[Why I Don't Play Minecraft]

...

I am still not sure why you don't play minecraft. Random disasters in minecraft? The way people might ( I don't know if they do) overreact over minecraft? You suffer as too much over minecraft? Am I missing something?

Overally, the art was good and simple. Face melting ideas, facial expressions and fire starting jokes aside (nice), the animation was also good.

Audio, not so great, please work with high DB audio so it does not loose quality when it loud, if you aimed to use lots of loud music and sounds, please make it consistent (had to play 3 times to hear who's the new president), this happens when people lower volume after hearing loud lower quality sounds.

Many good ideas for disasters, although some of them were predictable (plane clashing on a new hope love is a classic :)). BUT again, you failed to explain why you don't play minecraf anymore.

P.S.
I never played minecraft.

heyopc responds:

Thanks for the review, I appreciate it! I think I should clear up the joke here though - I don't play Minecraft because the world would end. I don't have anything against game--I don't dislike it. The joke is that everyone's expecting an actual reason for why I don't play Minecraft, but there isn't one. The fact that nobody gets what's happening is the joke. I'll probably clear this up more publicly later, but I liked this comment and felt I might as well explain things if I'm going to reply.

[Robot Boy Show - 1-15-16]

I know this is a dump niche cartoon but...

This is still a review. The level that this movie presents is offensively bad. with tawdry pasted in graphics, unamusing "flickering animation for eyes"mixed with bad sound.

Personal note:
To me this means that this is a stupid joke. I would understand if people around would be just tired, and today no one would post any good material showing anything artistic.

But why it must have got 1st place? Because a majority of voters on this moviedon't care, and they would vote 5 on anything that would refer to their cranky uninspired comments on the Portal, or just because someone asked them in the comments.

Would not write this review, because all movies should get a chance at a fair voting. Except for the fact that this got past 4 other GOOD submissions to the top 1, which only doubles frustration once you see the other 4 "wins of the day" deserved more.

Movies should get 1st win of the day based on Reviews, and only if they refer to the value of the movie as art+fun. This definately does not show any.

robot-jones responds:

i dont know how it got first place i guess new ground like me

[A Boy and His Dog]

Animation: solid 3.5/5
Warm colours, nice touch of the details (moving environment items and such). Pretty much would give 4/5 if the animation would be longer to see more.

Sound 3/5.
Its clear, not "over the loud" level, contrastive in places where it should be. But its used from something else.

Script 3/5
As for the "idea worth", I hope you meant in this film that "too many people are lately behaving like spoiled little shits, totally forgetting about their best friends and disregarding other lives", and not what soupflavoredsoup has written.
Maybe to make sure no one mispresents your art, add a bit more Author Comments than just scoring who's materials was used.

Bassetfilms responds:

Thanks for the in depth review.
Honestly I was not trying to make a point with this cartoon, though I'm glad it came across as one I agree with, it was not my intention.

And in regards to the sound, I'm really not able to make my own sound effects, though next time I will try to edit them more, so they sound less "stock".
And for music, I'm gonna try to write more for my cartoons from now on.
Thanks again.

[Every Dad Does This]

No, no dad I know does this. Must be America thing, no one does it here not even in euphemistic sense.

But title aside, funny movie :)

Ricanfly responds:

Thanks for watching :)

[Newgrounds vs Deviantart]

I feel a shitstorm comming, the grand brawl of the niche artists: Newgrounds vs. DeviantArt!

...

Why it never ever have been announced before o_0?

======================

Lazy graphics (3/5)
Smooth simple animation (3/5)
Scenography and script (4/5)
AfterImpact (3/5)
Waiting if this will actually start a war vs two portals (10/5)

IceBurger responds:

I have no idea what will happen next.
Let the excitement begin!

Thanks for the review!

[Oven-Baked Flat Bread]

Nice progress on the facial expressions, and they move their head around while talking like crazy (is that natural for a gerbil or am I picky?). Anyway, simple, funny.

Worth a 4 in comparison to other works, but 5 in the perspective of "short animations".

Also, it made me hungry, so pluses on impacting me (although I'm on a Daniel's Diet)...

WaldFlieger responds:

Hey, thanks a lot! :D

[Feeding the Whole Neighbo]

... really?

Never happpened. Ever. And I live in Poland, the country that people think is really really poor, raised in family that had little money. Never seen anyone been so "unwelcomming" as this.

Guess you Americans are just tight-ass like hell, at least not as friendly as my people :)

brewstew responds:

You're absolutely correct.

[Last Christmas]

Walking through a mall during christmas boom will never be the same again :D

Good animation, quick to the point end, and in my opinion, a good kick for the everyear jingle.

Worth watching, lower "M" to "T", a little cartoonish heart with no blood is not that bad.

Jumpkut responds:

Thanks! Good point :) Wasn't sure which rating parameters controlled the overall rating when I set it.

[FORK]

Graphics pixelated, though not sprites ( I guess that's a bad resolution conversion problem). Slow motion animation with big frame skipping did not make up for that neither.

Maybe it was a bit cartoony, but still, eye wound looked really unrealistic, alon with the waterfall of blood.

Also, the joke is so low it missed the laughing spot on the way to hell.

Two stars for the overall. Seriously, exercise your jokes, internet is already full of ick things... and I'm afraid even they are better than this.

AmateurCreator responds:

Yea pixelation was unintentional, just blame that on the crappy programs I use. The video wasn't meant to astound anyone but hopefully people can accept it for what it is. Anyway thanks for your feedback!

[Beaybox Battle]

Great animation, you can see alot of work put into it, from random background animations, through crazy exact lip sync, to focus on the the plans of the scenery. All this needs alot of work and planning, and were executed brilliantly.

The ideas of the beatbox battle places were also very dramatic and well though: wind blowing in hear, slow fog, moving sky clouds, it all counts as a good way to promote and make your material more dramatic, making the battle look more fierce.

As for audio, this "track", it sounds silly (not a fan of beatbox) but it is clear that it also needed alot of work to produce those sounds at this speed, you have to respect people if they can do something to that extend.

All in all, great animation. I understand the author wants to underline being creator of the series and don't mind reviewing his work, even if its an animation posted long long after its premierre in youTubs.

P.S. Could you write a statement explaining why you and bulgariananimations post some materials separately, even if you are (as far as I am aware) the creator of most of the work.

NedelchoBogdanov responds:

Hi, thanks for the comment! Bulgarian Animation are producers ho make with us two shows: The Show (there are autors) and Marmalade (I am the autor) ! Brain Damage and Balgar (which I will show you soon) are my independent productions!
