[Sonic: Race Against Time]

a splendid movie!
it had sonic, squidward as the shakespeare's othello, who advices sonic to take care in his trip to hell, because it would change him forever, and since this would happen, he would have to restore his fractured friendship with knuckles before he would leave...
after that, we see a touching discussion between sonic and eggman as they discuss the morals of good VS evil, and the various points of view that a war can bring into ones mind.
then, the descent of sonic into hell in order to save patrick the star, and tails the fox was truly the best piece of the movie, since it showed the evil antagonist: lord blachk himself.

truly a great part of a great movie, and i would love to see the sequel in this, because it would be great!

[Mega Sonic Bros. AF ep2p2]

this was good, with the proper use of sprites+animation+good use of backgrounds, thus building up to be a good animation, but the story is.... well-known.
sonic+super mario+DBZ+mechas? come on, whats next? super-naruto-man, along with bleach and megaman, following the trail of sonic in the battle for the delta halo?
come on, man. you have skills, thats certain, and your animation is good, and it also has subtitles, with is a huge plus, and it has a nice intro/design/animation going on, while all the sprites are used perfectly in the movie, but still, your problem is the story.
while the megaman+sonic universe is quite more original than alvin earthworks ''sonic+mario+SBZ'' old recipe, it stills needs to stand out of the crown a bit more.

make a NEW story, with maybe sonic doing something other than helping super-mario's princess.
dunno, make sonic going on an epic adventure in the future, to save, lets say his future-self from his enemy, shadow, or something, and he teams up with rouge to talk some sense into future-shadow.
or, you could make something even more different, and plan a movie that has a futuristic enviroment, and it shows how sonic's world has changed since aliens arrived in mobius and rebuilded the planet like a modern day atlantis, thus defeating eggman at his own game.

there are many ideas, but the combination of mario+sonic+DBZ isnt new or freash anymore.
i hope i am not rude or harsh to you, i just see that you have the talent, you have the SKILLS in sprite animation, and thats great, you also added subtitles which is a big step forward in a movie, and its bad to see that the only part of the movie that you seem to have trouble with, is teh plot/originality.

that is all, take ir or leave it, that is my advice. try a new approach in this. you have the skills, so you can do epic stuff.
or dont.

either way, you can do good(visually) movies.

RPGfan2005 responds:

Thank you for all your feedback. There's more than just the Mechas as an enemy. They are just the tip of the iceberg. But in know what you mean. By 2008 standards it was good. By now. It is saturated.

[Women power]

very nice visuals, and clever/pretty movie, with nice drawings/characters/animations, but this movie needs:

1. a preloader/play/replay button. if it loops, its not a very well organised movie.... despite its great graphics.

2. subtitles. i could not understand much if what they said, so this would need some english subtitles ASAP.

other than that, it was good.

NerdKats responds:

By this time we are not aloud to animate subs and the preloader button we are trying to get better please forgive us. Also we are putting the youtube direction so you can check them in english.

[First Lap Dance]

very well animated, sexy and hillarious at the (gross) end!
great punchline, and great joke in the final scene.

i loved it. truly great, and you are an excellent artist on doing sexy+funny animations.
keep it up!

[TMNT: Just a mask]

clever role-play/twist on the (now) classic scene of the new TNMN movie, and you added...SQUIRTLE!
what a nice addition!
i liked the whole scene, and how the lady pokemon fainted.
very good, and just with the turtle joke going on, this could be a good short mini-series.

your drawings are crystal clear, cool+detailed and well done, and your animation is nice, and fast.
i like it. do more, you have SKILLZ.

Steinberg responds:

Thank you! I am very proud of the lines and details on this one, glad that people are noticing it, it always pay off to put more effort in my work :)

[Sartre Claus]

very nice animation, very clean+detailed drawings (i love santa's face), and a wonderful animation with a great message+spirit of optimism going around.....

very very good!
do more, my friend, you have skills!
(maybe add a preloader in next works, but still it was flawless. epic.)

[Pass The Gravy]

what a nice collab! once again, you did a great work, guys!
im very happy to see one of my suggestions in the portal, and im always proud to be a part of the projects, no matter if they are big collabs, or small projects.

the animation was great, and there were many funny parts in this.
i loved every part in this, but my favorites must have been: pop-tart's part, phantom cat's part, patriot's, ankh's, rubberbilbo's, renegades (ofcourse), and melloyello's part. (epic as well).

there were MANY good parts and funny moments/many good jokes in this collab, and i really liked as well the work of peen-clock, which was surreal, and interesting to watch, with a good follow-up by rubberbilbo. also, the greatest surprise to me, was caramel apple's part as well, which tied-up well with the rest of the parts, and gave an interesting element of humour+storyline going on in the general climate of the movie...

great work, caramel apple! i loved your part, and the introduction of pineberry clock, strawberry clock's nemesis.

overall, this was a great collab, and a wonderful project, making all the right movements, and it was full of good animation, great humour, and with many many awesome moments.
do more, guys!
happy thanksgiving.

[First Beer]

nice animation, cool humour, and
good message: thats why i only drink wine!

poor guy, never accept gifts from strangers!
funny stuff!

[Seinfeld - "The Yogurt"]

i liked where this is heading....
it looks good, it sounds good, and its funny.
my only advice would be to have some more action going on, and more jokes.
you should make more moviez like this, and maybe even add some more epic moments, like kramer's ''OPEN THE DOOR AND SLIDE'' move.
this must happen.

anyways, thats all, you do good stuff, so do more, this seems nice+promising.

DragonBallDavid responds:

Thanks so much! I appreciate it!
The things you mention are very helpful. I definitely want to work on putting in more action in my cartoons, as well as making them longer and include more jokes. I also plan on making another Seinfeld flash in the future, so I'll keep in mind the stuff that you mention. I would love to put in Kramer's open the door slide like you said! Hopefully I can improve on these things in the future.
Thank you for watching and leaving feedback! It really helps a lot!

[FML-FTW Animation]

a good animation, and very cool, and swift, with nice animation, and cool characters.
this was very good, despite the (phenomenally) lack of colours.
i liked how you used the few colours that you had for showing the character's emotions, f.e., how the one of them was shy/blushin', etc .
it was cute, and well done.

it was very short tho, so maybe next time add a bigger movie, and maybe add some more stuff, like humour, and some other story going on as well...

keep it up.

Stoner360 responds:

Thank you so much. At the time I had a due date so. I wanted to make the animations more fluid and add more story but. that was the best i could do since i was only given 3 weeks.
