I saw this joke in a book, and I suddenly had this urge to animate it. Sonofkirk did the voice, and later he helped with pretty much everything else :)

I hope you enjoy it!

"(title in work)"

date: July 28, 2009

It was almost too incredibly obvious to be predicted one might say! It was a slow moving flash, but presented nicely and seemed to be planned out well. The music went perfectly with the slow moving turtle and the beach setting. A simple, yet satisfying joke at the end, and overall enjoyable.

"Poor turtle..."

The joke reminds me a bit of Ice Age where that one mammoth thinks it's an opossum.

The walking sequence did look a bit strange. More like the turtle was floating instead of walking. A bit more work on that aspect is necessary, I think.
But other than that the graphics and animations looked nice.

Overall it's a pretty short flash with a good punchline.

"Decent joke"

Well, it's not quite what we expect to see, I'll grant you that. The animation was decent, though more attention could be paid to the walking for the tortoise and the drawing style could use a little more fine tweaking, just to smooth out a few lumps and bumps.

Perhaps a sequel could be employed in some sort of "road runner" style disaster flick, where the tortoise, in tribute to Wyle E. Coyote, tries increasingly more desperate methods of learning to fly.

Congratulations to Sonofkirk on his Voice Acting debut :P Very nice. Possibly a little more work, but you'll get there.

"I don't quite get the joke"

date: July 21, 2009

I think it has to do with the parrots/birds being the turtle's parents, but never mind.

The drawings themselves were okay, but I can tell *someone* was being lazy with the animation. It was largely motion tween with a looping mouth for when the parrot talks.

The music was alright (at least it seemed fitting to me), the voice was clear, and the joke wasn't that great... So I suppose the only real piece of advice there is for me to offer is to put more time into making everything- less motion tween and looping, please =)

OK, thanks. There was a bit of FBF, but not much..

~ Animation/Graphics ~

Decent all around. The artwork wasn't anything amazing, but it's good and I always kind of liked your style. Simple, but yet effective all around.

~ Story/Content ~

The joke was kind of funny. Not like LOL funny, but more like a heh funny. Good for a short laugh, but nothing too great. Thank you so much for putting the little sign in the middle of the flash which then took us to the turtle being on top of the tree. I was really hoping that you weren't going to make us sit through the whole thing. :P

~ Audio ~

I finally get to hear sonofkirk's voice. :3 Let's see here.

Omg... what the... OMG.. I'm going to be sick. *Throws up*

What kind of foul beast did you allow to do the voice acting? I hope that wasn't sonofkirk because now I won't be able to talk to him without throwing up all over the place. :(

Ha, I actually had heard his voice before. :P I actually trained him so perhaps I should be added as a sponsor to this flash. ;)

On a more serious note now the voice acting was alright. Speak up though sonofkirk. Make your voice clear. Other than that not too bad. The sound of the turtle falling was odd though. I didn't like it so much and I think that could have been done better.

The music that you picked went well with the animation. I wouldn't mind seeing it turned down a little bit and having some sound of the waves or some wind blowing like you would expect to hear next to water like that.

~ Overall ~

A decent short flash. Nothing too great (especially that voice), but not bad at all. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the review. I would definitely add you as sponsor, but there's a little problem: I don't want to :P
