[Shroom]

Very cool

That was animated really well. I can't believe you animated the dog spinning WHILE making him lip sync perfectly to the lyrics. I can't even believe you made a dog lip sync perfectly in the first place. That seems impossible to do.

The effects were very nice and smooth. I especially liked when the dog licked the mushroom; that looked really cool and was a good transition. The beginning of the running sequence when the dog first appeared was really well drawn, too.

The only negative of this flash is that it seemed to end out of nowhere, but this is just an experiment, so I can understand why.

Overall the effects and animation was really good. I'm definitely adding this to my favorites.

Long and sloppy, like my pe

I watched the whole 10(?) minutes of this, so I feel obligated to review it.

You were obviously trying to mimic David Firth's style (or you were at least inspired by him), and I think that actually helped you out.

THE BAD:
The lip sync wasn't very good at all. It seemed like you drew mouths in the style of David Firth, then randomly moved them when there was dialogue. One time I noticed you just put an oval over the villain's mouth to make it look like he was talking.

The story was very sloppy and it seemed like you made it up as you went along. I understood the beginning, a man invents a potato chip that will save a company from going downhill, but the middle/end had me extremely confused. It seemed like you threw the villain in there to extend the length or maybe because you didn't like the story you had so far.

The backgrounds were kind of cool in the beginning, but by the end they became messy renderings of images, some I could hardly distinguish (ex- the 'bar' background was pretty rough to look at).

THE GOOD
The voice acting in this was pretty good at some points. I think the narrator/main character/villain did a pretty good job with this. Some of the other voices could use a touch up, and the overall quality of the sound could get better, but the voices weren't horrible to listen to.

OVERALL
I can tell you half-assed a LOT of this. When I say a LOT I mean almost the whole thing. The story, animation, and backgrounds could all be extremely improved. You also could reduce the length by 45 minutes to make it a lot more funny, creative, and better animated.

I don't know why I kept watching this. It would've been so much easier to have closed the window. Maybe it was to see if it would keep going and going (which it did). There could be so much more I could criticize, but I don't want to spend any more time on this flash. I don't even care if my review doesn't make sense.

[The End Is The Beginning]

Interesting

I really like the style and theme of this. The music helps set that, but your animation style is what really drew me in. Some of the effects you used were really cool as well, like that underwater effect in the very beginning. How'd you do that? The explosions were really clean and fluid, too. The only thing I don't like about this is how you reused some clips, but I can see why you did.

Overall you did a great job with this. There's a lot of tweening, but your nice animation style makes up for it.
