Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I really enjoyed this animation. I loved the story. The graphics were crisp and the animation was, although not perfect, pretty darn close. The music really set the mood and made it enjoyable.

I would also like to commend you on your responses. I think that it says a lot about how serious an artist is about his work when he takes the time to listen to the criticism (good or bad) regarding his work. I can understand why and how a lot of artists can fly off the handle when they get a particularly rude review ... and it takes a big person to handle them with the cool headed control that you have. (But I HAVE to admit that I laughed for ten minutes straight at the "goat shit" reply.)

All I can say is keep up the amazing work and I look forward to future submissions from you. Take care.

Fantastic! (I am runnign out of opening words that do not sound flamboiant like Dazzling!).

I am glad you enjoyed this animation and loved the story. Oh, and its awesome the music set the mood for you to enjoy. =)

I think reviewing is kinda fun, you get to see the views of people who watched your animation. It interests me becuase there are so many talented people on newgrounds, not just the artists, but intellects that review movies with solid critique that enlightens the artist or just plainly tells him what to improve on.

Its also nice to just get positive response becuase that helps the artist feel good about himself and his work.

Haha, yeah some reviews I just try to laugh or get the reviewer right back with wit. But its all in good fun, don't take me seriously, I have a good sense of humour.. I think. =)

So thanks for the review, amigo. Take care, as well.

"It was good, I didn't understand it"

I'm not saying it was bad its just i don't really under stand it, the animation and sound were good but it was to spirtual for me, otherwise it was really goodly drawn, just to spirtual

Author's Response:

Oh thats alright, I am glad you liked the music and animation. It is about a spiritual topic that was meant to show the spirituality of a spiritual journey taken by a spiritual boy of a spiritual tribe that had a spiritual way of life. Maybe it is a little too spiritual. Hurray for Spirituality anyway.

"Good."

This submission is probably why I decided to register to Newgrounds. This has definately gotten a lot of mixed reviews, and I must say it's disappointing that people give Flash animations that had effort put into them a zero. Well, that's not the reason I registered. I just wanted to say that I really appreciated that you responded to everyone's reviews. I think that taking the time to make a responce to other people's feedback and opinions (although very bias) is about the nicest thing I have seen. I enjoyed the flash, although it does seem a little cheesy to begin with. I also think (what other people have mentioned) that the audio track should be given credit for within your animation. Fine piece of work.

Author's Response:

Thanks you for registering and reviewing, wow that takes time and I appreciate it. I try to answer all reviews becuase tonight I have no homework and I love English class. Yeah I like to write, so in my reviews whether it is positive or negetive I try to either acknowledge the reviewer for taking the time to write or be witty and clever about my response. Maybe make a few people laugh about something that was meant to be offensive to me.

I am glad you enjoyed the flash, because I enjoyed making it. Good point about the audio track mentioned in the animation. I considered it but I wanted the music to fade out with "Thanks for Watching =)" sooo... I excluded it. Hmmm, without Enya making that song for the Gladiator movie this flash would probably lack in effective-ness. So Kudos to Enya and Gladiator and you for making an account to review my work. Hurray for everybody. =)

"Wonderful!"

I can't believe how some people don't get that this movie isn't meant to be funny or action-packed. It's a simple yet beautiful work of great Flash animation.

Keep up the fantastic work!

Author's Response:

A splendid review! Other then the eating the berries and making a face part it is not meant to be funny and not meant to be action-packed. I am glad you appreciate it for what it is, =)

"Its okay."

A little deep for newgrounds and its not realy my thing, being a racist and all. Good flash for those who like it, I'll take swear-ridden Beebo the Cat over it anyday though.

Author's Response:

I can see from your profile picture that anything without a man that is:
1)Old
2)Balding
3)Naked
4)Fat

...is not your thing. And I do not intend to include that for your own personal satisfaction. You may be racist but at least you accept the bald, fat, naked, old men that the women their age reject. Taking one for the team, your such a tropper.

Oh, and a sucessful shag with that cat.

"another great for this site"

by: Jacob-L-Reed

I tried writing a soild review for this but words alone were nto enough for what this short meant... i think that, if it a bit longer the message would have been lost. The music in th ebackground is enough to put you in th emood of whwere you are but not so much to drown your ears in it. I believe this was a terrific short and I would think that someone needs to save this and make something better from it... a greating card maybe.

Author's Response:

Thank you very much for your wonderful review.
Awesome! This could be greating card material, maybe if your son decides to go on a vison quest you can send him this, because at the end it goes: "May the great spirit guide you well, son."
