Not bad at all.

A promising start! I was particularly impressed by the spiffy title sequence. There's room for improvement though; the actual episode got bogged down in slow pacing and slightly muddled voicework. There's also room for more background music or ambient effects. Fun stuff; I'd like to see where you go with this!

Canned comedy.

Nice movie! It has a playful artistic style to it, and is really visually fun to watch. I think a better ending might be for the cowboy to slip on a can of beans, causing him to fall down the stairs and break his neck. But that's just my opinion.

Needs more explanation.

Like most of your work, the best part of this movie is the animation. This one is fast-paced blow-em-up fun. The one thing I really wanted was more of an explanation behind the peacetank's mission/purpose. I know you wanted to be metaphorical and universal, but like a lot of NG people, I like clear explanations. Good movie though!

Compelling, thematic movie.

This is a good movie, because it seems to have what many movies lack: an underlying THEME. It's a simple and universal theme, but no less poignant. As I see it, the story's about the average young man, probably in his mid-twenties, who struggles to cope with the tedium of adulthood, with its stifling responsibilties to work and "loved" ones. In his frustration, he escapes to the comforting, nostalgic memory of his passing, carefree childhood. It's a temporary escape however, and it's easily broken. But he'll do anything to stay there, even to the point of self-destruction.

The physical violence in this movie seemed a bit harsh and out of place, but I was pleasantly suprised by the optimistic ending. It seems to portray the girl (and the love interests she symbolizes) not as simply posessive and domineering, but as someone who feels genuine concern for her partner, and is willing to make personal sacrifices for their well being. She opens her heart to him, and together they move forward to the future. If that isn't the very definition of love, I don't know what is.

A very enjoyable movie, with a thought-provoking theme and some good animation to boot. Nicely done!

the voilence was to make the conflict seem more physical and out there i guess. plus i had to have him try and get back to his dream world somehow.
thanks for the review and the further analysis on the plot.

Pretty poor.

The animation is poor, and the ending is too creepy for my tastes. It's not bad enough to be blammed, though.

Wonderful art.

Beatifully artistic and impeccably executed. That about sums it up.

Excellent collaborative effort!

This movie has but one purpose, and it excels greatly at it: to produce a frenetic stream of frame-by-frame animation inspired by pop-culture flash cartoons. Whether that makes it quality is a matter of personal taste, but I liked it. The animation is excellent, and it lasts much longer than I expected. I'd say this is an excellent collaboration of some talented flash artists.

High style and spotty delivery.

It's a hilarious and delightfully clever movie idea that falters a bit in the delivery. On the plus side, this is about as good a parody I could imagine with the idea you've chosen. You've really managed to mix two otherwise unrelated media. The dialouge between Cats and the Captain is a riot.

However, the lyrics and animation are very repetitive. This really can't be helped due to the limited source material. Also, the graphics are also a bit crude; those color gradients stick out like a sore thumb. So I really enjoyed it , but you really did have to stretch things out to fit a ~6 minute song.

And I even edited some of it out! ^_^

Short but good quality.

I'd probably find this movie more entertaining had I seen Predator. This flash is short to a fault, but the graphics and sound are quite good.

Hare-riffic.

Fun bunny-style slaughter. It's better than the first, and has some great creative action sequences. Well done!

If I've unfairly judged your movie, please tell me. I make every effort to be objective and thoughtful.
