[5 More Minutes : Foamy The Squirrel]

Squirrely wrath!

This is Foamy at his brilliant best. A bit larger than most, but worth the extra time as this is better than your average flash from the Neurotically Yours series. As usual, it's a simple premise but it never fails to work, it goes down as a "must see".

[Ng AD]

Different

I'm not sure that what is effectively a banner ad has any place on the Portal, but anyway, if you ignore all the bad spelling, it's not a bad advertisement at all. Tells what NG had back in 2001, back when AYB was interesting. OK for old times sake.

[Driving]

Fair short

Not bad - relies heavily on the dialogue, which is funny enough to be worth listening to. The graphics are basic drawing wise, and there's not much in the way of animation, but what there is is good. Better than average, but nothing to get excited over.

[Dr. Shroud in: La Maudite]

Excellent dark flash

This is very good stuff - the graphical style was great, I loved the shadowy nature of everything, and there was a real atmosphere to the film. This is helped somewhat by the sounds which added a lot, something which frequently doesn't happen. A fair deal of violence, and the beginnings of a good plotline for future episodes.

[A Bearly Tolerable Pun]

Not a bad short

Heh, good pun. Drawings were nice, and the sounds were good. It's quick, funny and has some violence which is always useful. For the filesize, this is one of the best I've seen. Nice job.

[BRUTAL Shootout(complete)]

OK violence

Not too bad, graphics left something to be desired but they weren't horribly bad. There was plenty of violence, some comic, and there's a fair bit of action. It did need some structure and plot really, just a random collection of shooting doesn't cut it.

[stroll]

Interesting stuff

A surprisingly good FBF animation - lots of subtle comic moments, you may have to watch a couple of times to see everything. The music was well chosen and somehow makes it funnier. Worth watching, it's better than half the crap submitted daily.

[Amateur windmill.]

Erm...

It's a nice short animation, but that's all it is. As part of something bigger with more substance this might not have been bad, as it is it's over in two seconds and rather pointless.

[Hand of Dizoom!]

Wow!

It's a hand that moves a bit. Seems to work. No need to have submitted this to NG though.
