[Clive the Frog #1]

Good

Good job, I really like the animation; it was smooth and original. The sound was also crisp.

One thing that bothered me, is the cartoon leads up to what Clive has to say about frogs; "The interesting thing about frogs is.." before he is interrupted by the fly. The thing that bothers me is once the gag-joke is over with the fly, the cartoon ends. The premise of the cartoon leads the audience in a direction which is then completely abandoned for the gag, never to be finished.

Other than that, great job!

[GAME BOYZ]

Sweet

I liked this alot. It was funny, and random, and the setup of the store and characters reminded me alot of Kevin Smith's "Clerks." The graphics were quite good, and the use of color vs. non-color was also interesting. The style was also nice, except that at points it moved a little too quickly; it switched to a whole new topic/point/joke/scenerio before the prior one could be comprehended and understood completely.

The only thing i would work on is some of the voices, they could be fairly hard to understand at points.

I hope you make this into a series!

[The Godson]

A Nice Flick

This was a good movie, with a strong beginning story and plotline. You are quite talented with the drawings of the backgrounds, and assassination sequence; the animation was a bit ordinary, however. There was a fairly strong dialogue to move it through, with only a few mistakes (and some small spelling).

The one thing I wish was that you would have done was animate the assassination sequence, rather than a sequence of stills (though very well drawn). I think the "11 days earlier" title lent it for animation. Perhaps if you quickly flash the screen with white to signify a flashback sequence rather than a title screen to signify an action flashback, it would work better (I don't know if that makes sense how I explained it).

Anyway, I hope to see more, with some more action, but I think this was a very good start for a good series.

Recommended.

PS - You shouldn't tribute the Godfather trilogy, as any fan knows, there were only two Godfather movies. The third one should have never been made. :)

[PunchOut 2 Intro]

Good but...

First, let me say that I loved this flash, but I refuse to vote on it because I already voted on it about a month ago.

I really didn't see anything in this warranting a re-release. There was no major overhaul to graphics or sound and there was minimal change. A couple things were added, but that doesn't mean it should have been uploaded to the portal again.

Alright, so you didn't make top 50 on the first release like a couple of your reviews mentioned. You know what you do? You straddle up and work extra hard on the new Chapter Two and release an all-new, never-before-seen episode.

A few people said my first ever flash should go to the top 50, and I look back at it and laugh in disgust at how bad it was. It made an 3.83 it's opening week and was put on the front page, but never won an award, or status and is now lost in the portal ranked #745. So, what did I do? I worked on my skills and a new chapter that puts the first one to shame. I'm not gonna add a joke or two to the first one and re-release it.

Anyway, didn't mean to sound harsh. I love the series and am eagerly awaiting Chapter Two.

um buddy, i think ur lying because the original release was only 2 weeks ago, but i think what ur talkig about was the trailer...so no further comments because u have no idea what ur talking about

[Kindergarden]

you mean Kindergarten, with a T?

Very Nice. Nice dialogue, the cutting of the dialogue sometimes popped, but it was still very good. The conversations reminded me a little bit of Peanuts with the dialogue.

I had to mention this though: I do hope you know that it's spelled KINDERGARTEN, with a "T" not kindegarden. I just assumed you did it on purpose.

Watch "Catch Me If You Can" much?

Well, this was a fairly orginal idea, executed smoothly, with okay graphics (silhouettes aren't hard to animate), but no original style. If it wasn't for the fact that I enjoy the style of the opening credits to "Catch Me If You Can" a lot, I would have given this a lower score. However, truth be told, I enjoy the style very much, and your movie as well, albeit a carbon-copy rip off.

I would watch more movies like this.

Recommended.

[Bebop In the Public's Eye]

Crisp and Clean

Very nice style and animation, but the joke was too east to derive after the first couple seconds of interaction between the two [trying to not give anything away].

I'm checking out your other cartoons now to see if a good plot is being developed with these characters. Good Job.

Very Funny

Still funny. A Hat was better, but this was superb in and of itself.

Great voice acting, adds to the characters very much.
