[Edit] I forgot to credit cornandbeans because I used a sample of {Rose} Remastered in this flash. Yes, I did, it's hard to find, but it is in there. I'll give you 5 points and an e-cookie if you can tell me whereabouts in the flash I sampled the song. Lawl >:D

[Edit 2] Thanks, TomFulp, for the add to the Valentine's Collection. :D
That made me happy. <3

First off, I'd like to say that this is my first animation that I'm submitting to newgrounds. I'm not terribly good, but I think this is alright, considering the time frame I put this together in. The style and plot is very much inspired by Dan Paladin's PEACETANK animation, but this is nowhere near as good as his. Also, the inspiration for the loveblimp character came from SolusLune's music in the Continue the Song Game collab, which started in the audio forum and is now progressing into an audio/flash collaboration. I had to animate SolusLunes audio, and the "loveblimp" cruised through the background. My part in that collab will be much neater and nicer to lookat than this, but I thought, what the hell, a valentines day animation about a blimp sounds alright. So, a thank you goes out to SolusLunes, Dan Paladin, Rig, SolidElectro (and everyone else from the CTSG collab). I used 3 songs here, "Montagues and Capulets" by Prokofiev (no, he's not from Newgrounds, lol), that's the classical song, Stardust Crazy, by Rig, vocals by Natty Miller, that's the second song used in the animation, and my own song, Last Days of Summer, about a 1 1/2 minute demo not on newgrounds yet (I'll be posting it on February the 29th).
Uhh, I think that's everything, so, I hope you enjoy it, and I hope it passes judgement.

Cheers.

"Good vibrations."

That was pretty cool.

Simple plot, but nice vibes. Also, the graphics for the smiling blimps and the end song pretty much make it.

The graphics near the start leave something to be desired. The words could have been better decorated - maybe having 3d-style block letters or something for 'love' etc and more angular letters for 'war' etc.

The bomb could have used some shading and the frame for when the green blimp drops his cigar could have been better.

Also, the blurry rainbow doesn't fit in brilliantly with the crisp vectors in my opinion.

Your smiling faces rock though, the hearts-as-smoketrails are awesome and the song is brilliant.

Makes me smile, despite slight graphical issues.

Yeah, it's not the best, but the style is simple and attractive, despite the flaws.

Maybe next year I could put more time and effort into a Loveblimp-2. LOL

"Cheerful and bright."

~!Good Points!~
-Cheerful, and very happy. Made my day.
- Funny.
-It was pretty good concerning graphics.

~?Improvements?~
- The drawing could be a little better.
- my computer started running slower during the "evil" blimp part. I think I kicked it on accident. ;)

Author's Response:

Thanks for the review. Yeah, the evil blimp part was done poorly, I just chucked heaps of the blimps in there, and it slowed right down...
Cheers.

"Great V-Day Movie"

by: Shanus
date: February 23, 2008

Awesome movie, with lots of cheer of the day it represents.

Graphically not the greatest but still a fun movie to watch, seemed to me to be quite like an e-card more than a movie, but the contrast between the two sections was quite funny. Maybe a little improvement on the drawing side wouldbe good. I also noticed that when there are loads of the "evil" plimps, my computer seemed to slow down, I think too many copies were ther, just tone that down a bit.

The audio was good though, nice selection. A funny story & overal a very nice flash, good job :D

Author's Response:

Yeah, I'll definitely make an effort to improve the drawing next time. Yeah, the evil blimps lagged for me too, I went way overboard with that =P
Thanks for the comments, they've been noted.
