Beautiful, yet sad.
The story was nice enough, although the animation could use a little work. Other then that, it was a good effort on the part of the author. Nice like to see more of his work, and something more like this around the holidays. We all need soemthing to uplift ourselves in these cold, dar times we now live.
I guess jesus onthe cross counts for violence mark
gj... very good. the girl didnt have any expression....
Probably you're right :0 Thank you for review and have a happy holidays !
Good job
Very well done, a beautiful make, of a beautiful (all be it sad) story.
Great music, and nice puppet show, thats why it got 3 for humor. Once again a very good job.
ha ha :) I like your "Humor: 3" for a puppet show :D Glad you noticed it and mentioned in the review ! :D Merry Christmas !
I agree with you flying_dane
I'm also danish, and H.C Andersen is known all over the world, it was in time someone made a flash about one of his storys.
( Fedt at se noget dansk her på siden :D )
Thanks for review, buddy !
Top story
I had read it a while ago, but had all but completely forgotten it. Still I'm not sure what it is meant to symbolise, if anything. Maybe an allegory of how beauty can be found anywhere? Maybe a pointer to the many pointless deaths all around us?
Maybe intentionally vague to give us room to think? In any case, Christian-Anderson has done a wonderful job of creating a thought provoking tale.
It was nicely done although maybe not as well recreated as it could be, simply because of the standard of the graphics. However, the beauty of the story remains intact and it was obviously a labour of love.
I liked your eyes very much. The gradients were used really nicely and their over-shiny nature, as if they were constantly on the brink of tears suited the film well.
However, some of the drawings were slightly lacking - specially in the opening scene. I can understand you not animating the whole scene due to time constraints, but maybe a little more time spent on the drawing would have been better. The thing that most irked me was the were the inconsistencies in head shape. Also, some of the early motions (laughing, jingling bell) should have been a bit faster imo.
The stars would have looked better more dispersed throughout the sky and being mcs running for different lengths.
I really liked the font used and the title screen with the bell and such though.
In any case it's a great story, just not as well realised as it could have been.
story 8/10
your 'adaptation' work - 5/10
But you obviously have a lot of talent and potential! Keep at it and stay funky!

I just love reviews from other flash authors. They know how it works and what exactly you can make better in your cartoon. So, your constructive criticism helped me :) It would be a real pleasure for me to get reviews from you in my future flash movies :) And good luck with your website !
