Score: 9
"An excellent movie!"
date: June 19, 2008
First off, let me commend you on the artwork. McDarnold's and the doctor's office was neatly designed in a realistic style, which was really nice. The animated water coming out of the pipe would be pretty hard to pull off. It was a nice display of realistic water movement, and I was really impressed by it. I also enjoyed the distinct style you took on with these three main characters. Simplistic, but very original.
Your animation is also pretty smooth, as well. The lip syncing was both fluent, and accurate enough. Also, the transitioning of facial expressions of Nicholas during the conversation between him and Charles about the burger was smooth, realistic, and suitable in this animation.
The humor was also good, too. The whole McDonald's-food-is-filthy-junk-that-i s-not-fit-for-human-consumption premise of this movie was displayed excellently. I found the childish doctor's view of Charles' death hilarious as well. Then there was the discussion about the analyzed burger. Charles' witty remarks were probably the funniest thing about this video.
-----------
Rat feces? "Just a little rat problem."
Rat poison? "If they didn't poison the rats, then there would be more poop"
A dead rat? "That proves that the poison's working"
-----------
That was a really nice part of the movie.
The only problem with the flash is that the voice acting was a little weak. Though some of the characters were portrayed well, when a character was shouting, such as the employee of McDarnolds, you seemed to yell, but you were kind of holding back when you recorded it. It seemed muffled, as if you were trying to shout in a library.
Despite a bit of weak voice acting, it was a smooth animation with great realistic artwork and original, creative characters, and good for a quick laugh, too. It's sad there isn't a part two, but this is capable of being a standalone short for anyone to enjoy.
Well done. 9/10 and 5/5 goes to this movie.
