sorta disappointed
parodies are not parodies when this much of the animation is from some other movie. Though i have no way of saying for sure, I'm thinking that you took scenes from xiaoxiao no 3. This means you stole it then messed with it. Animate it yourself if you want to make a parody. Prove me wrong if you find a parody with more than 50% of someone elses animation.
Nice animation, but..
Kind of guessed the outcome right from the start. Yawn. Did you really need to portray a decent movie and it's author that way? I also heard how you used Eskimo Bob's character when his creator sfecifically told you that he 'rather not' let you use it. (Look on the Eskimo Bob collection page, folks.)
Ben, your animation is nice, and some of the 3d effects in a few of your movies made me say, 'cool', but I'm not sure about your logic. :) Answer me this: Would Eskimo Bob look cooler fully drawn? (I would imagine a completely bland cartoon if it was.) I hope Toma and Zhu kill Stick Slayer in at least one of their movies, that would be amusing since this parody thing seems to be O.K.
Just my two cents, be well. :)
Not a good movie: 2 reasons + Suggestions
Alright, the moral of this authors flash movie is that stick figures are evil, and that they require no artistic work or effort at all.
As the author has modestly said, he has raped XAIO XAIO No.3 of its first scene, and just relayed and slightly animated his "character" to do all the moves etc. This in and of itself is something that "require no artistic work or effort at all" This is number 1 reason to vote this down.
Additionally, the author heeds the audience for votes "to support the fight against stick figures". Remember all those 911 things? "Vote to show unity!" or remember back in the dark days of the portal the text only "fight against no talent flash animations" shows? This is just the same as this, only with some additional effort. Sound gets a 5 for voice over, which is quality, and animation gets a 4 for relay of figure and then barely motioned detailed scenes. Reason number 2 to vote this movie down: Fight dumb fighting animations.
Suggestions to author: Screw parodies, they are unoriginal, because they are based and reliant on another plot/movie/story. Never ever do that scene BS again, it is working against your position on hard art work. Forget the "vote for me to spread word against stick figures" and maybe shift to "vote for me for quality work and comedy, not for message at hand, and vote down laborless flash animations".
Thank you for reading, I voted *2*. Overall is 4 because 4/10=2/5=*2*
Ummmm have I ever once asked for votes in any of my movies? I don't think so.
Oh, and happy 12th birthday by the way!
its alright........
its still not better than xaio xaio. muahahahahahahahaMUAHAHAHAHAHA ..........MUAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA.
humorous knock on stick figure animation
Good job! I actually don't mind stick figure animation (I found xiao xiao cool, actually), but the artistic statement comes through loud and clear! The fact that you superimposed the Stick Slayer over the graphics doesn't make it "copying"; I think it makes for a better satire! Are there any new Stick Slayer cartoons in the works?
