Hahahah, really funny. Best 5-seconds movie I've seen. But then again, it's a 5 seconds movie, without colors and such, so I'll give it an 8.

Hard to choose between Rube Goldberg DVD, The Test of Doom, Forest, The lazyway and Candy Land... But I think Candy Land was the best one. That movie was simply epic! :)
O.o funy-mony just keeps pop up in this year's hunt
Tea: Short, simple, and somewhat funny.
New Jack Chase: Trippy. Good choice of music and a funny suprise ending gives it extra credit.
Pinball-like Echoes: Strange and funny. Great imagination, great animation, it was great.
Blattaria Blast: Lighting effects were anazing. Reminds me of metroid. The problem is it is very fast so my computer froze. But the credits were very funny.
Dogtime: Cartoony and pretty funny
Icarus: Effects are 5 star!
Damn Pumpkin: Not so great, the slight humor is saving it from bad reception.
Candy Land: I love it. I love the animation, Film Grain, and sound effects. I will probaly be seeing this at the Tank Awards in 2010 (if it was submitted in 09)
Ex-Girlfriend: Honestly, the wosrt ive seen so far. I don't even think it's worth reveiwing.
The Lazy Way: Much like that car ad where it has all the peices of the car in some machine to press a button on the keys. So it isn't that original.
Where did the missing socks go: Weird.
Carrotoid: Short, and funny, nice choice of music too.
A Rhino's Stomach: Errr, ok I guess.
The rest were pretty funny and pretty weird
My favourite was Candy Land. I reccomend you guys watch it.

Just noticed something. Candy Land is a daily Feature. Doesn't that mean its not allowed to be a gem?

As long as they aren't in a collection, and haven't been frontpaged, they're allowed to be a gem.
But Daily Feature means frontpaged...

Daily Features are in the P-Bot post but not technically front paged in the FP showcase space. The treasure hunt prize does lean towards submissions that didn't even win awards, though.
Thanks a lot for including my request for A Rhino's Stomach Tom. My cries fro mercy must've worked.
I must be a really quirky guy, because I liked a lot of these. I narrowed down my 5 favorites to these.

This one was very well done. First off, it was all frame by frame animation with beautiful coloring and awesome plot material. I loved the quirky characters and the quirky design of everything. This movie was well.. quirky! The music was preety kickass as well. Great job man!

I have always been a fan of this guys work and would make this my second favorite. His frame by frame white on black black on white style always gets me. The way everything is set up is just eyegasmic. Each detail is so original and each movement just makes me go WOH.

10/10 for both. Well animated, creative even if one is just a bit from a series, highly underrated. Good choices for whoever picked the two.
I picked the first one. I knew about it because I love the rest of Kol-Belov's work, but I noticed that this particular submission had somehow slipped under the radar.
This one was poetic! I liked the style of it and it really sent a sort of chill up my back. Very nicely done animation and such a cuuuuuttttteeeeeee bunny lol!!! Great job on the originallity! Love your work!

My second vote goes to this one! The colors are reall crazy and fun! I liked the character design of it was cute and nice. Thanks Tom for doing this, it was a cool idea.

Tea is a simplistic animation with great artwork. It plays to a nice catchy song and involves mankind's most powerful weapon ever: Tea. This movie makes no sense at all.

New Jack Chase is an animation with a great style. At times I had no clue what was going on though, and the ending is horribly clishe.

Pinball-like Echoes is a cartoon that is sure to put a smile on your face. I love how this plays off in a world far beyond ours. The style of this flash is expressive and fun and the ending is surprisingly humorous.

Blattaria Blast is a movie I thought I had seen on frontpage before, but it could be my mistake. This is a great musicvideo with nice action. The overal presentation of this flash is awesome, but the story confuses me a lot.

dogtime is entertaining and stylish, but I would have prefered it much better in color. I also can't help but feel that the song didn't fit too well with the animation.

Damn Pumpkin teaches us some good morals. I have to say it's a nice animation, and has some good voice acting. But the ending didn't satisfy me enough. I believe with a little more effort this could have been much better.

The lazyway is a pretty simple animation of the rube goldberg machine. I'm sure I would have liked it better if it wasn't a chainreaction made of lines and circles but it was very entertaining anyway. Also the ending is pretty humorous.

The Test of Doom is simular to Weebl and bob in a way, but then again it doesn't seem like a total rip off. This flash gave me a few good laughs, but was then ruined with a laser shot from the mouth, which is never funny.

