

What there was was quite funny - it's a shame there wasn't enough of it to make this get higher marks. The music seemed quite apt for the submission.

It was short do to the fact it was one of my first animations with flash.... aside from the bouncing ball in the tutorial :)

[Ningen]

Finish this! Finish this!!!!!!!!!

That is a superb piece of work, I want to see the ending as soon as possible! Some fantastic graphics, some of the best I've seen on the portal, some nice sound samples in use as well. It probably would be better if you showed us the whole thing in one go, but hey, that's your choice. Nice work.

[How a goldfish must feel]

Respectable short

Nice point you have there, and some nice music you used, but it could have been a little louder. Please make longer cartoons, this was good for what it was.

[Flip Book Bite]

An average animation

The animation was pretty good, but there was very little in the way of storyline to speak of. Add some colour if you can, make it a bit longer as well. Sounds were good.

PezDSpensr responds:

You're right! I wasn't really going for story, just a little show to my daughters what Flash could be used for. Animation is fun and I'm glad I could introduce her to it...

[Stick Skate (old crap)]

An OK stick movie

This is one of the better stick skate movies I've seen, but that's not saying much as they usually suck. Some ok animation there, but a follow up will need to be longer and have improved graphics ideally.

MAGmcp responds:

well thats whats waiting in part 2...
more tricks and spots, different styles, easter eggs (hidden scenes), bails, skate humor, slow motion replays, smoother animation, smoother artwork, etc

if this one doesnt get blammed i think i should keep going !

and to all the stick haters - im sorry but i just love stick movies.... and since i skate and i love stick movies i make stick skating movies :)

[Incredible machine]

Give props to Honda...

Very very similar to the Honda Accord advert - it's pretty good. Do more!

[explodeing... thing]

Deserved more than 0.2...

Probably deserved to be rated 0.4ish. Comical.

[Stick Pong (Very Bloody)]

Interesting effort

Just browsing through the lower end of the portal and found this. It doesn't deserve to be rated as low as it is. It's not good, but it was mildly amusing. A longer version with non-stick graphics would be cool.
