Reviews for "Stick Slayer vs Xiao Xiao"
All your bias are belong to us !!
I personally love Xiao Xiao, but it pain me to see so many Xiao Xiao fans reveiw this animation with such bias.
This is a very well done movie, despite whether you like Xiao Xiao or not.
The only real downside to this movie I found was it's best animated sequence was actually done by Zhu, where as Ben just added his non-stick figure character in place of Zhu's lead stick figure from Xiao Xiao 3.
Furthermore I admire Ben's bravado in poking fun at Zhu, despite how much he may be treading in dangerous water. It takes balls to deface such a talant.

I threw my own frame-by-frame into the second half but nobody ever notices it. :( But thanks for your fair review! It is much appreciated!
Let's see...
GRAPHICS: Hand drawn, good, good.
SOUND: Hilarous.
INTERACTIVITY: Doesn't need it.
STYLE: OK, so the second half was fun, but did he had to kill the sticks exactly the same way as in the original Xiao Xiao movie?
VIOLENCE: Second half.
HUMOR: Again, the second half.
You get 9. The first half was well done and stuff, but it wasn't a bit hilarious. The original Xiao Xiao movies are well done but they aren't fun. To tell you the truth, I hate the Xiao Xiao movies, because they aren't fun. The only good stick animations are the fun ones.
Crap
Nah. Its crap - basic replacement of a stick main character with some action hero who is most probably on steroids. The part that amuses me the most is the depiction of the Xiao Xiao animator as a geeky type person (which he may or may not be) while presumably this Stick Slayer animator is obviously much different, sleeping with supermodels every night and things like that.
Bah, it sucks. While Xiao Xiao 3 had thought put into it, you cut it short here and just replaced the main character. Animating a full figure *may* be harder if you were starting from scratch, but if you have the model of a stickman to begin with its much easier just to make the limbs go where they should.
Sorry, you get 0.

Watch the 2nd half moron
Cool
That was Pretty Damn cool and anyone who dumps on the art probably dosent realize how much harder it is to animate fully drawn charater than stick men
