I still think it's Neil's best
The song was snappy, the visual effects and image-mangling are hilarious but understated, and the theme of second sight (Bill Gates' blinking outer eyes, Old Tom's new eyes becoming French fries, the beady little eyes on Big Mouth Boy) makes it intriguing on a more abstract level. This was the animutation that probably inspired Seven Deadly Dwarfs the most and contributed to my need to have my movies match the music well.
I felt this one was lacking
Compared to the brilliance of some of the earlier animutations, I think this one definitely falls short. First off, one of the ways the other songs were so damn funny is that it was in a foreign language, and yet, snippets of the song had to be able to sound LIKE english...
This song might have had a few small parts like that, but you had to strain to listen to it... That detracted from my enjoyment of the piece..
Then we come to the previous reviewers comments... There's nothing wrong with following rules... It's just that much as he stated, most of the images weren't that funny... and as one friend of mine said, it was even a little scary...
I would be much more picky about which songs I used (if I had the time and inclination to try an animutation)... I should hope in the future you'll find many more funny songs to make fun of :)
A bit boring.
These things, whilst they may entertain a few fans of the genre, almost bore me for the most part.
The pictures you show may be mildly interesting the first time they are seen. Some may be mildly amusing (such as the Doom protagonist in a red dress). Some animations may raise a smile.
However, when these things are simply shown over and over, with maybe 7 seconds worth of new material in the whole movie, it all gets boring fast.
Almost ironic that a movie that would probably take pride in being 'crazy' turns out to be fairly predictable and keeps to such a rigid formula. Flashing pictures with the chins cut out, random misinterpretation of foreign lyrics, more pictures or animations introduced until we are presented with a seizure-causing background.
Craziness is good. Repeatedly showing a few supposedly crazy images or animations nearly ad infinitum is most certainly not.
WOOT! All my nya r belong to this!
Great job, but could you make a little thingum at the end with the lyrics on it so I can tell what he's saying?
laughing the whole time
Nya Nya Nya So-da now we can shreik at Europe!
