Well, I watched some of the others, most of them are pretty cool, but I broke my DS and I need the money, so Test of Doom gets my vote. Well, not just becuase I'm greedy. The movie is well animated and the humor is nice and clean. Plus, it's a pretty funny concept in general.

Reviews:

Nice beginning. Animation is simple but good, the plot is random and funny, seems unfinished though.
7/10

Cool graphics, it fits the random plot line ;d
8/10

Whoa, this was really good. The animation is smooth and the movie itself is really entertaining! ^^
9/10

Cool movie! The action was pictured well, and the movie was also very entertaining. A little hard to see what was going on in the beginning...
9/10

Animation is awesome(!), but it looks unfinished due to no colors.
8/10

Cool movie. Nice graphics and effects. The explosion looks great.
9/10

Haha, funny. Nice voice, but the actual sound quality was bad. This would've been much better with colors.
7/10

Wow, this was REALLY good! The animation, graphics, effects, sound, voices! Everything looks good. Epic!
10/10

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.
8/10

Smooth animation, interesting movie. The music fit perfectly :)
10/10

Hmm, there's something with this kind of animation that I don't like... The colours and the storyline was nice, but there was almost only tweening.
7/10

Haha, so random and funny. Nice little pixelmovie!
9/10

The first thing that catches my eye is the great menu! The animation is great, and the story is pretty creative ;d
9/10

Some of the parts were really nicely animated. The graphics was really detailed. Other parts were not that good...
8/10

Extremely random and funny!
9/10

The graphics is really good, and the fbf animation is awesome!
10/10

Adventure Prohor and Puzo
Neat animation! Really good graphics, but the ending was too.. sudden?
9/10

Awesome graphics. The story is soo random and funny! ^^
10/10

Cool fbf animation, but this one also seems unfinished.
7/10

Interesting movie. Really mystical. I like the old-fashioned graphics. Would've given this a 10, but I feel it progresses too slowly, so I'll give it a 9.
9/10

Great fbf animation! Pretty funny too.
9/10

Hmm, the animation is pretty good, and the forest-graphics is nice. I feel, however, that there's something missing earlier in the movie...
8/10

Haha, awesome! I really liked the ending ;D
10/10

Nice fbf animation, the style is really good, but I did find it a little boring.
8/10

Interesting movie... Looks trippy. Cool animation style.
8/10

Hmm, pretty good. I think the animation was a little... loopy, or choppy, though
7/10

Great cardboard-graphics, nice animation. I enjoyed it.
9/10

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! :)

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.

lol, my store
Did you touch my talala
Vote for the :3 emoticon

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

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.

Serious tie for me.

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.

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.
8/10

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.
6/10

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.
10/10

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.
9/10

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.
6/10

Icarus is a very nice animation. It was pretty confusing though and did little to entertain me.
5/10

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.
6/10

Candy Land is an awesome quality cartoon that has some funny looking characters in a very serious setting. Candy going to war, whoah.
9/10

ex-girlfriend is a flash I submitted to the Treasurehunt myself. Three seconds are all that's needed for a quick laugh. The graphics aren't that neat, but they do for this cartoon. Great for a replay.
8/10

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.
7/10

Where the Missing Sock Go is like one of those mysteryland movies. Especially the insane battle with the orc was a lot of fun to watch. The ending is just right. Great animation.
9/10

Carrotoid (0m:18s) was a pretty good pixelated movie. It was funny, mainly because of a surprisingly funny ending right when I found myself in a state of confusement.
7/10

A Rhino's Stomach has a good story, some great graphics. It was a bit long, but atleast it was entertaining.
8/10

Just a few buds is an okay movie. I prefer collabs to have longer animations. But the graphics were certainly nice and so is the music used.
5/10

TripleBits it's intro is the shit. Everything that follows is nice and entertaining and all, but not quite as funny as the intro is. Although I must say it still is very entertaining as is expected when they VF brothers are involved.
8/10

Forest is a great gem, very artistic and the graphics are pretty amazing. It's creepy in some ways but mostly just mysterious.
10/10

Adventure Prohor and Puzo has amazing graphics and a humorous style. I'm not sure what it is about since it tells me to watch the full version elsewhere.
8/10

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.
7/10

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.
6/10

The Agent ep.2 plays of in cooltown, quite fitting. This flash has some serious style. I don\t have much bad to say about this flash apart from the fact that some scenes were a little too long.
9/10

Ooohhh! Pantalones! is a great frame by frame animation. I guess you could call it educational, for spanish little kids anyway. Quite likable.
6/10

Save Me seems like an animation that started as something random and ended up as something very fascinating. Some great graphics as the animation progresses, very enjoyable.
8/10

Rube Goldberg DVD
Another Gold Ruberg movie. This time it involves more detail, a more complicated goal to reach, and a bad ending. I like it.
8/10

Rubiks Cube is a short that doesn't make much sense but has a pretty nice style. It still brings a nice message to whomever's birthday it may be.
6/10

Flute is really experimental and childish. It doesn't make much sense but in a way, that is what makes it so good.
9/10

'Whirlpool Chicken'
Surreal, that's for sure. I can't really tell what's going on here, but I must say it's pretty entertaining to watch.
8/10

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.
7/10

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.

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:

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!

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

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.
