[Please Don't Mute Me!]

Groovy

I liked the merge between the music and the visuals, the way the 'story' was realized and everything. Very cool stuff! Extra kudo's on bringing out the Sax with that!

There's one point of critique though, your animations look a little shabby at points. Some areas look a lot more polished where others stand out as looking unprofessional. Like the running bit where the floor sort of 'mutates' and the odd looking flap animation when you see the guy's wings from above. Work on spots like that next time and the whole will come out even better!

This is ofcourse...

Made of Win!

[WKUK Russian Roulette]

It's fun enough

It's a funny bit... but the clipping audio is FRAGGING annoying!

[Weird Al's Best]

's Alright

Pretty decent animation, especially the lip syncing was good! Your audio clips a lot though, which is kind of annoying.

[Balloon Head Fred]

Short, simple, awesome!

Pretty much of that!

[Gravitaxis ++]

Animation, Great! Music... not so much.

The animation was great, it really sucked me into the motion of the whole thing. The whole story is pretty awesome, and very well told in reverse too! Very novel, good job!

As for the music, while I like most types of music, and I enjoyed some parts of the score under this one, I really hate the repetitive thumping bass sound that's through a large portion of it, so that's a definite downside for me.

Other then that, pretty good job!

Top notch!

Another great installment in the... well... whatever you'll decide to call this little storyverse of yours. The dialog-intensiveness of this one put me off at first, but by the end it didn't bothered me at all. Whichever way you decide to continue this line with later on is fine by me. The dialogue is good but I liked the 'silent' episodes just as well.

Like the full-circle as well! Can't wait to see more of these!

[Jackie]

Awesome!

I really like the Jerry cartoons, and this one is just as good as those. Great stuff!

[Climber (Escalador)]

Smooth ride!

It ran smoothly and looked pretty appealing, for a stick animation anyway. I'm a bit partial against them because they tend to feel a little 'cheap'.

Laughed at the ending though :D

[Bellum Letale]

Good start

It was definitely interesting! The biggest issue with this flash isn't your art or the animation it's the composition of the whole thing. You really set the mood well at the beginning, but I feel like you 'drag out' each scene for too long.

The beginning with the falling leaf? Great start! It's just a bit too long to really hold that moment. The shadows firing? Again, adds a lot but it lasts longer then it's appeal is. Same with that final close-up.

I think this could grab the audience a bit more if some of those 'dramatic' bits where a bit shorter so that you give the viewer time to 'dwell' in the little you show but keep their interest by moving on to the next thing before that has run it's course.

Barring that and a spot of lag, everything else was pretty good :)
