[New Years (Clockmation)]

hey, another cool short movie by bluestone clock!

this one is very funny as well, and it depicts bluestone's rage when people wish him ''happy new years'' or ''happy holidays''. i shall ask: ''WHY SO SERIOUS?!'' (lol jk).

anyway, the main character was nicely drawn, his gun wasnt very nicely drawn, but i guess you will make it better next time, the transition scene between bluestone's realm and the clocktopian chat was a bit fast but nicely presented+funny either way, and the final confrontation with the cheerfull holiday wishers (redbook, polyhedron, BB10 and MFC) was really funny.

i loved it that you've added a really heavy, deep speakonia voice in redbook's character! it was very funny!

all in all, it was a good little CC flash movie.
keep up the good work!

[Rocky Blue (clockmation)]

nice short movie about bluestone clock revealing why his body is white, while his name indicates that he's a blue stone.

both bluestone clock and BB14 were nicely drawn, and their face/clock expressions were good.
also the text-to-speech voices were nicely used as well.

the ending was funny and i enjoyed this movie.
keep up the good work!

[BluestoneClock's Suicide]

a beautiful movie by thor clock, based on the famous book of richard koplins ''the bell rings twice for bluestone'' : a true masterpiece of our era and a brutal, honest look on today's society.

as for thor's animation, all the character's were nicely drawn, the dialogue was easy to hear, and the whole story had a nice mixture between anger, disappointment, teen angst, humour, and eventually, redemption for our young heroes.

in this movie, we see bluestone clock+ caps lock-clock facing the problems of modern society, as the wise l1fty-clock provides them with some vital solutions+advices in order to survive in today's jungle. after that happens, a mysterious feline-ghost appears, and starts speaking about the values of life. phantomcat's voice acting in this iconic part was a bit ''boring'' and underwhelming, but it still did the job anyways.

in conclusion, this was a great movie, and it had a nice mixture of sadness with humour.
another great piece of art by thor clock, god of thunder.
keep up the good work!

[LL- Mockery]

ah, once again, this is a great flash movie by zteagh lock!

i really like how you drew the locks+the background, with nice linework, good colours, and nice details.
also their lock/'face' expressions are really well-drawn as well.

as for the story, it was hilarious!
i liked how it all started as an innocent joke, until poor RSS got insulted by this (still innocent) joke, and he started running away, crying.

all in all, this was a very movie, with a very joyfull concept.
i laughed alot, it had great humour in it, and it was nicely animated.
keep up the good work!

[New Year with Clocks]

an awesome and funny CC movie, showing us the celebrations of the new year: 2018!
i loved this movie's humour, shown in scenes such as the one where redbook asks directions from lolipop clock, and the guy tells him some really looong+difficult instructions, and redbook freaks out (nice clock-face expressions, BTW).
another cool scene was when redbook crossed the huge lake of clocktopia, and at the edge of the lake, there was a sign saying ''edge of the lake: you're still in clocktopia tho!''. very clever.
another good part was the scene were the M+M-clocks talked strangely to redbook, and after he left the store, they thought that he stole the fireworks from them, lol! (due to their amnesia)

i also liked the use of good music, the subtitles, and the nicely synced sound in this movie.
(the audio problem in the end with the crowd cheering was a tiny problem, and therefore its not v. important.)

all in all, it was a great movie, really funny, and nicely animated, with many good points.
happy new year!

RealRedbookClock responds:

Awesome, thank you very much. Happy New Year BB10

[A Merry Lockmas]

this was a great LL collab, and im proud to be a small part of it.
it was festive, nicely animated, with good visuals, fluid animation and with some excellent, festive humour in it...

i particularly liked the parts of: wine-lock, zteagh, RSS, gem and chocolate lock the most.
the whole collab was properly organised and nicely put together by the wise mind of wine-lock.
excellent work, sir!

i like your stuff folks, so keep up the good work, and merry clockmas!

[Epic BB10 Tribute]

this is indeed a legendary flash tribute the the legendary Cc hero, BB10-clock, swordsman extraordinaire.

i liked the graphics, and the epic buildup of the preloader, up until the big reveal: of BB10's movie being a tribute to his wacky antics! well done, sir vuvu of clock! ;)

i remember this sig back from the CC forums era, but i lost the file, so im glad to see it again!
my only suggestions would be:
-needs more swords
-needs more songs (preferrably epic)
-a loop of BB10 swinging his sword/running would be quite beautiful.

but apart from those suggestions, this was a great flash movie, and i liked it alot.
keep making great movies!
thank you for the epic tribute, my 5's are always with you!

[Horny Is As Horny Does]

oh man, ''horny the dog'', is finally here!
i remember seeing your older posts, mentioning that you were posting screenshots+short clips of your character, since this was a WIP.

it took you a long time, but the quality of the animation is great as always: good walking loop, nicely framed+looped background, many details both in the background, and in the character's movements, his face/eye expressions were very nice and detailed...

it was a great cartoon, and it reminded me of the old classics: ren and stimpy, looney tunes, and some of the other, more naughty cartoons that were created in the 1930's...

another cool detail: horny's cigars had the ''crying indian'' label/trademark, which depicted a devastated indian/native american while seeing a massacre at his village.
i dont like it when people are making fun of the native americans, but if it was a clever way to point out the suffering of the native americans, then i guess its OK.

i also liked how horny's eyes were rolling like a slot-machine when he saw that sexy chick.
all of his other ''lusty'' animations+expressions reminded me, once again, of old classic cartoons.
another cool part was the scene where his cigar's smoke formed an accurate(?) representation of his wealth: airplanes, cars, dollars and a mansion.

the woman was drawn in a great way as well: nicely drawn hips, good boobs, and a beautiful face, all combined together into a flawless animation sequence.
she was really nicely drawn, and it was one of the best parts of the cartoon.

the plot twist was also good, and horny's suicide+the girl's answer with a ''wooden'' sign were also some nicely animated parts of the film, making it even more memorable.

it was very short, but animated in a great way.
you certainly have the skills of a great animator, and i never expected anything less from you.
i was always a big fan of johnny rocketfingers, and despite our disagreements, i always admired your work and i respected you as an artist.

so, i hope that you will keep up the good work, and that you will keep growing as an arist, both creatively and emotionally.

cheers

[LL - Seeing Double]

i have to agree with the reviewers below:
this is the greatest movie of 2016's lockday! ;)

seriously tho, i liked the squigly linework of the movie, and the cute use of speakonia for the voices. the whole story was hilarious (wine: i will tell u about magic the gathering: ''nerd talk'' LOL!)
i also loved the moments where courgette breaks the news to the 2 wine-lock's: and that they wanted to meet eachother: ''how do you do wine?'', ''why, im fine, thank you'', and the: ''you're out of sync, wine'' part was great as well!

well, you get what i mean: your movie was nicely executed, and with a great story+humour in it...
i guess im seeing double too!

PS: plot twist: courgette was drunk.

PPS: this was a great movie, and i enjoyed it alot, so keep up the good work!

[[LL] - Family Addition]

it was a long wait, but...
who's the father?!

oh man, that was a nicely animated, funny movie.
great gag, and cool joke of wine's metal-rage reactions...

everything was nicely drawn, and with a fluid animation...
good work, keep it up!
