[Clock MOON Rising]

Great graphics, little plot.

Astonishinlgly good 3D graphics - some of the best I've seen so far to date. Wonderful animation, powerful color scheme, and an intruiging storyline - so far as there is. The only thing keeping you from a 10 is that it's too short, and there's too little plot.
.
But why did you call it Clock moon rising, when that's clearly not its title? Is this even your movie? Just curious.

[The Captive]

Flat humor, but good nonetheless.

Good graphics and voiceovers, but the humor and the ending runs a bit flat. Plus it seems a bit short. Still, it's entertaining work.

[DFL! Episode 5: Meat Loaf]

Meaty goodness.

Simply delightful... I simply cherish when a new DFL comes out. As I've said before, it's the best damn cooking show I've ever seen, and highly deserves a prime time spot on HGTV. Or perhaps Animal Planet.
.
Having said that, I think this is possibly the worst episode you've ever made yet. Now, don't think of that as a striking blow, but rather that I think, compared to your previous jewels, this just doesn't sparkle as much. First off, the humor just isn't there as much. It's a fine recipe for meatloaf, but not terribly funny. Notably, the mom bit is run into the ground a bit too much - Tako seems OOC, being WAY too harsh on his mother, and her voice has obviously been changed - the mannish sound really doesn't suit her. The off-stage commentator lacks his droning wit, and I was particularly disappointed that no maiming or other bodily harm befell Tako during the show - call me a sadist. The whole invisible thing also seems like a lazy way to save animation - albiet the fact that it IS educational.
.
Some high points though - the email was a nice touch. I should write one, and I LOVED the British voice! I like the concept of viewer interactivity. And the highlight of the movie - and the one point where I laughed - was when Tako's Mom briefly exploded over his dad - that was great. Keep up that spontaneous, sporadic style of humor and you'll have 'em rolling. And keep slowly revealing more of Tako's personality, family, and phobias.
.
Certainly good work compared to most on NG, but not your personal best work. But please keep it up!!

[Lil' bastard]

The squirrel's flat but the movie isn't.

Cute and clever. It's like an animated book - twenty things you can do with roadkill. Nice work again - I look forward to seeing more of your work!

[Baby . . .Eats . . .Cake]

Odd, but not great.

Interesting... is it the cake that screams for being eaten, or the baby in enjoyment of it? Either way, okay work, though I didn't find it terribly amusing. Curious though - just whose baby and family is that?

[Lunchbox]

Crazy.

This is the strangest thing I've seen all week. Well done. Some of the best animation I've seen in a long time as well.

[Shut up and fly, Supes!]

Hitchin' a ride.

Another well-done cartoon, and it's actually NOT smutty or profane! (Well, unless you count the cleverly-done easter eggs - NICE touch). Funny idea, and well played-out. I wish it was a bit longer, though.

[Childhood Confessions]

Poor kid

Hahahaha - looks like you could use some counseling, matzerath. :) Shit like that is EXACTLY why I'm glad I'm the older sibling in the family. No brother/sister of mine is gonna mess with me. Funny and well-drawn work, though I think you've done better.

[Star Clocks Episode 1]

The Final Clock-tier.

Humorous work! An unexpectedly funny movie that makes great use of the original Star Trek to further drive home the CC's hatred of Ki10. The one thing I really would have liked, though, was more explanation of which clock was supposed to be what character. I got SC = Kirk real easily, but maybe a profile at the beginning to clear the others up? Nice work.
