[Shamoozal: Crapfest Force]

The pacing was as slow as molasses.

Could the pacing of this cartoon be any slower? If your cartoon is dialogue-heavy, you better have some pretty funny drawings to compensate for the lack of movement. The poses they were doing weren't the least bit funny to me and they weren't really specific to any character. I suggest a technique used in cartoons that eventually develops into full fluid cartoon acting. It's called POSE TO POSE. What this method does is where a character does dramatic movements and holds that position, then moves to another position very quickly, best used to potray a "dramatic" scene. It can also be used in a short like this. Careful not to make the poses too wild though, or it will seem like your characters are flailing around. Character acting is very important, so be sure to find things and traits that will distinguish your characters even more.

Shamoozal responds:

Hope you're not talking about the Crapfest scene in particular because if you are, I think you missed the point of this short.

As for your "pose to pose" comments... we went to animation school, man. Degrees in this stuff. :)

[Sonic Halo]

Three fourths of this movie was pure filler.

I do see an honest effort here, but I think marquee value is what will make this series or whatever it will be excel. Sonic and Halo is overdoing it. It really was filler to just sit through a trial at the beginning. It felt muddled and confusing during that trial. Another thing that was annoying to see was the considerable use of rotation. I'll trust you for the next part to be better, seeing as how people liked this one.

It was alright. I liked it.

Dear Darkgunfighter,

Please don't say those things without checking every profile for the user's age. You can't just assume those things. And sex was a little irrelevant to the actual review.

Dear Walrus, to get on track of your flash,

It was good. You have an interesting series. Ignore what the person below me (by comment) said about the importance of sex and relevance to Family Guy. Family Guy is a phase, but don't ever feel tempted to copy the kind of jokes Family Guy uses. I'm not saying that you ever did do something like that. Just keep what you got going, because I notice a steady incline in your work. Good luck on your next SSN new flash.

[a SMB3 Tale I]

Very entertaining.

Very good. It was smooth like the game, so it was believable. Nice work on editing the sprites to do all of those custom positions. Everything was pretty much good all around. I liked you style of violence. Pretty violent, and it wasn't over the top, and it didn't have blood. I don't care if blood was in there or not, just not a ridiculously gory amount. Good luck on your next installment.

[Throwback the Duck Ep. 0]

FANTASTIC.

I haven't seen such an original series in a long time. This is it! The voice acting was great, along with the 80's music, the backgrounds, the character designs, and the writing. Good luck on your next installment!

[the YuYu]

Excellent excellent excellent.

Adam, you did a really good job. When the creature was running from the black mist of those things (I'm so sorry I don't know his name!), the way you drew the camera scrolling side to side and back and forth was amazing for being hand drawn. I know that you put a lot of elbow grease and sweat into this. That's all I look for. Yours just had more than effort.

[The 10 Second Collab]

Very creative!

I like how the gags are one after another, boom boom boom. It's great that you don't sense any slowdown in the momentum of the cartoon at all, it's almost nonexistent. You only feel excited for the next joke to come. Great job to all of you guys. And if you ever decide to come back together to make another collaboration, good luck!

[Bird Skipper (Part 1)]

One hell of a cartoon!

You have an excellent concept on your hands! Reminded me of Ren and Stimpy (good cartoon). I cannot wait to see what happens in part 2! I like it!

[super marrio parodies]

Jerry Jackson strikes again!

Great work with the background music. So simple and yet amusing! You have found that spot that separates you from everyone else in your flash movies, making each and every one of them fun to watch. Also, just a question. Was the purpose of this flash meant to make fun of all the bad Mario Bros. parodies, or did you just want to be funny? Thanks for another addition to your own collection. Good job!

[bigg nosed man]

You have your own style, that's for sure.

No offense. The plots are ridiculous, and the graphics aren't exactly great... but I LIKE IT! The riddled spelling errors, the way you pronounce internet talk (kthks), all of it is very strange and I guess it clicked with me. Very original, especially with the smarties!
