"Wonderful!"

date: March 6, 2007

I loved the prologue of the series and I loved this episode too. The artwork is fantastic and I'm sure you're having as much fun animating it as the watchers are watching it. There were a couple of scenes that just seemed to strike me as odd though, such as the escalator. It looked as though it was going backwards at one poing when they were going up. Maybe it's just me.

But the small detail humor is what got me. Especially the shirt at the back of the van! I nearly fell out of my chair!

Great movie/episode. Looking forward to more of your works.

"Zzzzzzz."

date: March 6, 2007

Alright, let's start out with one of the good things first. The drawings and art itself were really great, and the animator obviously has a lot of talent in that category. Still, although everything is pretty to look at, the whole flash is completely devoid of any personality. This was honestly one of the blandest animations I've ever seen.

Maybe the story does need work, but that's not the main thing I feel is bringing this series down. The characters themselves just have nothing likable about them, they are just so empty and lifeless. No emotion in the facial expressions, and the voice acting was also quite bad.

The best part was definitely the backgrounds, which were awesome. I found it much more entertaining just to stare at them then pay attention to whatever was going on.

I'll start by saying that you are a fantastic animator. Your characters are exteremly well-drawn. The mouth animations are top-notch, and you have a knack for detail.

Unfortunately, your shining talent is bogged down by two things: your voices and your storyboard.

The voices suit the charcaters well, but I have a problem with Throwback's especially. His voice his quiet, choppy, and lacks emotion. It is a bit different for some of the others, but Throwback being the main character and all really hurts the movie with his voice.

Also, the storyboard lacks much. It simply did not keep me interested. I understand that this'll be a long series, but the lack in humor, when that is seemingly the main genre of this, bogs it down. You may be shooting for a more family-friendly animation here, but a few better jokes and gags would help.

Overall, this was a two-sided animation. While the quality of the animation and the characters were good, the flash fell under the weight of displeasing voice acting and a less-than-satisfactory story.

Keep up the animating, though!

"great so far but..."

the voice of throwback is almost unbearable! incredibly choppy, with very little emotion... is there no one else who can bring some life to this character! this was my soul issue with the pilot episode, but i was hoping maybe the acting would improve (or the voice actor would change) for episode 1. since it hasn't, i'm voicing off! everything else about this series is top notch... and i think that's why the dry (and many times hard to understand) voice acting of the main character really throws things off. good luck.

"GREAT!"

date: March 6, 2007

I thought the episode was brilliant, but the ending was a bit too abrupt, and the voice actor for Throwback sounded like an amateur. He sounded like he was reading it straight with little to no comedy in his voice and the encyclopedia bird's voice was so monotonous I wanted it to stop; it went on too long.

This Duck takes me back to Howard the Duck movie. Very nicely done. It's the best I've seen so far.
