[Animating General]

That was strange

The best thing about this was probably the opening animation. In fact, I assumed the whole thing was going to be like that. It's just that when I hear the phrase "Animating General" I was thinking it would be general animation. It would be like a demo reel in that sense. What's cool is that the animation all around was still fantastic, even if it didn't match my expectations. The best part after that was probably at the end when he asked if she wanted sex.

What also struck me as funny was how nothing made sense. I don't know why these ghosts are randomly appearing, but it's pretty cool. I know I've said this before, but Merry Christmas, friend! It's always great to look at all of the new things my favorite animators have been working on and stuff. It's just a feel good cartoon with flawless artwork.

[Villainy - The New Toys]

How disturbing

Congradulations on getting the Daily Feature for Christmas this year! I am having a great time with my grandparents and am so glad to be reviewing stuff like this. I think the funniest part was the ridiculous voice. You just got such a great sense of hilarity with how ridiculous this grandma was. I seem to be getting deja vu, because I've sworn I've seen something like this before. Oh, and of course, have a very Merry Christmas today if you haven't already.

The animation is as great as ever. I'm not the biggest fan of the "Villiany" series, but you're still one of my favorite artists. I liked the Filipino boy who appeared at the end. I suppose with a grandmother like that, it's no wonder this kid became messed up. It's great to see all of the work that you have completed over the past year, all popular.

[Santa Travel]

Same to you

Ah, I've been reviewing a lot of stuff, but not something Christmas related! The movie I even saw today, "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" didn't even have that much to do with Christmas. You perfectly capture the holiday season with this deranged animation. It's so great to be reviewing here on Christmas. I loved this because it was macabre and deranged and everything that makes your work so good. Tis the holiday season for everybody!

I think my favorite part was when it switched to the dancing baby. It was just so random it was drop dead hilarious. I love how wonderfully the animation moves around and in such an insane way. You will never lose your touch with insanity here. I loved how nothing in this made any sense, but it was so wonderfully done it didn't matter.

[Robots are Stupid]

Very entertaining

It's great how this robot consistently keeps that monotone voice. I suppose if you talked like that, you probably would think you didn't have feelings. I thought the animation in this really wasn't that bad. I mean, it looks a heck of a lot better than the artwork shown on the main menu. It was also cool how you showed little captions when people talked. It's kind of like you were riffing on an already funny cartoon!

It reminds me of that "Futurama" episode where Bender says that robots have no emotions, which makes him sad. It is a problem you can run into. This seemed to be a different kind of flash for you, but it really worked out well. I just love the robot's design. It's about time the voice for the Clock Crew was used for robots.

[All Your Face]

A decent work

Wow, I think this was one of the last "All Your Base" parodies ever made. It really shows you how much this has died over time. It was great to see all those different pictures. The main flaw is that the music wasn't anywhere near as catchy as the ones used in the AYB cartoons. The most disturbing part was easily when the picture showed that was the actual rape. I also thought the voice acting sounded a bit off in this.

It's still nice to look back to see what you guys have accomplished. All of the designs of the pictures are pretty good and original. It's the kind of flash where you don't know where it's going. The music could probably use some more work. At least you seem to want to latch onto a meme that will always hold a place in our hearts.

[Work Buddies]

Too bad

There is a rule of thumb for this website and that is not to use "Go Animate". See Happy Harry's cartoon for better explanation of this. I have never seen a single cartoon used in this way that got a good award or even front page. The voices just seemed so off in this. It was just the same boring talk featuring dirty jokes over and over. It may in fact be the most poor animation I have ever seen. John Kricfalusi would hunt down and kill whoever's responsible for this.

The only mildly entertaing part was the nuts joke. It's just that so many people are used to genuine voices and movement in animation. Even lower quality stuff has that. Please try to use regular Flash Player because I really don't think this can ever work on this website. It's nice for a start, but try to be a lot more original.

[Not that kind of elf]

Nice and weird

I thought that character was supposed to be Link, but I guess it wasn't technically him. This probably could have been better if it was longer. I still enjoyed this, particularly with how good the animation was. I was seriously not expecting that ending. I kind of assumed the other elf would die, but this was too comedic to show it. Another cool thing is how you consistently keep up the fine animation. The Hyrule elf contrasts with well the Santa elf.

Congradulations on making this the preview image for the Christmas 2011 collection! May we all have a merry Christmas! The voices seemed really spot on, especially how they moved with the facial expressions. It's just nice to see people making silly stuff. I seem familiar with your art style, despite the fact that this is my first impression of it.

Thanks for the review!
The fantasy elf is less Hyrulian and more Lord of the Rings, Legolas. I used to draw caricatures of the characters from LOTR and thats usually what Legolas would end up looking like. The way he looks here is a caricature of the caricature. MIND BLOWN!

[COMET]

Fantastic!

Dude, this is one of the most awesome Christmas flashes I have ever seen! It kind of reminded me of that great movie "Arthur Christmas". What also struck me as cool was how it really appealed to your sense of wonder. I'm guessing the whole thing was a dream, but it doesn't take away how awesome it was. This is stuff that reminds you of what it was like to be a kid. We all had glowing ambitions about what was waiting for us on Christmas.

The music was fantastic, some of the best I've ever heard. The animation was wonderfully bright and colorful. I just think it's great how you look into the inner child of us all and make us relive the fantasies we had as a kid. The lights are done perfectly and this is how you create a sense of being in a glorious world. I'm not sure how this got into the Christmas collection so soon, but it definitley deserves it!
