[My Little Ponies-Cupcakes]

It is magic

I am so glad I managed to see a tribute to the latest "My Little Pony" series! I kept hearing such good things about it and tons of pictures of stuff but never did I actually find an NG or other parody of it. I love this because it has amazingly authentic animation. The coolest thing was how adorable everyone was. I admit that I was afraid the joke was going to turn into something...a little more dirty. While it was like something I had expected, it was still really funny to watch.

I am not in any way familiar with the characters in this series. I think I had one toy when I was a kid, but then again, I am a boy after all. I especially like the expressions in their eyes (both of them). Even the preview icon is adorable with her chomping on the precious little cupcakes. I hope you had some fun making this.

Starting from scratch isn't the fun part but once I had it all drawn out it was enjoyable passing the 1st frame finally. Glad you enjoyed it!

[CSI: Minecraft]

Not creepy

I was confused by the title in this because it did not seem to be a parody of CSI at all. Boy, CSI and Minecraft has got to be one of the strangest crossovers I have ever heard of! It was really cool to see this style of animation. I do not think it is new, but it looks amazing, particularly with how the characters just move about. They manage to show emotion in the silly appearances they have. This is a cartoon where you have absolutely no idea what is going to happen next.

I am not familiar with Minecraft, but I do know of the creeper creatures you are talking about. It was also cool to show the screen at the end with the choices. It seemed like this was going to be a game at first. The voices are also nice and authentic. While short, what truly matters is that you manage to make a really good joke out of it.

Falconer02 responds:

Thanks a lot for the plump review! I'm glad you liked it. And try out MC some day if you like sandbox games. Totally worth it.

[VALV - S2 - Ep.01]

Great new thing

This is great to watch because as a new series, it has tons of potential. The most awesome thing is that the animation is simply fantastic. You make sure that every part of the cartoon has the utmost detail put into it, especially with how the effects still remain in the picture. I was thinking he was going to bring back his friend. I suppose this is going to be one of those shows that has no continuity. All of the voices (although I can not understand them) are very well done as well.

Everyone in this just has so much emotion in their dialogue and action. I imagine it would be fairly painful to have a magic lamp come out of the crapper. It is a very unexpected sort of thing and the series has no single theme. I wish I could wish (?) to sleep better, get a girlfriend, and good grades. Even the backgrounds have great detail!

Darkar responds:

I really... REALLY enjoy your reviews! Thanks! :D

[Space Space Shooter]

Weird

This is one of those submissions where I simply have no idea what is going on. It seems like a lot of people are forcing themselves to play this game which is bad. But by playing the game, you get to beat the main boss and end the game? Whatever it was, it was certainly awesome as there was a ton of detail put into everything. It amazes how far you can go before you go on full CGI. It is animation like this that makes me envision the future of animation.

I wish this would have been an actual game to play! What still shines through is how awesome the action is and the spectacular designs of the characters. Characters nothing, the designs of everything is completely flawless! Not the catchiest of songs, but still very impressive to watch. Keep making great cartoons like these!

[The Northern Incident]

Quite scary

Dang it! I made the huge mistake of going onto the forums before I watched the day's cartoons and I had the endings spoiled for me!! Oh well, at least I managed to get a great sense of terror out of this truly terrifying and amazingly made flash cartoon! The best part is how everything is built up so far that you have no idea what is going to happen next. I am not going to spoil the ending, but it makes you wonder why they were up in the North in the first place. Who was driving his car away?

The true terror is that we as the audience will never know what happened. I did not know the dog was going to die. In fact, I would think the uh, people at the end would have accepted him into their society or something like that. I thought it was great how some parts were silent, oh wait, that was something wrong with my speaker. This is something that would have made a great Creepypasta, especially given its length. Impressive how you got Simon McClure and Yotam Perel to help you on this!

[2011 | Squirrel Antics]

Too long!

It's been awhile since I have seen a new submission from you. It just goes to show that you never lose your idea of being good at something. Did this really take you an entire year to do? Anyway, this was great because it was a great homage to classic Looney Tunes cartoons and other cartoon slapstick. The animation is really good and for being a goofy cartoon, all of the elements have quite a bit of depth to them. I admit that I was not expecting that ending.

There were a lot of things going on, like the seagulls flying. The best part of animation was probably when the rocket hit the moon in the beginning. While not very long, it is always nice to put in scene selection in. Even the music was a great tribute to classic slapstick! Congradulations on making something great after being gone from submitting stuff.

Dwarfer-Stu responds:

No no this didnt take me an entire year to do. I did most of the animation a year ago, then stopped, and came back to it a couple of days ago to finish it. I know, I'm being lazy :/

[^HOrSe]

Can't hate it

While the size of the screen, I can not help but recommend that you not make it an infinite loop. Of course, when you did, it kind of reminded me of the stuff by Weebl. In fact, this whole thing about a horse seems like something Weebl would make. If you do intend to turn this into a full-fledged series, I think it has potential. The sounds and backgrounds are fairly good. It kind of feels spammy, but it was really enjoyable with how silly it was.

This seem to be pretty good in spirit, but it did need to have more going on. The funniest part was probably the dancing cow. As Gary Larson of "The Far Side" has taught us, cows are always funny. It is hard to take seriously, although it is probably supposed to be comedic. I was a little confused at how this was supposed to be informative.

[ZombieMurderExplosionDie]

Oh yeah, caffeine pill

I was just thinking about how I was always a fan of zombie things (any kind) and this looks like it will fit the bill perfectly! The best part was easily when he was taking out all the zombies. I do, however, think this does not seem to have as good animation as some other stuff you have done. Nonetheless, if it's Zeurel and zombies, it is practically impossible not to like. It's nice to see some people I have not heard of before working with you. The title is so ridiculous it just perfectly fits the theme.

I imagine a serial killer would come in pretty handy. We are going to need as few people who hesitate to kill on sight as much as possible. I loved the reference to "Saved By The Bell" on the TV. It was also great to see the unique designs that were put into every single zombie design. I look forward to seeing ZMED completed!

[Blogsies 01]

I am sexy!

Wow, this was something that was really a new experiment, even for you. I know nothing about how to speak Hebrew, but it was still cool to watch and it had subtitles. The best thing was how these are all real. It is always interesting to find out what people are feeling deep down in their hearts and minds. I guess it might be an invasion of privacy but people choose to create blogs like that. It seems like Israel is a country that you hear about all the time but you know little about it.

I imagine it would be something like this, as it seems like standard human nature. Everyone has their own goals about how they relate to other countries. In fact, that is somewhat what I am doing right now by writing this! I hope those people find love and ambition wherever their dreams take them. Are you going to make this into a series?

[Alligator Insult]

Where to start?

This is one of those cartoons where it is extremely difficult to hate or love it. On one hand, it has really good animation that quite literally moves very fluidly. Then again, it has no sound and no plot. It seems to be in my best interests to put it strictly in the middle, where I believe it belongs. Next time, you should probably work on having more elaborate stuff going on, but it is still not terrible. The best thing is the animation.

It seems like I have heard a phrase like this before. It almost seems like some childhood memory that was somehow forgotten. It is kind of like that one song where the monkeys are talking to the alligator about how he can't catch them. Wherever it is from, it still seems random to make a cartoon like this. I couldn't think of a good alligator insult.

DuckingForTruth responds:

I do appreciate the time you took to comment on this, and I do agree with the points that were made. Future projects that i submit will be "finished" and stuff. Again thank you for the clear feedback. :)
