[Space Nazis In Space]

In Space!

This was interesting to watch because it opened up in such an awesome way. I would have preferred the animation continue to be like that, but that was the joke. Some of the animation in the presentation wasn't too bad. The spaceships seem well designed. I think it might be the first space attack cartoon I've ever seen that had Barrack Obama in it. My, RibsClock looks so delicious. The dialogue was too incomprehensible to understand.

I knew from the outside of the White House the art was going to shift. You have done this flash flood good with something well animated (at least in the beginning). You can never have Nazis from space and make that not cool. I love the demonic "Doom" Hitler at the end. It was great to see such high animation in the lava or whatever that red stuff was.

CorpseGrinderClock responds:

Yeah I'll admit part of the reason for the silly ending was time constraints but I frankly prefer it this way

I think I did pretty well for, what, three days?

[Doody The Clown]

Too much poopoo

I should have expected this with a cartoon called "Doody the Clown". For something that was so scatological, I am actually surprised it wasn't really that dirty. I was expecting something more mean-spirited, but it was kind of nice. I still wouldn't recommend this, because it has other flaws. It just seems like it flows too slowly (okay, that created an unpleasant image in my head). The voicework was pretty funny in a silly way.

I was confused as to why he was eating so much, but of course he had to poop more. The characters look really stupid, but in a pretty funny way. It seemed like it went on a bit too long and could have done without the pauses. Never knew you could make a rose like that. Well, I guess I can give you credit for making something original!

[Wonders: Milky Ways]

Entry deleted!

You know, it kind of makes you wonder where the milk came from. I guess it can't be a person because that is technically an animal. Anyway, this was great to see such fantastic animation, especially by LegendaryFrog. The artwork is done in a very clear manner with nice lines and everything. While this wasn't that long, it's amazing so many people managed to work on it. The funniest part was probably at the beginning.

It is interesting to see this series take off and it looks like it's gonna be great! I guess Omahdon didn't actually animate this. It would be great to work at least as a writer in a flash cartoon. Congradulations on your Daily Feature and the wonderful response you have been getting. It kind of made me sad that it was so short.

[intro test]

A big nono

While the animation isn't half bad for this, the main fault is that it's a test. Those kinds of things are not popular on this website. At least make a button so that we can replay the thing. It's hard to describe this submission because there isn't a lot that happens. I actually do think that you have some talent in terms of art because this drawing itself isn't that bad. The best part was probably the way the blood comes off her fingers.

Still, that seems more like the kind of thing you would want in an art submission. I don't see why it would not say "Presents". It makes sense to me. The audio isn't that bad, but the problem is that it is simply too short in order for it to be a decent submission in its own right. An interesting story would do a lot of good for this.

well.. sorry that i've put a test because i'm still learning.....the thing of presents is that , at first, it was written «evil never looked so good» (which is my motto for most of the stories not yet published)

here's the original thing i've did http://evilblackcat13.deviantart.com/

[The Menstrual Avenger]

What good menstruating

This was pretty good in that everything seemed to be depicted in a clear cut manner. There wasn't a lot of focus on a story, it just went right to the action. I can only assume those are tampons the Avenger is hitting the guy with. While an early work, it still has decent animation, particularly with how the characters move. The funniest part was easily when the second guy was hit by period blood. I should have expected that coming.

From the author comments, it kind of made it sound like you were using this as a trailer. The music was fairly good, but could have been a bit more stylistic. Who says that gingers don't have souls? It was a pretty fun, short little thing and I didn't even notice you used the Batman/X-Men themes for this. The voices were also straightforward.

[The $20,000 Zig]

Very funny

The best thing about this was how good the animation was. I am amazed that this was made as far back as 2001 as it still holds up to today. You really worked hard to make sure that everyone appears in character. That seems to be just the way Papa Smurf would react to this. It's interesting to see a submission that didn't have a song in it. There's just so much going on in this cartoon like how his pencil just flies around.

I guess I'm not the only one who remembers Balki from "Perfect Strangers". Everything was quite random and non-sequitor in this, just like it should be. It must be pretty easy to understand Smurf when you get to it. This is probably the most animated I have ever seen of the cast of the "All Your Base" meme. May it always be remembered.

[[Mexican Nyan Cat]]

Those Mexicans

I have to admit, I was hoping the music would be better. I can't say I hate this because it does most of what it's supposed to do. It's hard to say whether I would recommend this because nothing happens as Mexican Nyan Cat just flies everywhere. I mean, it's very faithful to the character, just not that entertaining. What matters is that he's still a really cool cat and it's great to see him with a taco for a body. What's he going to be next, DoughnutCat?

Yes, you do need to work on more detail, but this is still pretty good for what it is. Most fans of Nyan Cat shouldn't hate it, as I am one myself. The most detailed thing is probably the Sun. I like how it just seems to fade in and out which I'm guessing is supposed to be by clouds. A cat with a mustache is funny too.

[Chance and Ineptitude]

What a great story

I am so glad that you decided to make another submission. While you could still work with animation, this is just great to look at. The best part is that you manage the main character quite sympathetic, especially for a vampire. I recall the previous submission and realize this is in the same story. The music is fantastic as it gives a feel of elegance and darkness. This main character has the reasons for what she does.

It seems like it would be impossible to justify the atrocities that a vampire does. You feel sorry not just for the child but for her as well when the child's neck snaps. It just goes to show how much story you can put in with non-moving pictures. I noticed that "Scene Select" doesn't seem to do anything. You probably shouldn't use the Halloween logo when it's not Halloween.

[This is TETRIS!]

Sparta?

Ah yes, I really should have seen King Leonadias (or however his name is spelled) emerge from this sooner or later. He was easily the coolest thing in this cartoon. At first I thought it was going to be a more generic Tetris parody. That still didn't make it something I would recommend, though. For one, it's a loop, which I guess isn't your fault considering the problems some people have to work through. It was weird how the same scene happened twice.

At least the Tetris graphics were fairly decent in their own right. Of course, I imagine it would not be that difficult. Next time, I suggest that you make the action move faster, especially with the king. You could also work on a more original song. It makes you realize why Tetris is so popular in how simple its design is.

Yo I made this on Windows movie maker and ms paint that's why it sucks.
