Here is its eulogy, a collection of the kind words written about it while still among the living. They shall live on forever in its place.

Fun and enjoyment is in the air however the night grows steadily darker and something is discovered.

I do. Weird. In a good way.

I would have said something close to what was already stated, so instead, I leave you with a question:

You're a few chicken nuggets shy of a Happy Meal, aren't you?

I think that both this movie and the last are incredibly structured and drawn in ways very few other flashes resemble.

The way everyone looks both happy and malicious at once leads to mood uncertainty in the viewer and challenges the way most films are created; in a generic reproduction of this plot the kids would have exemplified innocence whereas here the elements of good and bad are difficult to discern. This coupled with the constant augmentation and shifting emphasis in the drawing style conveys a feeling of dark illusion and moral fog throughout the entire movie.

In addition to all this, your choice of music is impeccable, with a slightly different taste this whole thing could have come off as either trash or cheese. I really do applaud you on picking exactly what was necessary for each scene. The only snag was when you transitioned from the music as the children fall down the tunnel to the lab music; that little bit was noticeably awkward.

I took off two points however because the plot is incredibly unsatisfying after the secret is discovered; it begins to resemble a hollywood sci-fi action plot which is totally uninteresting apart from your structural, symbolic, and design-oriented elements that remain present.

I may be totally over-estimating the goals of the flash, but whether I am or not, this still feels like a piece of art to me. I had one final question though: in an earlier reply you said that the girl's fate is revealed in the second half of the movie subtly, however, after watching that part of the video a couple of times I couldn't find anything alluding to this apart from two green spots on a far-away-shot of the arena, which could be her bow. Did I misinterpret your earlier comment somehow?

Dont realy a fan of you art but u get a 6/3
And why does everybody look so evil :S?

I would like to ask something with no intention of being offensive :) did you make the design of the characters kinda horrific ? i mean the whole project seems to me great...but the characters irritated me :) i mean the design :) dont get me wrong here you get a 5/5 10/10 :)
