More facial expression and this could make a really epic series. :)
Author's Response:
This is oooooold, long before I really experimented with the joys of exaggerated movement and facial expression. Incidentally, this did become a kind of lengthy series of cartoons (by other people, this is the only one I made) http://ehguy-club.deviantart.com/ I think It's great how that joke totally didn't get old after 5 seconds or anything.

Well done. Your arty style certainly shone through the mostly monochrome world that you created for this music video. Cool direction, nice detail and camera movements. I don't often give Stick Figure Movies more than 5 out of 10, but I cannot deny that this IS a good music vid! :)

I know I've told you this before, but thank you SO much for all your help (and for putting up with my n00bedness ;-) ).
I'll be looking forward to your upcoming animations. Thanks for the review!

It was rumoured this movie had been stolen from me, but it hasn't been.
I can see why there might be confusion though! ^^
Crazy stuff. Crazy. And intriguing!

Author's Response:
Thanks! But our respective animating styles are quite different once you get familiar with them, you sexy, sexy man you.

A delicious balance of witty piss-takery and brilliant craftsmanship.

This is a really good story, but why did you use Neopets characters if you're not really into them? If you had used your own characters then you would have a lot more intellectual copyright owership with this great Flash, but because you used some other copyright characters, it's more of a work of fan-art... but you're not a fan. If you were using Neopets because they've been popular on Newgrounds lately, then I guess I can understand that move, but this was a really good storyline and it almost seemed a waste to use it on somebody else's characters, which may distract a lot of viewers from the actual message.
But I have no idea what Neopets are, so it was all new for me anyway. Good work old bean. Your animation style is quite detailed and engaging (and never lazy). :)
Author's Response:
I never said I wans't a fan, what I said is that the point of this animation is not to display my taste in websites, because otherwise many people would have given it a low score becasue I used neopets, which are unpopular around the web.
and neopetshas not been popular around NG as far as I know.

Fun stuff, a really good style, and nice voices. Could've done with some cheezy 1950's background music though. A fun movie for what it was! \o/ 4/5
(Correct the typo in the title, "Productions" not "Procuctions" ;) )
Author's Response:
lol. Thanks, man. I noticed the typo too but decided to leave it that way. Who knows? maybe some1 will get a kick out of it. This started with a comic strip I made, my friends loved it so I animated it. I've made other comics of it, maybe ill animate them too. As for the fifties music, I couldnt find it anywhere. If u no where i can get it, email me.

"Andrew Kepple approves of this."
It's about time somebody made an animutation of this calibre!
I haven't seen anything like this since Chocolate Niblet Beans and those from the Neil Cicierega era of animuation. This one has my seal of approval, and should survive the harsh judges on Newgrounds, even in the Christmas period.
This is a good example, of which more people should take careful note.
Also, nice "Easter Eggs" hidden in there! Lots of fun clicking those heads!

"DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK burger"
Just like your name, this movie is pretty funny shizz. You should check out strifestrips .com - we make this kind of humour there! Duke sprites rule!

I've always wanted to do one of these narrated train-of-thought frame-by-frame movies. The foreign accent speaking sometimes broken English was adorable, and the story was tragic and sometimes hateful, yet touching and humorous is its own way. RIP Zarkus.

"You name dropper! :P (I'm still honoured though.)"
Very fun-looking, well crafted graphics. The animation "shortcuts" obviously paid off in filesize, but the motion of everything in the movie was very nice to look at, so the occasional misaligned elbow was nothing major. ;) Some very accomplished animating there. It must've been heaps of fun to make.
The witty understatement throughout was very stylish, cheesy in places, but still the good sort of cheesy. Some great comic moments ("$59,000!"). The humour was sort of typical "daily 3-panel comic"-ish, but the length of the movie totally made up for this. I enjoyed it, unlike I would most daily 3-panel comics. Well done! :D
My only whinge is that the music seemed a little bit like it was holding back, during the intro credits mainly. I wanted to hear some lyrics there! Maybe next time?
Overall, and enjoyable piece of well-scripted nonsense that was long enough to have a scene-selection menu at the end, but still worth another complete Replay anyhow.
(Looks like I'm going to hafta try harder in my own animations if I want that $250, eh? OI OI OI!!!!)
