[A Monkey Island Feast!]

Should have been better

I was hoping for more, the script was generally fine, but the words hanged about for far to long (maybe I'm just a fast reader) and there were not enough monkey island jokes in, you didn't even MENTION a 3 headed monkey, big mistake, everyone knows when you make a monkey island spoof, you include a 3 headed monkey joke.
But as you never intended this to be a stand-alone movie........

[Village Raiders]

Powerful and Disturbing

Wow. Its sums it up nicely I think, that one word, wow.
It wasn't the animation, which was good, resembling in places the large art work battle scenes used for Warhammer, but nothing special. It wasn't the sound, with the lack of battle sound effects being over complex (very understandable, difficult to do well) that music, it was perfect, very sombre.
It wasn't the story, a basic village raid (well for me its basic).
Instead, it was the perspective, the use of the doll, and the thought provoking ending, this movie actually made me sad, I just didn't expect or want the little girls fate to be true, thats some powerful story telling.
The fact you didn't turn this into some sort of "then she grows up and becomes Xena:Warrior Princess" story is good enough.
Let me just say it one more time.
Wow.

[-The Pan-]

Great

Excellent stick movie, reminds me of "the course", just don't take the plot route, stick to making fun little pieces like this, more traps, more unique deaths, more slapstick comedy.
Oh, and prime choice of music.

[Lords of Battle]

Nice One

I had a destinct sensation of Conan the Barbarian during this, and that sword, without reading that screenplay (I just CANNOT be bothered to read all of that!) I'm guessing is a nanotech sword, very similar to Deus Ex eh?
I do have to say that I liked the overall idea despite being so obviously corny, the silhoutted figure against the mushroom cloud was undoubtedly the coolest part, that deep rumble was a perfect effect.

[99K]

Fantastic

Puts whooping 5 mb files to shame and rightly so. I'm not sure why so many people demand a sprawling plot, its a great piece of animation comedy in the short classic style much like early mickey mouse cartoons like steamboat willy, they have no plot, its purely just "fun", a word I think most people need to reaquire when analysing flash movies.

The animation is very smooth, the stroyboard witty and humorous and for under 100K I think your outstanding among your peers, you should have placed a bet among the NG users that you could have made a decent one under 100K, you would been getting free drinks for weeks....

[Arrogancy: Episode One]

Playing with the big boys

Trying to get it mainstream eh? Easier said than done, but I can very easily see this as a top manga like Neon Genisis Evangelion. Just a shame you had to bring everyone up to date with the prologue and so make the whole piece BORING AS HELL. But your animating skills are second to none, top job.

[Retarded Animal Babies 4]

NOT FUCKING HAPPY TREE FRIENDS!!!!!!

Superb, innovative and bright with a huge smear of toilet humour. The series keeps getting better and better, probably because it doesn't have to rely on a plot and its merly good, unclean fun.

Oh, and to the previous reviewer, milkboy120, take your outwar crap, and stick it up your ass, really. The game is so pathetic its unbelievable.

[A "Ball" Movie]

Suprisingly good

Wacky and funny, the art style was very orginal and the jokes well thought out and just hilarious. Like "Good thing I got out of the way" and "Alright I'm taking a sandblaster to your genitals".
Its irreguler and strange, but also refreshingly not restrained by any chessy plots involving revenge. very good
