The Tank Awards have returned. My only question is, will we get to see our first custom header for this new redesign with the Tank Awards on the horizon? Also any new awards being introduced this year? However...

These three I see beautifully in not only their storytelling, but their animation is simply amazing. They are truly captivating from beginning to end. I have to say though that Animator vs. Animation III would get my vote if I were a judge. Song Of Skyrim is a musical parody by HappyHarry, in which case seems like it would be amazing and funny, but for me it misses its mark, and is not one of HappyHarry's better animations.

Out of the nominees listed these are the only two I see that truly shined to me. I can only hope that Reimagine :the Game: and William and Sly 2 don't win. Reimagine :the Game: introduced a different style of gameplay that is creative, but it doesn't work to it's control scheme. William and Sly 2 is just as bland and boring as its predecessor.

Well that's my take on it.

How many can you vote for?

William and Sly 2 is just as bland and boring as its predecessor.

Lol gee thanks. :3

IT'S NOT TOM'S FAULT THAT 99% OF THE INTERNET LOVES MEMES AND VOMIT AND RAGE ENDUING GAMEPLAY! IT'S THE VOTER'S FAULT.

Don't think I was not aware of that condition at all. It's still the same fact that it's a shit stain. :P

This. It's one of the first animations I've seen in the 8 years I've been here that actually made me feel like I was watching a legit television series. Plus it's all original content.

Now that's what I'm talking about. However, out of the two that have been brought up, I'm liking Ãta Ãta Mirlaquerr a lot more. Now this is the kind of animation talent that I'd have to sell my soul to the devil to even obtain.

It's a really cool game and you could play for hours!

I think that I would choose for movies between Pokeawesome and Salad Fingers,even tough,I think Salad Fingers will win,because it has a greater story and,hey,Salad fingers became one of Newgrounds's Mascot.And,for the games,I really enjoyed Burrito Bison,Charlie Sheen and Goin Up.But I think Goin up will win,because it made stay 5 hours in front of the computer and it's made by 2 NG pioneers (Gonzo and Komix)

Wow, apart from the pokemon tower defence game, every single game on that list is a medal game.

You guys should definitely add Aqua by G. Zilbalodis, it's a shame this work didn't get as big as most movies, but this is a true cinematic adventure that definitely deserves it's place on that list.

Aqua is 2012. Gonna FP that but gunning for a higher quality file first.

Thanks to redminus approaching me, I took a look at Wilhelm Park and I feel it deserves a spot in the nominees. Some fun twists at the end that kept me interested so this one should be considered:

Manly, what are you doing.

I highly doubt Lab of the Dead. It's just another Zombie flash. Don't you guys even know how overrated zombies have gotten nowadays? The Zombie theme has been played out long ago, not worth the nominee.

I hope Hammer and Fail 2 does well, in light of recent depressing events. 2012 is not a good year for Newgrounds.

D-Mac-Double is gonna win because he has good voice ammirite

Let Edd win it, like a final respect too his passing, after all, it is his last work, it should be granted that honor, right? it may not sound fair to the others, but well... i dunno, if it were me running this, i'd give edd the gold as a good bye present of sorts, may he rest well

I don't know if you have heard yet but Edd gould from eddsworld has passed away.

This event should honor Ed Gould for a lifetime achievement award.

Personally I call Shenanigans. Too close to April 1st for my liking. Too close.

Haters be hating.

I agree, but not just because of Edd dying. All his work was well done, and I saw the list a few days ago and was hoping it would win. Too bad if it does win Edd won't be around to see it...

I kinda don't think it deserves to win.
Edd was a great guy, and it was a good animation, but I don't think it was the best of 2011.

Incoming hate in 3... 2... 1...

I don't think it deserves best movie of 2011 (there were some pretty amazing submissions last year) but I hope it gets some well deserved recognition.

Man I thought abobo's big adventure would make it

Reasons why some may not be up there are because they are either not 2011, or they are sponsored animations and games...
So quit nominating stuff that just came out, jeese.
