[Braden Gets Canned]

Short comedy film

Quick and easy to view, this is funny - has some interactivity as well, which is always a bonus. Nice idea, ok to watch even if I have no idea who Braden is. Sound wasn't great and could have been improved.

[Smoke]

Funny short film

It made me laugh, and the ending was great if a tad predictable. Animation was basic but suited the movie in my opinion, and the sounds were nice. Maybe could have been a little longer, or there could have been a better background, but it was an enjoyable short film.

[-= PEE MAN II =-]

Oh, the humanity!

I loved this. Crazy rapid action, mad and mental music, things happening everywhere faster than the eye can see. Extremely cool and very funny, only way it could be better is if it was a bit longer, but it looks good as it is. Worthy of a daily award in my opinion.

[Wicked-Sticks]

Stick fight, again

Yet another of the millions of stick fights that are on NG - this one wasn't too bad, but was nothing special. Music was good, and the sound effects were suitable. The animation wasn't bad, but the background was rather bland. Middle of the road to be honest.

[SHINGO Trailer]

Promising looking trailer...

This is looking good, the graphics look very cool and the sounds add some nice atmosphere. However, this was posted about a year and a half ago, so I'm guessing there will be no final movie. Which is a shame. It's still a good trailer though.

[The Wrath of MetalSonic]

Good sprite fight

Nice sprite animation, with a choice of multiple endings which was refreshing. It would have been a lot better if there was a background other than a simple white screen, but the fight was well made and looked good.

[The long life road]

Simple, effective comedy

Fun to watch, I agree with waynecolt that the background effect was cool, and the animation of the wings looked great. Sounds were OK, and the concept was good, even if the ending was obvious. I don't like the way it cut away to a black screen whenever there was any speech (subtitles at the bottom would have been better), but this was simple and funny.

[What if?]

Weak fart joke

This is well drawn, but it's not funny and doesn't make much sense. A selection of people, put to a selection of fart noises. Not the sort of thing that I'd go out of my way to watch, and there was no final punchline, unless a big emission of what looked like methane from the earth counts as a punchline. Could have been a lot better.

[Skater's Surprise!]

OK cartoon, nice concept

Was long enough to be interesting, but it was just leading up to an obvious joke. It's good, the graphics and sounds are good, but I just didn't find it that funny.

[the boy who...]

Above average kid injuring short

This is well made, well drawn and the sounds are good, and the violence is cool. I just expected it to be a bit longer, rather than just one falling down the stairs sequence. Funny and good to watch, it's just over far too quickly.
