Warning!
This is a slow going story of 13 minutes, so if you are into action, be warned!
The Gooberstory is a tribute to the peanut, and the story itself might be very hard to get. But those who have looked inside a peanut and found the little fishes, might be able to understand my message. But most people just think it is a weird yet beautiful tale and have no clue why the little fishes die and turn into peanuts. The film is also a tribute to life, death and all that surrounds us. That everything, no matter how small or insignificant, has a story to tell.

Awesome job dude, stunning visuals and while a few of the scenes were a tad long, it all worked towards something. Beautiful production and a nice story. The only fault was at the part where the deers were herding and one disappeared but great work mate.

"The cycle of life"

date: January 27, 2008

This story seems like it's about the beauty of circle of life. How life ends in death, but that where is death, comes more life. I like the little twist with the peanuts too. If you think about life and death in purely scientific terms, when one thing dies, it decomposes, and it nurishes the life of another, helping the other to continue to live. So, in a way, you could say that the body of the fishes nourishes the life of the peanut. You show it in a symbolic way. I like your artistic style too, how not all the animals have correct anatomy (would that be called stylized?), but that the plants are all very realistic. I loved how you had the butterfly that for a moment looked like it was the flower. That could almost be symbolic as well, for both the eventual fate of the butterfly (perhaps the body of the butterfly will come to nourish the flower), and for the similarities in life. Your animation is stunning, your music breathtaking, and the message absolutely beautiful.

"Too great for words"

date: January 6, 2008

This must have been the most fantastic flash movie that I have ever seen....
With great animation, long-lasting scenes (which I really love..), but most of all, this must be one of the greatest examples of the never failing 'circle of life'. It was a great ending, but strangely enough, not very sad.. for the cute little fishes are reborn...

Was the music specially created for this submission? Cause it fitted perfectly to the story.. Apart from being just background music, and never coming to the front, it really gave this movie a lot 'extra'.

This movie really made me hold my breath for the full 13 minutes... definetly a favorite...
