Graphics - The body graphics could have been better. The pictures for the heads could have been sharper, many of them look like webcam snapshots.

Style - Joshua Bend, you are the only flash artist who has made decent NG parodies.

Sound - You just gotta love Weird Al. The audio was very crisp and the right volume.

Violence - None.

Interactivity - None.

Humor - Pretty funny.

Thanks for reading my review.

Is this your first submit? if so, let it be your last! it was so terrible i got scared. they barely moved, the ground and nearly everything els didn't have the slightest bit of detail. you got lazy! i bed you got forced to do this with all of your friends faces or something and you didn't wanna do it.
first of all
try giving people FINGURES! now a round ball fingureless palm or hand..
2nd, ppl have joints! USE THEM!
3rd, don't keep using the same pose for when something ELS revelant happens....
4th, less pictures of friends and things off the internet and more drawing
5th, people have lips.... THAT MOVE TO THE WORDS!, if you cant do that? don't do it at all....simple
6th, there was a discovery by someone, he called it creativity and he gave some of it away. I think you missed out.
7th, use the shapes on the side bar as guidance, not tools. fool!
8th, (woah, it was so bad i needed to go to 8 ?!) people walk, grass....GRASS... doors open within at LEAST 5 frames if being lazy,
and now i am just gonna pile it all up in a centans...
*inhail* needed better sound then just importing it that way, lots of faults with the arms and gaps all on them, ALL, when tacking pictures of peoples faces, get multiple ones for EMOTIONS AND NOT JUST DRAWING OVER THEM! *breath*
and now you know how to improve this movie and then some :P
have fun SUCKING at another thing you do very badly.

date: July 27, 2007

Firstly, this song was originally by Coolio, NOT BACKSTREET BOYS (You're thinking of the eBay Song).

Secondly, although it was a good effort, I thought you could have made a better effort with the animation. Whilst it was simple, it didn't really look that good and the mouthing was just repeating itself whenever something was sung. Still, I can't really complain seeing as I don't own Flash, but I have used it and I know what is capable with Flash, and while this was a decent attempt, it still could have been a lot better.
