[Ragtime with a Vengeance]

dear Kku

Just the thought of having a sequel to the nonsensical and unwarranted silly cartoon Krinkels made is just astounding, even yet you gave the characters more...Character. Well done! I saw some issues though with the animation as well as situations where the character should've die but didn't. (not that I want to but it kinda doesn't make any sense) Cheers!

[Swelter]

Dear JacobStreilein

I remember I was watching this after watching an Aftermath show on National Geographic. Very convenient. It was also relatively talking about If the SUN expanded and increased in size getting nearly close to the Earth diminishing our natural resources. This is like an animation in tribute to that convenience. Well done!

[With My Mind's Madness]

Dear MindChamber

Well honestly I gotta say this is well done! The frame by frame animation, the rocking music, the action, the madness. It all just blends well together. It also leaves a pretty cool message to the persona of Jebus/Jesus in his fight for redemption and salvation in a world of madness.

[The Walking Dads]

dear spacekingMASH

What? No really what? I am familiar with telltale's the walking dead but this doesn't make sense at all.
Is this a joke on how (spoilers) duck was bitten by a walker because of Kenny but clementine wasn't all throughout season 1 because of Lee? Anyways animation could do some more work. It lacks appeal like colors (if necessary) and background music and a longer skit. This is just confusing too by the way. I really don't get what you're going for here. Especially from reading your author's comments I'd assume its about Kenny's foolishness in the game but...This is not what I expected...And its in a bad way. Sorry but I don't get the joke. Yeah bohoo me. But I'd also surmise other people wont get it too. Anyways your animation was good and the voices were not that bad. It was really good actually.

[The Grey men]

dear animationaddict

Okay first of all...The sounds. Some of the choices of the music here is horrible. Especially with the "Let's Fight" scene. Also with the talking Alien black robe figure. The sounds are just amplified to egregious levels it hurts my ears. But anyways back to the animation at hand. Well you did a good job on the animation, but the story is literally confusing. All I could understand from this is well from your Author's comments. The animation itself didn't explain it further yet give a solid point. All I see here is people go to some kind of cult church, then get into an abrupt fight for no reason, then one guy gets punched and it ends there. I...I really don't know what you're going for here. At first I was expecting some gritty, hallucinating, and creepy skit but this just looks incomplete to be honest.

I see from your submission list that audio is your thing so I appreciate your critic of my folly work. Im glad you were able to discern the identity of the Grey Men being aliens, I think the voice might have helped you with that.
As for being incomplete, have you ever watched the Aeon Flux shorts created before the show was made? I try to build shorts that give a glimpse into a world with a unique mythos. But leaving them open allows me to come back to it if it calls for it. You seemed to have gotten most of the main points although there is another idea at play regarding 2D vs. 3D. I would suggest considering your lengthy review maybe watching it again and think about these ideas.
Also I'll be featuring the work in some film festivals this year, Do you have some audio you would rather see in the "lets fight" scene. Let me know
Thanks for watching

[FRISK FORMALLY APOLOGIZES FOR THE NO MERCY RUN]

dear ananasz

Woah...Yeah similar with the guy below me and due to the fact of the oversaturation of bieber. I was expecting some kind of half assed parody associated with it. But wow I'm impressed. Although I'm not really into this undertale fad, I can say for certain that this is well made and really explains the title pretty well. What's with the ending though? it just looping glitches. Also don't denounce your submission in the author's comments. If you say its trash it would decrease people's expectation with the....OHHHH I get what you're implying.

[Youtube Intro]

Dear TheFlamingTiger

Ummm...I'm sorry but I don't think you should post this here. Also I'm a youtuber myself and I think this should probably be better off uploaded on your youtube channel instead. Anyways looking at the animation of your intro...Nice work with the frame by frame hand drawn animation however it lacks color, and well music as most intro's are associated with uplifting music and stuff. Furthermore it needs a few more details since the tiger doesn't even have...well color and its stripes (if necessary)
Anyways kudos to the animation, but its short and it does not have much content to be accepted into the portal since its an intro.

[Fantastic Plastic]

Dear LevPo and RobLovelett

I applaud you. You managed to make me enthralled and be surprisingly engrossed into watching this short film and have me simply attached to the characters depicted in here. The animation, voice acting and sound design are well implemented and well choreographed. Well done. The story is pretty unique and intriguing. I like the cartoonish vibe it gives you. There are some good cringeworthy moments too and you know what I mean. At first I was expecting this turning into a different knob becoming into a surreal cannibalistic spree (considering the blood and the dark comedy)
But hell its good that they had a happy ending. Although there are some questionable scenes that I'd like to indicate particularly the before and end screens of each character. Some are left with a nebulous explanation. Like the girl who became the new popstar, the man turning into a pig, then into a pig/dog hybrid, the man with the suit and hotdog having a sex change, But anyways sorry to be nitpicky, eitherway this didn't really bother me with the animation overall. Well done. Cheers!

[Uncle Gwandpa]

Dear Ex-Poser

This is really well done. Humor is actually spot on and captures the gullibility and stupidity of the show itself but into exaggerating levels which makes it all the more funny. Pizza steve on the other hand lost his complexion and begins to question his relationships with the two. Which is what I would do if I was him. But it would've fit if it was Gus since he is usually the one who questions everything the group does in the show. In the back of my head I was expecting a pedophilia joke. It would've really fit here due to the fact that Uncle Grandpa suddenly interrupts and unwarrantedly involves himself into every random child nearby coping with their struggles in life. Anyways I love how you depict facial animations like the last review I did before. You have a knack in doing, that well done. The ending though, Although it had me genuinely surprised it was also satisfying. To be frank I really have a slight Antipathy against Uncle Grandpa and his show. Its just so blatantly weird not quaint. The humor in it is just random and unsuiting. Well...That was a review...I didn't know I wrote this myself but anyways good job and cheers!

Ex-Poser responds:

Thanks for another lengthy review etriuswimbleton, I appreciate the praise regarding my style while also expressing things I can work on. I guess when referring to Mr Gus being the serious one, I tried shifting the character spotlight over to pizza Steve mainly because I don't necessarily like Mr Gus. It's not that I despise of him, it's just I think it'd be funnier if pizza Steve, the one who is usually the "cool" one, to just flip out and go crazy. This way I can target Mr Gus, the one who mildly does what pizza Steve does in this animation.

Relating to the paedophile reference, it's just, perverted humour towards kids, even in animations just isn't really my taste. And even if I felt comfortable with that alternative, the reason why I started creating the animation was purely to target what the show is like, to me, in an exaggerated view. And because the vocals were all improvised in a short period of time, the story doesn't really go anyway other than with uncle grandpa and his silly shenanigans. If I had to do it again I probably would introduce more of the shows characters in a more professional, laid out manner, but for the sake of time and dry pan comedy, this is the end result. Thanks for the positivity with my facial drawings, it takes a long time to get that all drawn up and coloured. Again, thanks for the review.

Dear KoRRupt

Well that was gruesomely and slightly funny. Good job. Animation was simple but wasn't bothered by it. The sounds though were really in there. Nice work with the sounds. Considering it was from Postal 2 I guess this was a tribute of some sorts. But anyways well done. Didn't know he would outright do that. The stick even survived a gunshot from the head. Heh, At least you told us it was gonna be an advert. But still its an advert. I respect animations doing that though and it doesn't really seem to be blatant advertising so you don't have to worry. My verdict...Well it was short and really didn't leave much of an impactful message at the end...Well for me that is.
