[Perfect Kirby 2]

Now this is what I'm talking about!

Now this is more like it! No uncomfortable pauses. Great fast paced action. Better models, coloring, animation, frame rate. And it's based in Northern Wisconsin! Great!
.
I commend you especially on the animation job. The rotation effects on Kirby and others, the spiffy tranformations, the gunfight scenes - all very slick. Very realistic human movement as well - the cape work on the scientist just blows my mind. And the humor - thank you - you actually had me chuckling quite a bit! Splendid outtakes.
.
But once again, AGAIN, there was the lack of music, or BAD music when chosen. The opening/closing theme was good, but Kung Fu Fighting? No. Didn't fit at all. A good solid high-tense rock or techno piece would have been great during the long and exciting fight scenes.
.
And again, despite my long-winded nature, let me commend you again on a great movie.

[Perfect Kirby 1.3]

Getting better!

Frankly, I thought the the Disney rip at the beginning was the best part. A real clever bit of original humor. Aise from that, there were exciting bits with the Matrix and Jet Li style fighting, and the nicely brutal Zelda cameo. The violence was overall well-done - I give you bonus gore points on the dismemebered jaw slicing near the end. Brutal!
.
The third movie still suffered from a general lack of sound effects and music, though the helicopter sounds and final music worked nicely. And again, I personally didn't find the humor all that amusing. You do too much "over-explaining" of your jokes. Let them soak in instead of being overexplicit.
.
Despite the criticism, I still think you did a good job on this. Your skills improved greatly through the series, and can only keep getting better. Can't wait to watch episode 2!

[Perfect Kirby 1.2]

Still suffers from same faults.

The second installment is better than the first, but it still severly lacks proper sound effects and background music/ambience. The humor does shine through a bit better (notably with the penny bit), but there is still the issue of bad paced pauses, and bad microphone distortion on several counts. But despite my heavy C&C, you still put together a decent movie.

[Perfect Kirby 1.1]

A start.

Not the greatest of films, but a promising start. The humor was dull, and as you said, the animation was a bit flat at times. It also felt uncomfortably long and there were dead moments of pause. But I did like the "Of Mice and Men"-like criminals and that Kirby is a Green Bay Packers fan. If the enthusiasm for the following episodes is any indication of their quality, I'm in for a treat.

[Yoshi's Island 2 (VGDC)]

A bit boring.

Not really your funniest work. The entire history plot is long and drawn out, but the last two endings are particularly clever.

[The Tao of Space]

Deep and beautiful.

Themewise, absolutely superb work. Watching the movie and meditating on your message, I think you have done an excellent job of conveying your intended theme. The beauty is, you deal with such a profound and universal theme that it makes for lovely reflection on a variety of related topics.
.
Considering the production, the pacing and animation is less compelling. The constant-tweening of ships makes the space voyage feel somewhat unrealistic. Notwithstanding, I empathize that accurately modeled 3D ships and realistic space physic models would require an inordinate amount of time.
.
Overall, it is such a treat when I find movies on here with such profundity and depth. Truly, I pity viewers who pass this over as mundane.

[A Simple Request]

Clever.

Terse and to-the-point. Just like a demented comment card should be.

[Valentinez Day Special]

Poor effort.

Almost interesting at the very end, but completely lacking in content.

[David & Goliath]

Divinely funny!

Uproariously hilarious! I wasn't sure where this movie was going to go at first. Was it going to be a religious tribute to 1 Samuel 17, or blasphemy? I think the end product exceeded any expectation. Well done. Work on your animation skills.

[DragonPuff Z]

Great style!

Very promising! I enjoy both DBZ and PPG, so to see a mix of the styles is very entertaining. Your animation, artwork, and humor are all very well-done, but PLEASE search for better voice actors. The very childish voices, combined with bad mic distortion almost ruined the whole movie.

Make more, change the voices.
