[8 Bit D&D]

Tested on many, many animals

That was really funny - I found myself chuckling along to this. Nice idea for a movie, well made and worth watching more than once. It could have been better if it had have gone on a little bit longer, it seemed to stop abruptly. But that shouldn't take away from what is a very funny flash.

[Think Differently]

Different kind of flash

Some nice ideas you've got there, but in the end there wasn't enough happening to make it really worth watching. Adding some subtle background music or something might have made it better. The graphical effects were good, but that's all the movie was.

[Simple Simple Ep.1]

Just about passable

There's a couple of funny moments here, but it's just too short to be anything special. The sounds, instead of being cool like in MK, were just poor and inaudible, but the graphics were OK. Next time, try making it a bit longer, as you've clearly got some good ideas.

Sargasm responds:

The sounds were poor just because I couldn't find a good rip-off-MK-sound-archive! *laugh*
Thus home-made crappy sounds. (I had to match the quality with the movie... simple)

[The Frog]

Not too bad actually

I was expecting something that really stank given the score of this, but it's OK actually - it's short and there's no sound, but it's funny and that's good enough for a four from me.

[Behind the Portal: B]

Hilarious

A great parody, funny all over the place. Excellent idea. Nice graphics, OK if obvious sounds and some violence to boot. Only thing I could say is it's a little on the short side but that's not a big problem.

[Svd by bell in a nutshell]

Accurate I guess

I'm glad this one got protected, as I found it pretty funny. The graphics and sound weren't great, in fact it wasn't that good full stop, but it made me laugh in places and that's got to be a good thing. Next time, try and tidy it up a bit and you should score higher.

Glendale-SP responds:

Thanks :)

[The lesser species]

Solid movie

Very enjoyable - the sticks were OK and more than compensated by some cool lighting effects, and the Super Metroid music seemed very suitable, and is of course great. Nice violence, and if that was an easter egg at the end, the strawberry clock bit was funny. Good job, do more!

koolkiwi responds:

I'll bear that in mind!
woohoo!
Thanks for watchin'

[B]

B!

The genius of this submission is the simplicity - the sole red B on a white background. No need for five hundred layers of quality stick deaths when a B will do fine. OK, it sucks but it's funny.

[One Ring to Rule ThemAll2]

Not a LOTR fan

I'm not a big LOTR fan, so this was never going to appeal to me in a big way, in fact it got rather boring in places, but there was enough random humour to keep it going and make it worth watching. This was well made, same as the rest of your movies, with some good jokes and nice graphics. In short, it's good but not something I'd watch all the time. Others will enjoy it more.
