"Cool flash"

date: April 7, 2006

Wow, this was a pretty cool as flash. it's good to see people from other countries get more into flash. the only thing I would do differently is have subtitles in thee flash, it gets annoying to look back and forth.

Overall, great and very creative animation and a cool song! Keep up the good work

4/5

"Nicely done"

date: April 7, 2006

What got you points was the background art. I like it alot. It is most likely me but it didnt really bug me but it made me think. You were zoomed out the whole time of the cartoon. Like it showed everything to much. Its me I know it. Like you know how some cartoons show it zoomed in right next the face and what not? Well okay you dont get points taken off of it though. Its nicely done. Respond if you can. Thank You

"Fairly reasonable... should've been in English."

date: April 7, 2006

Reasonable work. Newgrounds being an English site (like most of the Internet...), it should have been submitted with English subtitles... this is the predominant negative point in an otherwise pretty good flash.

"NIce work!"

date: April 7, 2006

Very nice style. SHows that you care about your work. The colors were very well set, all in perfect harmony with eachother, nothign too drastic or dramatic, just right for the mood of your short. Too many people on NG makes crappy shorts and get good votes because they use some dated and lame or violent story, but you get good votes because you are actually good at what you do. You need to study some charcter animation. I'd suggest John K, creator of Ren and Stimpy, simply because he's brilliant. Your character deserves more "life" to it and less looped movements. Maybe think som more about the weight of the bear and how that goes in to it all. I jsut thought it needed some extra nice animation to go with your beautiful sets. Good work. Hope to see more.

Too bad that it´s in portuguese, I understood only about a 90% of the subtitles, since I speak spanish, but I liked this none the less, and has a very good message.

For those that want to know what was the deal here, the bear feels sad and lonely, and climbs to the three branch to jump off and kill himself, but then he see those birds hatching, and tried to help the one that couldn´t fly, he did not commited suicide because he had finally found a friend, wich is more than enough good reason to live.

by: DeanLo
date: April 8, 2006

i can sorta understand it but wow it's a lot more different from spanish than i had expected. thanks for the translations! i think the language sounds rather nice

wait i should be reviewing the video...

i think the music works pretty well with the theme of the video... but his epiphany (discovering the will to live again) could've been accompanied by a livelier melody. artwork was fantastic; simple yet effective. as for style... there could've been more to develope the bear. for some reason, even though it was going to commit suicide, i just didn't sympathize with it. i guess it's because i don't really think anything is ever that lonely for no apparent reason.

yea. that's all i've to say for constructive criticism. overall this was enjoyable because it made me think. 4

"???"

date: April 8, 2006

what F***ed up cheap rip off of latin was that?!?!

the simple fact that you couldnt translate it in the movie but translated it in the comments shows that you probably riped this from some poor depressed whatever the hell language that was speaking kid.

... ok then, after reading other comments, i have found the language to be french. But hey, french sucks to. so does english; i am not being hypocritical here... why the f*** is every rule of this damn language broken at some point. but from what i hear french is more f***ed up than english. apparently you can learn the rules easily in a few weeks and spend the rest of your life learning the exceptions to the rules. so french sucks more than english.

as a matter of fact, any non-phonetical language with an excessive amount of exceptions or complex rules SUCKS; so all languages SUCK!!! anyone that speaks a language SUCKS. the only people that dont suck are maybe ANCIENT GREEKS and PHOECIANS.

the movie itself kind of sucked to. its so pointless. the bear and the bird should be shot, raped, and then deficated upon. i feel no sympathy for the bear cuz hes quite obviously a loser anyways, and the bird is a victim of natural selection, it should recieve no sympathy as well.

i would love to rant more, but i might get off topic. mebe you should make a movie about religion so i can rant about how religion is a made up explination of your meaningless existance and...

The author of this submission has artistic talent at best but that it, you'd have to be a total fruitcake to even consider spending any ammount of time makeing this. Seariously folks DO NOT watch this movie. It reminds me of Brokeback- it's something really gay but it somehow makes front page anyway.

I have to agree with the other gut that was a lame flash. I wouldnt go as far to sat it was gay though. I think if the maker made somthing with more purpose & prehaps extra sounds then it would be a lot better.

I think this was a nice idea. It may have been confusing to those who speak english, but that's why you have that description! :)

It turned out nicely and in a pleasant manner.

The animation was very well, although it could have been better, although I don't have a very valid reason of criticising you of that, because I cannot do any better. It was still very clean animation though. I like the style a lot. Also, pretty smooth.

Nice work here, and I will congradulate you of your achievement of front page! Good for you! I'll also reward you with my 5.

The language is Portuguese i believe... correct? i love that language... for those of you who gave this a low score cuz you didn't understand it.. and i usually don't do this but... FUCK OFF. you don't know the language, you shouldn't be rating it. Go find something better to do, cuz in all truth, this flash was well made, and giving it a bad rating just cuz your not smart enough to at least follow the animation is just stupid.

I mean, honestly, i don't speak portuguese, i speak spanish, however i was able to pick up the gest of the story by the animation... sad, lonely, bear, has no purpose in life... finds a nest, helps a lil bird, gets sad when the bird falls, but happy when it gets up again. Bear is happy, finds purpose in his life. (a friend) the end. It infuriates me when people who don't speak any other language that english think we have to conform to ENGLISH, just because we live in America... pisses me off...

anyways, back on topic... very well made, keep up the good work!

I liked this movie a lot. I understand a bit of spanish, so the language wasn't a problem. The score was very nicely fitted to the film, and quite pretty.

I have to say however, a this is probably too mature a subject matter for much of the audience here, as evidenced by several of the preceding reviews.

Still, I really enjoyed this. Good work Lucas!

"Short, Sweet & Profound!"

date: April 9, 2006

Faultless animation and score combined with the serious theme make this a rare gem for NG. It's nice to see a simple, uplifting animation for a change.

My only criticism is that I don't believe the narration was necessary throughout. The reason for this is that the animation makes the theme and story perfectly clear.
The foreign language caused me to read the translation of the story first, which revealed the story leaving what seemed like no point in watching it. Luckily I did anyway and was pleasantly surprised at how well the story was undertaken.

The only line I thought was necessary was the final line, which was profound and beautiful:
"Loneliness is a deadly weapon, Even when there is no-one to pull the trigger."

Overall this was a very impressive addition to NG, kepp it up!

Any of you noobs seen the a with "a" tilde on it before in spanish? Hmm? Didn't think so. Good work, however.

For everyone english: I decided to worte the review in PORTUGUESE because it's the language spoken in the movie and, I guess, the author. Yes, that's right: NOT spanish, portuguese. Don't come saying you know it's spanish because it's not.... even though I din't read any reviews. :P If you want my review translated, it's something like this: "Great work!

date: April 12, 2006

I really liked this flash. I really loved how you wrote the words in a different language, however most of the NG users are American, and can not comprehend the language. Thus, you should have used English Subtitles.

The graphics were unbelievable. I really enjoyed the graphics of the bear, and especially the scenery. The frame rate was exceptional, even though all the frame rate was the bear doing different activities, however it still worked great.

The music was simple background music that was really fitting for the flash. I really liked it, but I was mainly focusing on the subtitles. I also think that it could have been a little bit better if someone were to voice act the words. It was still great though.

Overall, the flash was really amazing.
