"Didn't really appeal to me..."
date: April 18, 2009
Let's start off by saying that this was not the song's fault. I don't mind that song at all.
I will admit that I'm not a sonic fan. However, it still seemed kind of jarring when you try to put a love story into a blob of pixels. Most of the emotion struck me as kind of... over the top, I guess. I'm not saying that emotional sequences can't be done in sprite movies, but it wasn't done well here, in my opinion. But then again, emotion isn't the easiest thing to show in a sprite movie.
Animation couldn't really be faulted, it was quite smooth. Although, I also admit I didn't like the way that the surprised/hurt animation was used even while they were lying on the ground. Although, perhaps you didn't have any choice in that regard. I don't know.
