[Retarded Animal Babies 5]

Another great RAB installment

Possibly the first flash movie on NG long enough to set off my screensaver, this is yet another fantastic Retarded Animal Babies movie. While it may not reach the peaks of RAB3, it's still hilarious, and has everything you've come to expect. General idiocy, sharp graphics and cool sounds, and sweet violence (although less than in previous episodes). I'd love to see where this series could possibly go from here!

[Metroid spoof]

Alright sprite spoof

It's not bad, but it's rather unoriginal, had basic graphics and few sound effects (I believe the only sound was the music, and the Propellerheads have been used far too often). Not a great deal of plot to it either. It can get better if you put a bit of thought into the next one. And there's no need for that Green Day track at the end.

[MARIO vs plane]

Poor Mario short

This lacked everything - it wasn't funny, the graphics were crap, the sounds were poor, the violence was incredibly basic and simple to make, there was no interactivity. It's just an awful movie, which only gets 2/10 as it's more than 10 seconds long.

[Mario & Flag Pole]

Cool Mario parody

Lots of different comical flagpole stunts, a new take on Mario I haven't seen before. It's funny and imaginative, good effort!

[Banana's Switch]

Good for a quick laugh

It's short and funny, no more than you can ask from this sort of movie. I liked the music, and the ending was cool. Graphics were good. Don't know what else to say, I've covered most things. Nice job with this.

Thanks. Yeah, that was the general idea.
Should've uploaded earlier, if it wasn't for the fact I couldn't even enter NG for almost a day and a half. >=(

[Kirby]

Interesting VG spoof

Kirby on dope. It's an interesting concept, it's a shame the flash wasn't good enough to be worth watching - it was quite dull, had no sound and bored me.

[Quincy - Teaser]

Fairly pointless stuff

I didn't get it - it's just this Quincy character floating around, with some music in the background. As such I found it dull and pointless, and I didn't like it.

[A Simple Short]

OK, but basic if you think

This looked alright, had some good sound and that moving light effect at the end was really cool. But look at this another way - by doing that light increasing and decreasing thing, you didn't need to do any proper animation, instead you just showed several different stills from the sword fight. Not necessarily bad, but it could be better if we saw the actual fight going on.

[Empire State Building]

Good 3D effect

A nice use of 3D there, the building looked good and the zooming in and out was effective. Now put it into an actual movie and I might vote higher on it.
