"awesome concept"

by: Michelangelo

date: May 17, 2005

visually it was rough
around the edges, but
it was unique and oddly
charming too. music
was great and addicitive
to listen to. the concept
was actually interesting
and brought up very
intriguing ideas which
more then makes up
for the subpar visuals.
otherwise superb content
material and music...
mediocre graphics.
ending was a surprise
and further pieces the
begining together.
score: ****
kudos,
MJ

"think before you review"

by: aicrooster

date: May 16, 2005

Nobody can be seen in this flash as simply good or evil. Both factions, whether it is the surface dwellers or the underworlders, are ambiguous in their motives. While the underworlders can be seen as evil for taking an innocent child as prisoner to be executed, they are merely trying to avenge those of their race that have been turned into balls by the surface dwellers. This can be seen in today's world through terrorism, and what you get from this flash really depends on how you look at terrorism. Most will outright condemn it, but you really need to look at the whole picture first. You cannot outright condemn the underworlders for their actions, as they were provoked by the surface dwellers.

"I thought it said it was about "Comunism" at first"

by: Fondor82

...So I didn't get it untill I re-read the description >_<. I'm not too fond of the doodle-style of the movie, but I really enjoyed the overall plot and presentation of the peice. Also, the lack of sound effects, while most likely an artistic choice, left the movie feeling a little empty (for lack of a better word).

Another part I liked was when the Mushroom-shaped-kid was following the Blue-kid as he searched for the ball, I thought you did a nice job of building tension there.

JayMiles- you shouldn't review unless you watch all the way through, this is a type of flash that you can only understand if you do so

"simplistic style with open ideals"

by: blackstun

date: May 16, 2005

at first the art looks badlydrawn, but you can tells its good by the smooth flow and direct choice of colours. I don't understand whats so bad about the idea of this movie. I'll reword things to how they are know so even a moron could understand. Sally and Jim were playing ball, they lost the ball, the alligators went to eat jim (there not allilgators but from a reality perspective they are) jim gets saved by the men. The alligators get turned into more balls. :D its human nature, we destroy that which threatens us, and use that which is accessible. Unless your some stupid Vegan you've come to accept things that way as how things are. we're only slightly different from the creatures, (colour) but thats what makes us, humans.

lol anyways submissions coulda used better music/sound. and maybe something a bit better visually

"Consumerism? Not buyin' it."

Very meandering. I didn't even watch it half way through, I'm sure. I felt lost and rather like falling asleep.

"Morons ..."

by: celticbarb

date: May 16, 2005

Ok, first off, for Mechanical, you're not too bright. The underwordlers are not, in fact, innocent. As we saw in the beginning and end of this film, the underworlders are used to make the balls. If anything, they are retaliating against being turned into frickin' play things. And, AutoDingo, you're retarded as well, because there is no underlying text about the structures of society in a film about what this idiot author sees as comsumerism. If anything, this film was made up as it went!

Score: 7

"it was ok"

by: Mechanical

and for mr. ap english student who thinks he's critiquing this submission well, the "white" kid didn't force the "colored" kid to go get the ball. the blue kid kicked it down there in the first place, it was his job to go get it. and where did you get "dirty task" from? how exactly does pointing to the hole signify him forcing the colored kid to do labor thats too "dirty" for him? what in the flash portrayed any form of "feigning joy?" as for the "underworlders," who cares about their feelings? they tied up an innocent kid and were about to burn him. do their feelings matter at that point?

i hate when people think they're being intelligent
