not bad, needs work on timing

On the hole it was a good movie, but sometimes it moved very slowly. If you could have less pauses it would make it so much better. Don't get rid of them all, just most of them. I can wait for the rest of the story.

nice!

Very cool, can I help on the sequel?

The Talent Is Definitely There

I thought the artwork was excellent! Capt. Jack Sparrow's cartoony design was spot on and your set pieces were natural and great to look at. You also have a great sense of keeping your animation simple, but effective.

The elements that really kill this toon are the lack of comedic timing, pacing and sound. The key to humour is timing and none of the comedy in this piece works because there's absolutely no sense of good timing. The bit with the trap door could have been funny if you pared it down by more than half of its running length. The pacing is awfully slow both in storytelling and animation. Things take far too long to happen. Sound effects either happened or they didn't and it's hard to understand why you chose to fill certain areas with sound and then leave others blank. Sound effects throughout (coconuts hitting the rock, trap door being opened, squirrel chittering, etc.) would have added a bit more depth. The music also cuts out at the end before the credits role. A fade would have been perfect.

By looking at your artwork, you've definitely got excellent design skills. Your work may benefit from a collaborative effort. Find someone who understands humour and pace and either a) have them teach you the finer points or b) work on the next project together. I wish you the best of luck on your next cartoon because you've got great potential!

Has potential

You have set down a very good premise, too bad your pacing is waaay too slow. I did not get what's the trouble he's having with that trap door... you've made Jack Sparrow too much of a silly mofo.

Dude, where's my sound?

The beginning set me up for something sweet, but its turned out to be lame. The visuals are great, but there needs to be ambient ocean noises in the background. And you need sound effects. The pop up dialog is unnessary and I think it would be better if Jack just made some grunts or sighs here and there instead. With these additions this cartoon would be quite good. Please fix it and post a Pirates 1.5 or something.
