[It's a can.]

Yes, it IS a can

Very descriptive, accurate title you have there. It's a can, being crushed and uncrushed, repeatedly, with some random, very quiet, short tick-esque sound in the background. It's an accurate representation of a can being crushed, one just has to wonder what possessed you to make this into a flash? You clearly weren't drunk, as it was a can of *coke*...

[Roll Out teh Barrel]

Good enough to stop SOAD for

I interrupted Darts for this... and I wasn't disappointed. Usual random clocks action, this was short and funny, with some madcap sounds and crazy animation. Made me laugh, which is good enough to get a six from me.

[My car is an automobile!!]

Random insanity. And it sucks.

A collection of poorly drawn stick figures and shapes that took about two seconds to make, a couple of imported .gif's and some random sound clips to go with it. It's crazy, it's mental, it's totally irrelevant to anything and it's crap. How the hell this is 500K I don't know. If you're stoned, you might enjoy this. The rest of us will vote low and move on.

[Elmo]

Funny stuff

Guess that baby didn't like Elmo's song very much... was cool, short, high violence to time ratio and generally funny and comical. Dunno what the hell that chicken was doing at the end, but it's all good. Quick animation, and it rocks.

[light ball]

Screensaver put into flash. Why?

It's a decent enough animation, but it's the sort of thing that a screensaver looks like, not a flash animation. This wasn't entertaining and got boring so quickly it's untrue. Don't know what to say - if you like random simple animation you'll like this. The rest of us won't.

[mad fight]

Stick movie with some original moves

Heh, that's the first time I've seen the Walls of Jericho and a piledriver used in a stick fight, and My Way seemed like a good track to use. It's a shame the stick fight flash skills were below average, and given the amount of average stick fights there are here puts this near the back of a long queue.

[The Road]

Dull, needs worked

I'm quite surprised this wasn't blammed to be honest, but you've got decent animating skills - the backdrop was nice and the man walking looked realistic enough. But that's all there was - there was no story, no sounds, violence, no nothing. It's just one big animation loop, good as it is. Build on this and make a movie with substance next time.

[Resurgence]

Cool Clockday animation

Enjoyable short, nice idea and concept, and it was funny. Not too short or too long, it just worked nicely. Maybe could have used a little more animation, but what there was was smooth and looked good. Nice work!

[Skateboard'n Advanced]

Short and boring

The skater does (slowly) a nosegrind then a flip thing grabbing onto something above the ramp. Then celebrates, gets hit by another skater who then shoots himself. It's dull, short, boring and not very imaginative.

[That guy can break?]

Short, repetitive breakdancing stuff

The animation was OK, and the House of Pain sound clip looked alright. In essence, however, you simply did a very short animation and looped it forever. It didn't look too bad but after ten seconds we'd seen it about five times and we're done with it.
