Let me ask you something: Why is everyone hitting on SMBZ in particular?
Because it's winning awards AND money that doesn't belong to something that's pretty much just a bunch of stolen graphics and ideas.
Anyway, I'm not saying that sprite movies are the best. I'm saying they're not the worst, even though they're treated that way. Want proof? Watch Rugrats Gay Scat Hentai X. Need I say more?
Yeah, you do. That "movie" was probably just some old and shitty thing Shrums fileswapped because he didn't like it, and it's only purpose is to offend and piss people off rather than win awards.
Also, a question; If sprite movies aren't the best, why care? Why not defend something that's worth defending?
Hand drawn characters are no more than sprites with smaller pixels. In my opinion at least (if it means anything to you).
You are an idiot, and your opinion is void; The big thing here is the amount of work and skill that is required when working with classic animation in comparison to just ripping and editing graphics from videogames, and how people who actually work to make new and exciting works of art get no exposure or awards due to overrated garbage that's pretty much just some Mario sprites running around with a few lame fart jokes thrown in for good measure, THIS being a good example of what I'm talking about; It's both creative and technically impressive, yet has a ridiculously low score for what it is. I've worked with all of these mediums, and I know from experience what is easy and what isn't.

I found this in crazyboy's debate thread:
most sprite shit is gay but not shit in the top 50... i mean hell don't stereo type it
That's the word I'm looking for! SPA's goal is not to say "ooog... sprite movies are da best..." but to stop sprite movies from being stereotyped just because they're sprite movies. I could possibly agree that... 45-50% of sprite movies suck. but good sprite films are abundant if you know where to look. And one of my personal goals is to make more sprite movies that don't suck. Crazyoy said this before, if you dont like this, make your OWN thread and leave us sprite-lovers alone!
The ones in the top 50 are just as bad as the rest. Why? It's not just because of the stolen graphics, not just because it's a sprite movie; It's because it's just a bunch of characters taken from elsewhere and with stories and jokes that are equally unoriginal and shitty.

Last time I checked RugratsGayscathentai wasnt winning daily feature and taking awards and exposure away from more deserving artists.
umm... that's not the point. The point is that there are worse things than sprite films. MUCH worse. That's all.
But there is nothing worse than a thief. I'd take "DREW PICKLES GAYSCAT" over a sprite movie any day, on the one condition that it didn't consist entirely of stolen jokes, visuals and audio.
