[Game Grumps Animated - Saddest Led Zeppelin Song]

ok, since i love led zeppelin, and since i liked your clever take on plant's specific song, i have to say that this was very enjoyable for me...

first of all, you drew plant's face/pose/animation perfectly, and at times, it was pretty realistic, a thing which is VERY hard to achieve. congrats!

also, i liked the wild face expressions of both dan and arin, while i liked the ''beavis & butthead'' scenes as well.

last but not least, the lip-syncing was (almost) perfect, and the whole movie was detailed, with great (realistic) drawings and with good humour.

really nice work, keep it up!

BrilliantBuffoons responds:

Wow that was an profoundly thorough review, thank you sincerely!

[Golf With Friends ANIMATED]

so, its the adventure of one golf-ball, and of its 3 colourful friends! (yay!)
i loved the face expressions of all the balls, and their general design was pretty awesome.
also, this was a very fluid animation, with a good pace, a nice speed, and everything was nicely designed, while the voice-acting+the lip-syncing was top-notch.

also, the story was really funny, and the humour in this was great.
i laughed alot at the white golf-balls reaction to his friends wild antics/distractions, while i also laughed alot in the ''sphynx s mouth'' scene, it was really cool & funny! XD

as for the ending, it was pure genius.
i am impressed.

last but not least, thanks for the clever cameo of circle-shades from the ''shades gang'' animation group, (aka the grey ball with the sunglasses), this was a nice touch! ;)
if you dont get this joke, just type ''shades gang'' in NG's search system.
you will be pleasantly surprised.

all in all, this was a great movie, and i loved it.
please make more stuff like this, and keep up the great work!!!
you rock

g31r responds:

Hey, thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you liked the animation! :) As for the Shades Gang, I had never heard of that before, so I guess I accidentally referenced it.

[Crazys]

this was so wild and insane.

are you insane? yes.

now, the movie was OK-ish, with good animation & design of the 3 cats, while the main (human) character was super-creepy, accompanied by even creepier voice-acting! eek!

it was short, it was creepy, it was wild.
its good, the only BAD thing about it, was the flashing red lights. other than that, it was OK.

WhyHuman responds:

Thank You very much for your comment. This is the conversation I have with my cats everyday.They always run towards me when I make that voice.It is what it is because its true.

[PANCAKES!!]

hahaha! this was random, but funny, and it had nice animation, with cool, crazy face expressions!
the voices were silent in the beginning, but then it was heard loud & clear: ''pancakes!''.
the puking scene was weird, but i liked the general humour in the movie...

good work, keep it up!

RealLifeSeagull responds:

thank you for actually naming all the good points and bad points, will take everything on board for future animations! :D

[Clocks Can Ruin Your Life]

knock knock!
who's there?
a mundane movie, trying to pass as an intellectual comment about the clockcrew's futility.

yes, this movie was indeed (slightly) better than your other ''anti-clock'' movies, but it was wrong on some parts:

-the clockcrew is not making repetitive jokes, let alone creating ''knock knock'' jokes.
if you actually watched some of the good CC movies, you would see that there is a large variety in comedies, parodies, and even in serious, dramatic movies, regarding either fictional, philosophical issues, or irl events that occured in the CC's forums, one way or another...

-in your movie, you claim that the clockcrew is making ''the same repetitive jokes'', and you depict a couple ''knock knock'' jokes, in order to emphasize your point.

however, if there's someone making ''the same repetitive jokes'', that's you, and we can see that you are using the same joke 3 times, aka the:

''remember when i said i was your (insert status here)? well... not anymore!''

so, while you are complaining that the CC is making the same jokes over and over again, you did the SAME exact thing in your movie...
and i shouldn't even mention that you use the same unfunny jokes in your other anti-clock movies as well...

so yeah, once again, you have/you display the exact same qualities that you hate:
you make the same things again and again, you use the same jokes again and again, and you are always using the same theme again and again.

at least, in this animation, you actually tried to create something different, so i guess thats pretty good enough for you.

however, your movie wasn't funny, it also wasn't informational, nor very enjoyable to boot.
so yes, you should add more jokes, and you could make this movie longer, by adding a scene where you explain what should happen in the CC, in order for them to improve and to become better as a creative team.
(suggestions and constructive criticism are always GOOD things, so if you would have added that into your movie, along with some humour in the way, i believe that this would improve your movie alot...)

anyways, this was an OK animation, with OK visuals, and a complete lack of humour, while all the jokes were repetitive. at least it had nice graphics and OK voice-acting.

