I'm quite dissapointed
It was too random to be funny. I prefered the other blockhead episodes over this. The graphics were really nice though, just work on, well, the humor, which was funny at parts, but needs work.
Good try, I guess?
Reviews for "TMNT: REBEL 5"
Awesome animation
Unfortunately the writing killed it. By the accents your from another country obiously. The humor just didnt translate. The only part that was funny was they were watching bambi and when the antena got knocked off, he said they killed Bambi. And Blockhead's part of coarse. Hes in character.
To pull off even "random" humor. You have to anchor it in reality. What makes Blockhead work is he has as straight guy and characters that act like normal people and a story that sets up a nice stage. Then when block head starts his stuff, its funny. You need to have a floor to bounce off for the jokes to work.
You just jump in there and start doing anything, its not funny, because its not achored in reality.
Even if its a bunch of shorts, each one needs to make its own "sence' of sorts.
me thinks the high score was for the graphics, more than the writing.
not bad, however alterations can be made...
While I think the animation in this short is pretty slick, I found it as a whole rather annoying. I don't know if it was the completely out-of-place classical music, the kind of stupid voices, or the complete randomness that set me off. Yes, yes, I KNOW it said in the beginning that it would be random, but there is good random (for instance, in forehead shavecut, also on ng) and poor random, like this. The trick is to make your randomness appear to be on purpose and somewhat organised, rather than appearing unable to keep to a storyline, or else simply lazy.
A few things, like getting rid of the classical music, or perhaps using blockhead for more than simply star appeal (or not using him at all) would greatly improve this animation. In future animations, try to keep away from having people repeat themselves "hey guys-look- its really shiny-look-hey guys" and saying COMPLETELY stupid things (ooleeeoeoeleo?)
overall, this has some possibly good material "I forgot how to walk" that wasn't quite properly developed, but isn't all that bad despite it's flaws. Gets a 3
PS: I must confess to being disappointed that blockhead didn't cause a single death, or at least completely wierd them out.
Best combination of two shows ever!!!!
TMNT meets Ren and Stimpy!!!! PLUS FUCKING SWEARING HOO-FUCKING-RAY!!!
Garbage
I'll give you a 9 for graphics because the animation is pretty good but other than that it was awful. Blockhead is hilarious and like the guy said a few reviews before me...how could he have agreed to this unless money or torture were involved?
I think the only good reviews in the humor department you're getting are from all the pre-teens who think the glimpse of an ass is funny. I'm sorry, but seeing how well you can draw just makes me sad that the humor is so awful and lacking in anything that even resembles funny.