Stress Bunny is some weird shit, pretty artistic. Some great frame by frame work involved here. I must say though, that I dislike the fact that the same song keeps layering on top of itself as soon as it ends and loops to the beginnning again. No preloader either.

Flim was a pretty nice video to end with. Many things happen rapidly in a row. Entertaining and neverending. It goes with a style that is quite lovable, and some laidback music to back it up.

Ugh this took so longggg X_X
Glad I'm finally done. Watching each flash is ok to me, but I'm not going to review every single one again.
Pinball-like echoes was my favorite.
Are you MAN enough to click this?!
i wish Dogtime was finished...buuuut
I vote for Dogtime.
Um... to be honest and fair to those who submitted those flashes - most were not in my style so I did not find them to be very entertaining to me. I lost interest in most and found myself more or less wondering when the movies would be over. The winner to me is Ex-Girlfriend. Funny, unexpected, to the point. =)
Just finished reviewing all of the movies for this category.
I always find these experimental and quirky movies to be interesting, mainly because each author uses a style based on their own imagination. The plots and stories told are always different than other flashes, so many of the flashes were unique. My vote for this category goes to:
Click to view.
The whole animation was flawless. It told a fantastic story that was mixed with great music. The characters each have their own personalities and you eventually become connected to them. You will be entertained from beginning to end. A true hidden gem that cannot go unnoticed.
I really wanted to vote for two flashes I recommended that ended up in this category, Test of Doom and Flute, but I would have felt so bad that Pinball-like Echoes would not have received the recognition it deserves. Anyway, congratulations to all the hidden gems in the quirky category, I'm looking forward to see what other treasures are yet to be uncovered!

Haha, that flash is hardly educational dude.
I'll do my reviews in parts, because I don't have enough time to do it all at once.
Tea., = 8/10
Nice, short and sweet.
New Jack Chase = 6.5/10
Wasn't that interesting
Pinball-like Echoes = 6.5
It reminds me of something you'd see on Sesame Street, kinda.
Blattaria Blast = 8.5/10
The style of animation is pretty decent, very clean, and certainly adds to the epicness of wrestling giant, mutant cockroaches.
Dogtime = 7.5/10
Very good fbf, humorous, somewhat, and the characters were consistent in their style, though color would've made it perfect.
Icarus = 7/10
it has a strong style, but it's too short and clueless.
Damn Pumpkin = 6.5/10
Quite funny, but a bit messy.
Candy Land = 8.5/10
Good choice of music, well timed, quirky ending. What more could you ask for?
Ex-Girlfriend = 8.5/10
Funny. Random, short funny. I watched it ten times, laughing like a crazy man.

Hehe, yeah I figured it wasn't actually all that educational. It is however presented in the same way an actual aired educational short would be presented. So I just named it that way because I didn't know how else to describe it :P
Sorry but, is this actually being written by Wade Fulp? Im sorry but i heard this really mean rumor that Tom Fulp is dead and Wade is writing his posts. If he isnt dead, thats fantastic, if he is, im so sorry. Please reply

Didn't know you meant it that way (probably just the way you said it). But yeah, I think that's what Boogley was trying to accomplish with the flash.
Oh man, it took a while, and this choice was even harder than yesterdays, but I have to go with Stress Bunny for my choice. So weird, so odd and imaginative, but it really was something I liked. Okay, maybe I'm biased for the utterly bizaar, but if I had to choose just one, it'd be it.
Pantalones was my runner up, alongside Dogtime. Thanks for all the support and votes in return, too!
hey
im in there
thanks tom
even though that movie doesnt really show what i can do now but definately thanks!
Okay! I watched every entry. I didn't feel like I should review all of them, but that doesn't mean one was necessarily bad; I just don't think writing the same thing over and over is useful to this process. All my reviews were done in word and transferred over to this thread to insure that I wouldn't have to many spelling errors ;)

This was very long, well done, and creative. A fine example of hard work paying off. I doubt the artist is very good at drawing or animating, I could be wrong, but the flash here is very refined and pleasing to watch.

Good old fashioned pixilated fun, that really looks like it could have been out of a Nintendo game, until we get to the funny end. I suggested this one, so I'm rooting more so for it than the rest ;)

Flute

A flash that has a point and blew me away with it. It's hard to see why this one shouldn't be a winner because it's so well done. The only problem is it is abstract. But I got it I think. The father is unsupportive of his sons creativity, a shameful way to raise a kid.
