[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.

[Wario: In Space]

Funny stuff

It's a below par concept, but funnily enough it works well and is quite funny. The Wario animation is good, and the sounds aren't too bad either. A nice short, does what it says it will.

DurianClock responds:

Haha Violence: 2.

[guy gets slapped]

Oh dear!

This is just like that crap movie that got turd of the week a couple of weeks back, only worse. It's a stick figure slapping another stick figure, with a screaming sound clip. It's incredibly bad. It only gets two on the humour as it's so bad it's funny.

[Skate...]

Good music, short film

Second scene was definitely better than the first, which to be honest stank, but it was too short generally. A lot of skate movies have more stunts, which are easier to see and animated better. At least this had a couple of bails in it, and had some fine music.

MikE7 responds:

well i thought so to but i dont care.
i'll put better music (i have kazaa back!!!) and adding on to it is getting less and less "fun"