[PTFA Guy Hates ClockDay 3]

this ''anti-clock'' movie still reeks of childish humour, teen angst and gay jokes, but thankfully it has some kind of a story in it, and it manages to be ALOT better than the abomination that you created in 2006, aka ''PTFA guy hated CD 2''....

with that being said, the movie starts off with the PTFA-guy smoking weed and trippin' as hell, while he sees clocks everywhere, making him feel sick & uncertain.
i liked that he ''destroyed'' the first clocks by playing with the synthesizer... it was clever & funny.
(instead of using guns & mindless violence like you usually do in your other anti-clock ''movies''.)

also, i liked that this time you've added some various classic cartoon characters in your movie, such as fred flintstone, snoopy, barney, bob and smurfette...
you could add some more jokes/scenes with them, but they were a nice detail.

(i assume that you used sprites of those characters, instead of drawing them by yourself.)

also, the final scene of PTFA-guy VS the clocks was interesting; this time, instead of shooting them in a crescendo of mindless stupidity, he talked with them, and the clocks suggested a truce with him.
but then, you couldn't take it anymore, and you depicted the clocks as you like to imagine: as losers that are only interested in stupidity and in gay activities. you shouldnt depict others with your own personal tastes, its quite unfair, imho.

so, once again, we end up in a ''mexican standoff'' scene, where its a battle of gunpower:
the good VS evil, the smart VS stupid, the clocks VS the PTFA guy.

and then... then they both lose! that was a nice twist, i will give you that.
and eventually, he woke up, still reviewing clock-movies in his PC. i also liked the ending, it was pretty funny!

so, since this movie wasn't that bad, i will judge it fairly, and i will give you 4 stars.
unlike you, i use fair judgement on every movie, even if it was created by a person that i dislike.

you should also learn how to use this principle on your voting/reviews as well.
support the good movies, and rate the bad movies according to their actual quality, NOT according to your personal prejudice about something.

have a good day.

and thanks to the clock crew, you are still getting some extra pageviews+votes in your way.
i guess its truly ''your time to shine'', thanks to that pesky clock crew.

ironic.

[Why isn't Martin Lawrence in movies anymore?]

well, let me tell you: this was a GREAT movie for your first movie ever!
i really liked how you drew your characters, and the whole animation was fluid and very nicely organised.

also, while the first person was talking with the ''movie executive from 2001'', i LOVED how the movie executive had a HORRIFIED face expression as he was watching the first screening of martin lawrence's ''the black knight'' movie...

what can i say?
matrin lawrence's movies are (always) wild, cheesy and not commercially successful, but i like them!
just like adam sandler's and nicolas cage's movies, they are a guilty pleasure for me! LOL! :D

great movie, it's both funny, and nicely animated. you did a great job, sir.

PS: oh and BTW, the movie executive looks like Will Arnett, AKA ''the Gob'' from arrested development. was that intentional, or not? either way, its funny!

good stuff!

CarsonJudd responds:

Thank you! Actually, Will Arnett was the direct inspiration for the character's aesthetic, that man makes the best reaction faces.

[100 Fans??]

this was a funny little animation, and the ending was hillarious! :D

as for your 100+ fans, congrats!
i have 128 fans, and i know how awesome it feels.
feel free to watch+review my movies, if you want... i like getting feedback.

also, your animation style is cool and quirky, i like it.
keep up the good work!

Megacharlie responds:

Glad you liked it! :D

[Vigilance]

this was a good/cute movie.

all the characters and the cat were nicely drawn, the animation was swift and with a good pace, and the whole story of the movie was both clever and funny...

a cat's ''vigilance'' about defending its own ''property''!
nice!

also the movie had good face expressions, and good voice-acting.
very nice work, keep it up, and do more!
