This has some effort and potential, but needs work.
the Sound is OK and the music is good.
The animation is limited and uninspiring but does the job.
The plot etc is simple but quite thoughtful. Is there a connection between the intro story and the rest of it? The artwork with those building looks good though slightly fuzzy, then its just matchstick men, which is a disappointment.
What really bugged me is that the text is so hard to read. Most came up dark with the dark man in front of it. I tried 3 times to read it, finally reading most of it, including the spelling mistake.
Right, I am definatley doing a remake. Please review and see how you like it then. It should be submitted by the 20th of may or earlier. Thanks for the review.
OK. I saved this one for old time's sake, but No, I will blam anything else that comes through like this from this revival. I will give you a usable review so you know I am not just being a hater:
1. No button to get back to menu from each one.
2. Carrot's was OK, but Banana was dreadful art, animation, sound -everything and you know it.
3. Spell revival correctly, only the CC get away with crap spelling cos they are CC.
4. the Docks specialised in a small number of movies with some quality to them, including using 3D, camera angles and a better type of voice than crappy Speakonia.
Whoever you are, I suggest if you are at all serious, that you contact the old Docks and ask if you can work with them to make a proper revival.
Look them up on Wikigrounds if you want to know more about them.
Anyhow, I would like to see some good new Dock material, so do go for it!
Very good art
OK but not great animation. Limited and repetetive, especially the swordplay.
Storyline OK
Good connection to music.
The next step in quality would be animation- truly smooth varied and expressive animation is always really hard- there are no short-cuts to that last stage where it really looks like you did whatever you felt like at whatever angle.
Yes. I was, of course about to blam it to hell, then, OK ! Its mildy amusing with good voices and effects. Nothing great by itself, but its OK. Good enough sound, art animation etc.
Yeah! I like this!
Like many other people, I thought the original number was some kind of joke at first, which is a shame. I wouldn't call it cos I'm in UK and its expensive and I don't have much to say.
I watched it through and it was OK, so-so etc. until the subtitles, then HAHAHAHAHA !
It was all very neatly done, with good animation and sound, then obviously some effort went into the subtitles.
Check the messages- we just sent one!
I thought the thing with the eyes at the beginning looked good.
Otherwise, it was the usual Duairt stuff that I struggle to watch through. It certainly has some length to it and a bit of story, but the squeeks and the lack of proper animation gets to me every time.
I've seen worse and you guys have improved a bit over the series.
Well, I'm the only one wo did anything. Banglaboy created it, and that's about it. It's like the Soup Squad, except their flashes are actually worth watching.
OK, it does work and it has music. It is a dressup, but no...
Its very basic, with so little options and interest that it holds no interest to me. The black garment with red stripe looks quite good but thats it.
Only dressups with a fair few options, preferably with some animation, maybe background options and better art than this would get over a 1 from me.

Pretty basic, but its all there
- got relevent music, got a simple story, got animation and simple Sprite art.
I find it amusing that an author and "crew" called the Catapult Coalition can't spell catapult or coalition consistantly!

Hm, not a very nice subject; creepy. However, in terms of its artistic skill etc, its good quality- sound art, animation , voice etc.
I suppose its supposed to be funny and I don't find it funny, but Newgrounds will probably love it!

Good sound, animation, art etc.
Its all good enough, except I can't hear the last things the "good " guy says. I tried it twice, but its silent.
The guys talk sounds familiar. I try to make sure I vote on artistic merit, not just what will get the most points.
The Good guy mouths the words WTF. I don't like to swear so reading his lips will have to sufice.

The subtitles were the most crucial piece. Putting it up, we knew that it would be the comedy act.
