I know this animation seems kind of simple, but the large file size is because it's long (sorry for the wait). I've left the extras and other features until the end of the movie. I hope it's better than the first movie I made. If you like this, I've got a sequel lined up, as soon as I can figure out how to get that tesseract to stop crashing Flash.
NOTE: The original file was 10.3 MB, which is only a little over 10MB, so to make it fit under the file size limit, I've reduced the audio quality from 24kbps to 16kbps. If you like this flash, then I may raise it back to 24kbps, if the staff would allow me to bypass the 10MB limit.
EDIT: Feature already. Thanks guys, it was much better than I expected.
EDIT: Scene selection added to the beginning, and most of the sound effects are now quieter.
If people are finding the movie too slow, it may be because your computer specs suck, or it simply runs better on flash player. Just download the .SWF and open it with flash player on your computer, and it should run faster.

umm...
Don't get me wrong, i liked the animation,
it just seems obvious that you got carried away...
I can see you put a lot of hard work in the making of this movie, but i think that instead of making it insanely and unnecessarily long, you should have made a shorter movie with better features.
Not too bad, tho; but not impressive enough to deserve that daily first award.
I bet you could do a much better story though, keep in mind that you don't want it to become boring, so if you get carried away again, release it in small bits so that it becomes more entertaining and less repetitive.
Anyway, good luck.

If its long it at least needs to be good.
Sure you can get away with putting little detail into everything and using simple animation by saying that the movie itself is long, but it was still just sooooo boring. The annoying (and I cant emphasize enough how annoying they were) sound effects and music that didnt quite seem to come in and go out when it should have made it even more frustrating to watch.
I cant even say I quite understand the plot that well either, I mean if he can just make dosens of Octahedrons out of thin air, why would he go allll that way in the beginning to get the first one he made back from a bird. It was just a really really pointless thing to have to watch and it would work so much better, if you plan on making anothers, if you actually come up with a decent story line that dosent lose half your viewers within the first 3 minuets.

Not so good.
I rarely bash on how bad I thought a movie was, and I don't necessarily plan on doing that now, but I didn't like a couple different aspects about it. First of all, I thought the transitions of sounds were really poorly done. I didn't like how you could hear air loudly rushing past them when they were on the cliff, to suddenly the wind becoming completely silent, and all you can hear is the sound of those bubbles (?). I also really didn't much understand the plot. Maybe it's because I didn't watch the whole thing, but in my opinion, if you're going to make a movie that long, please at least add some sort of plot, so we know if it's just starting or coming to a close. I agree with the one guy that it seems like you got a little carried away. It's almost like you just threw a bunch of random useless stuff in there, simply to take up more time. It was almost like you had some minimum requirement for the length of your movie, and you just put a bunch of filler stuff in it.
On the flip side, however, the animation was very well done, and the music fir the scenes very well, for the most part. Good job on that! :)

Well...
I always hate it when people give a flash a bad review and say they couldn't finish it. I watched the entire thing, and I have to say, I wasn't really impressed. The animation was purposefully simple, so I won't talk about that, but the sounds, the story, and the length were sub-par. The bubbling, as many people have said, seemed like it would never end. It was very annoying. The story was not interesting enough to last over ten minutes, and everything that happened lasted far longer than necessary. It was 'nothing too new or interesting', so I give you a 2/5 and a 4/10. However, I can see you have talent, so keep working and making flash. You'll find a winning formula soon.
