I believe you mean, poor anyone who submits ever again, after he does.

harhar, I saw that a few days ago, I have my sources......
I also got my Bitey Tshirt a few days ago :) took about 2 weeks to deliver

I'm speechless.

So cool...

God damn, he definatly got better, a lot better. I found it to be better than prowiles, but thats me, I think it had more of a good story and plot behind it, instead of just random creatures beating up bitey and a guy peeing in water =P. None the less he is probably the most talented artist ever, or at least the most talented that NG has seen. I can't wait till he submits, it will be so exciting to see the scores and reviews.

Dear lord, I have never seen something so amazing on the internet. I am completely astounded. That opened up more flash animated cans of whuppass, than any flash will ever do. I can't wait for part 2.

I seen this in a topic in the General forum, but regardless, that movie is SO.FUCKING.AWESOME.

Adam Phillips may be over-rated, but indeed, he is one ofthe GREATEST Flash Authors NG has ever had.

i like adams work, visually beautiful and executed equally well, cant knock that at all. I just never get into his stories, they never excite me or draw me in, they seem very disney while im more comedy central or hbo-ish.
I've never been into the fantasy shit anyways so im biased. His work only gets my artistic boner semi hard.
There is alot of the personal touch drained out of it in my opinion when it goes that uber polished. The artists care and imperfections are no longer around and i kind of miss it.. I get far more enjoyment from Dan P's work or even sqeezy's.. to me they lack in the professional execution they make up for in personality and really giving a face to the animation.. they push more of the envelope of an artist really expressing himself through line and rawness.
I can see synj's work a mile away and know that thats Dan, or thats a Sqeezy.. or thats a Marc M.. or Ryan K. Whereas the only thing that would lead me to ever pair Adam with his work is the sheer polished to death look.
I'd be more interested to see him do something really out of nature .. not necessarily change his style per say but lets say make something where its not always a balmy 70 degree day in a beautiful spring day.. maybe make something where its dirty fucked up and ugly.. the beauty of ng lies in its rawness for me. I can goto the movies or flip to the disney channel to get my tv-quality jollies off.
Bring on the flamin' bitchez i know how outraged people get when others have valid differing opinions...

urk.. well I'm not *trying* to polish it to death.. just trying to do better things in each one (in littleFoot's case I was working on depth), otherwise it'd just be "I liked Prowlies better" or "you haven't done anything new".

I agree.. that's part of the reason I do movies other than Brackenwood that are a bit more fucked up. That's not to say Brackenwood doesn't have a dark side.. it has a pretty nasty background story that isn't for kids. But the last thing I wanna do is put a token lava sequence, or boiling mud sequence, or flat-gray-rainy-bad-guy-house sequence.. cos every damn 2D Disney movie has a location like that in it somewhere. I may as well introduce a sidekick, or some showtunes.

anyway, you've given me a lot to think about.. in fact lots of people have since I released this :)

Adam.

Great to hear from yah. Great animation by the way. But will you be submitting Little Foot to newgrounds any time soon?

i kinda agree with some of the stuff you said but its kinda the shiny look is just his style, not as if hes trying to be someone else doing it its just his actual style, as in your style is "i cant draw, look at me im so overrated me me me"

JOKE JOKE JOKE

one thing i like about brackenwood and i spose why its a hit on NG is because its kinda taking you back to when your a kid, but its still cool because its not so young.. cant explain what i mean.

i like stuff like this because its crazy to look at all the weird creatures and stuff in it, like the yellow blob thing etc. it will be mad when a lot of brackenwood episodes come out. spose i mean the 'depth'

also luis you said he should do something completely different, if you havent seen it check out his 'Transdermal Celebration' movie, its kinda got the fantasy bits but its also a bit more close to life with characters.

i think im inbetween you two, i like some of the fantasy stuff, but also the stuff luis is doin'.

END OF TRANSMISION

I dont think that only changing subtleties like not including a lava or boiling mud sequence will really seperate it from the disney animations. One thing that disney always lacked in my opinion is depth storywise. I think this depth in the story is what makes other animations these days very succesful, like Corpse's Bride, Wallace Grommit or Finding Nemo. They are less predictable and focus more on the characters, rather than on the entire visual style. These deepened characters arent really there yet in the Brackenwood universe, besides the bit simple personalities they dont discover or learn. While the design of Bitey is very clever and cool, I cant relate with him as much as with Jack Skellington for example with his love problems. Each animation is more a short situation on its own.
What i do really like about the Brackenwood series is that it doesnt conclude with a cheesy moral, or that it is in any way pretentious. Its plain fun and sometimes humorous. In that way IT IS different from the disney movies. I still like the series alot, i enjoy watching them every time again, it just lacks a bit of cleverness in my opinion.

....... Dude. Just... Dude.

Its a link to his site, where he wanted people to see it first, its not ON Newgrounds yet. Get a grip, I didnt see Adam comlpain in his OWN post.

I cant see why he'd be pissed to see how people love his work.

Sry if i insulted you but not Adam...

Personally, I don't think the man's animations are overrated or lacking in any way, artistically, plot wise, style wise or in any other way.

Right now I'm still trying to absorb the details of littleFoot after Karl had sent me the link many, many hours ago.

Just because the little details are scrubbed and polished doesn't mean that it's lacking a soul, littleFoot has soul in spades. The characters are expressive and beautiful and the backgrounds are just beyond belief. It tugs at my heartstings in a way that Disney really isn't capable of.

I don't know if seeing it is inspiring or depressing, littleFoot is the new yardstick by which all visuals in flash are going to be measured.

I think the last little Ninjai episode already set that bar a while ago

Aye, I hadn't seen that, indeed they are both insanely good, the Ninjai team has come a long way from episode #1 (which was the only one I had seen before). Very nice. =)

For sure lol. I just watched episode 1 again. Cant believe they evolved that much

Kool, glad i didnt get like totally anal raped. Well all i can say is different strokes for different folks. Adams work inspires me in pushing the boundaries of animation and technique, theres no denying that the guy knows what hes doing. I guess thematically it just doesnt do it for me and thats ok, as we all know that its impossible to appeal to EVERYONE. Anyways thanks for your response adam, i was hoping youd see that.

No...i didnt. It's not that good.
I still like the first one best.....and i like stuff with thought provoking stories even better,

I'll be sure to vote a zero when it comes out...not out of hate but out of balance.

Thats just lame. You vote what you think its worth. If everybody else dont think like you do, then its not your problem. :S
If it gets a higher score then you think it deserves, then dont be a ass about it. GAH! that made me angry.

Whats funniest about this is that Adam actually posted in this topic 4 posts above you. If he didn't want anyone to see the movie, he wouldn't have put it on his site and he would have moaned to Karl HIMSELF.

Get a grip.

Oh, you're so cute and/or independant.
I bet you think you're helping Tom Fulp and the rest of the Newgrounds viewers by doing that, don't you? I hope you're the only person who thinks they should be doing this so your retarded theory makes grand a 0.000000012 score difference to the movie.

Heres a GOOD reason to vote 5.... so just shu'p and vote what ever you want, here's a fivven!
