good stuff!

but....

please change the font at the begginning, its colorful but unnesasary, it makes it hard to read, and hurts the storyline...

also that ending text zips by so fast you cant read it...

other then that i really liked this, i liked the backgrounds and the characters and the fight sequence

MackProductions responds:

thanks! yes i'm working on fixing the text now.

sureal

i really liked the feel of this, the sort of static sky was very strange... the music sounds like a game i played a while ago, but i cant recall the name... it was finish for adventure, something like that...

i really liked the transition of colors, that really surprized me!

i understand why you kept things simple, the music calls for that.... still it feels as though something is missing... not sure what...

maybe lose the boy, that preference, why?

well are we looking up at the sky? or is the boy? or are we looking up at the sky with the boy?

i guess it keeps things personal, however if you lose the boy its the veiwer watching the sky and that surreal feeling, is that much more intense... but maybe its better with the boy....

i dunno... i still think something was lacking, thats why you get 8

i really liked this!

i got a really warm feeling of christmas from this, the jolly old man roaring cheery songs of yore, it got me right here...

i laughed with santa as he dangled the feet of a cherished christmas decoration...

i loved it....

heres my problem...

i'm not sure what you were going for? were you twisting the concept of christmas cheer? or were you once again asking the question, what does it all mean? is it all full of crap? is christmas the time for greed and lies?

heres my other problem, and this doesnt reflect badly on the cartoon... its just my problem..

i hope that this short sweet greetings card does not over-shine legitimatly sweet small ambitions

i still thought it was well done, and meant well, hope to see more!

chluaid responds:

I wasn't going for anything. There's no message or philosophical overalls or underpants.
It's just a Christmas ecard ;)

wait....what?

although the animation sucks, i can see that was quite deliberate.....or waaaas it?

was this an animation trying to stop people pirating? was it? if i was to assume that it was then your point seems confused... theres a good reason people pirate software.... because its 2000$!!!! and it should be like....60$

if its not this, then weeeeeeelllll done! i QUUUIIITE enjoyed this!

ima go pirate sumptin... family guy!

Starogre responds:

animation sucks on purpose cus i made it in hours not days

now THIS was GOOD!

i enjoyed the dialogue i REALLY liked the characters, the waitress was so true to life...

i liked the style, i honestly cant see improving off this...

i rarely laugh at stuff but the whole thing was so darned surreal i could help bust out...

great stuff man

im sorry but that was HORRIBLE

bad voice acting, bad animation! and it goes absolutely NOWHERE! a kid gets a plane and has a flashback!

im sorry, but i hated this, it was cliched, unorigional and sappy for no real apparent reason, and it didnt go anywhere, the kid wants to be an aviator... so? why should i care? what have you presented that would make me care about this child?

listen before people go deleting my post because i was one of few who didnt like this... lets look at a SIMILAR post, by Vinnie Veritas, and im talking about Papalote++ so people know...

similar story, about a kid who wants to "fly" but the kid doesnt talk about wanting to be an aviator, he goes and does it, we already care about this character because we can see the passion and kejones thats hes got to make his dreams a reality. trouble is not EVERY dream comes true... thats what he learns; in this we only learn "its ok to have a dream" i think... was that what you were going for? isnt that a little weak? or maybe its just a kid who has a dream to fly?

how can we relate to this child at all? he accepts a present from his dad with little to no graditute, and then he mourns over his dead mom, who probably died in a plane crash anyways...

heres how i would have done this:

go a step further after he has the flashback it goes to him only hes the aviator, nonchalontly navigating a beaten up old zepplin...

this is a very small way to add a bit more depth to this overwise see-through plot-line...

showing as the aviator shows he isnt just a dreamer, but a doer, and showing how hes achieved his dream is even more meaningful, because seeing that its not just a shiny new plane, its not something his dad gave to him, its something he earned, he built it, that shows comitement...

i didnt like the animation, well.. i didnt like MOST of it... i liked the seen with king kong because its un-obvious... if youd picked "alive" i would have broke out laughing, anyways, it seemed plain... like, its all right, it gets your point across, but if thats whats holding this thing afloat if you'll pardon the expression, then im afraid the whole thing will just crash and burn...sorry

i HATED the voice acting, considering whats being said, you could have well done without it... why? honestly why did you have voice acting? this movie would have been MUCH more potent without it, even if a little on the flavorless side...

the kids whiny voice bugged the heck out of me, and the adults do little more...

and whats the connection with christmas? i cant make sense of that at all...

sorry, keep trying... theres the begginnings of something there, but thats it

2/10

Please dont delete this review anyone

hmmm... well im glad you took the time out to review it. The reason why didn't make it longer was because i knew alot of frame by frame would have to be done, so i went a route to where you watch it and whatever you interpret from what you see is what you gain from the story. The less you show the better right. If i had showed him growing up, it would kind of make you go... well, i saw that coming. The ending of this leaves it open to possibilities to question yourself. And its good because it seems you are questioning yourself alot. I dont understand the gripe about the animation. Did you not like the art or the fbf? What didn't you like about the animation?
If you didn't like the voice acting, well i can't really do anything about that. I choose to put in voices for the main fact that i wanted to have him go out side to fly his plane. If he did it silently, it wouldn't do much for me to have him just run out there after watching king kong. It just felt flat for me without the voices.... Before i started i thought about doing it without voices, but it didn't feel right.
Building the airplane was something that i thought about, but the character i had in mind was way to young to be able to do this and the time period isnt right for that. It wouldn't make sense to have a kid build a motor airplane that can fly when there was barely any out at that time. The reason for the time period too was because i wanted a reason to have king kong in there just because the ending is so great and when the airplanes take flight you feel so much suspence... and also i wanted Howey to wear knickerbockers.
Anyways, thanks for the review

unorigional

it was good, i liked the style, the animation was good... but this concept has been done many many times before..... just not with an eel...

i dont give points for being random... its old hat

terrible

yes the animation was just fine, but joe cartoons, cartoons seem to be getting weaker with every one he does..

each one seems to stumble along, not really knowing what it is, or where its going, so he makes shit up off the top of his head... which could work in retrospect, he just seems to be getting lazy and thinks anything will do.

time to take a hiatus.

awsome!

i got a credit for my cheesy-ass ideas? thats generous of you ^_^

i thought this was an overall very quirky project, i liked the music and the feel of the whole thing, keep it up :)

EXCELLENT!

this is one of the best things i have ever seen on newgrounds, the style was ametuer but the motion was slick and just pure fun! i fucking LOVE THIS!

ive been here a few years now... and im only just figuring life out
