[Las aventuras de Mr.Coo]

Well done!

Excellent animation and artistic creativity make this flash a real winner. What makes this flash great is the anthropomorphic behavior of common objects, and how seamlessly the action transitions from one idea to another, A very well-crafted piece of flash indeed!

[The Match]

A match made in heaven.

Clever idea, and excellent production quality. The character design is wonderful, and the animation is fast and dynamic. Humorous nods to DBZ abound in this piece, notably the outlines of Mr. Satan and No. 18 in the clouds near the movie's start. Good background music and use of sound effects round out this entertaining flash.

[Zip Chord / invincibility]

Fast-paced fun!

A fun and frenetic flash movie, with a style like Sonic meets Rainbow Brite. It looks so fun, I bet it really would make a fun video game.

[Fluete -SE-]

Good flash, misses emotional mark.

A pleasant artistic film that had me tearing up despite my efforts to avoid a maudlin response. What it does best is adapting and synching the song to the movie, complete with lip-synching and excellent timing. Graphics are fine; the character design seems generic-anime, and the animation is average.
.
As to the emotional content, well, that's personal taste, but personally I found the symbolism to be a bit heavy-handed. Showing the disappearance of a younger version of the protagonist with a shirt labelled "innocence" doesn't leave much for intepretation. Nor does walking your girlfriend through a dark room with boxes labelled "fears" and "secrets" and then destroying them. A bit more subtelty would go a long way.
.
All in all though, it's an enjoyable flash to watch, and certainly better than most. I just feel it makes a stab at deeper emotions, but comes off a bit insincere.

[GameOver]

Good idea, short trailer.

A neat idea, and it'd probably be fun to watch if it were ever fleshed out into a longer movie. Sadly though, this trailer is super-short and lacking on content.

[Pope for a Day]

Papal fun!

Not bad! I loved the movie concept, and really got a crack out of the airline slogan, "The power of Christ propels you." That was definetly the best part. Still, I was hoping it'd be longer, and I thought the ending was kinda weak. I mean, diefying a penguin? Come on. And the crucified Jesus didnt make much sense. Overall though, I liked it, and I'd like to see more stuff like this.

[anthropomorphism]

Bunny bonanza.

Interesting work! The "Bunny Cam" was the best part about this flash; I loved the unique perspective. The dialouge as usual is morose, witty, and disturbing, but not as good as the Reaper series. The only thing I was left wanting was a better climax or ending to the flash; I kept waiting for some suprise or scare.

[Safe Sex?]

Steel condom? Ouch.

It's just an average flash. It's not funny, or well-animated, or even that inventive an idea. The only thing that struck me is how painful a riveted steel condom would have to be. Ouch.

D-to-da-P responds:

you really dont htink this was an inentive idea? this has beenmade already. well if it has been im sorry i didnt know. so what is inventive idea to you?

[Days Of Our Lamps]

What a bright idea.

I'm sure many people think this is incredibly outlandish and stupid, but I think that's part of its appeal. It's a uniquely idiotic idea, with some great voicework and interesting animation. Not bad!

[Sheik's a woman?]

Not bad for a first try.

The graphics are decent and the voicework is okay. However, it's just too short and too stupid. From what's here though, there's definetly the potential to make something better.
