Reviews for "Goat Trip"
Graeme responds:
I'll have to show this review to my brother :D
He'll definately appreciate hearing it.
I originally drew the goat. He laughed just looking at it.
We were sitting, watching TV when he proposed I make a movie featuring him. I said he could make the idea, and that was the first one he pitched.
Let you in on a secret. I told him he can have the honors of planning the next one too. But I'm waiting for him to, in his words, "perfect the story"
Fantastic!
This is is an extremely random flash, and sometimes randomness can just turn into stupidness whithout a drop of humor in it, but you have pulled it off. I laughed at this flash alot, and i instantly added it to my favorite flashes. You should really make more flashes with the goat in it as he's hilarious.
Graphically it was a very simple flash, but the simpleness made it effective and funny. If it was more detailed or realistic it wouldnt have the same effect to the viewers. The abstract backrounds and normal backrounds all looked very good, especially the abstract ones, very trippy. Theres not much you can dore graphically to make this a better flash, fantasic.
The animation was very smooth and fitted the whole simple style of the movie, there wasnt much figure animation as alot of the cahracters, only thier legs move, but you dont seem to notice it while watching the movie as your too busy laughing your ass off. ;D
This movie i didnt know what to expect, would it be funny, serious, stupid? But this made me laugh more than flashes i expected to be funny, just the whole idea of a goat eating a mushroom and basically tripping out is hilarious. Not to mention when you showed whats actually happening in real life while he's tripping, side splitting. ;P
The music for the movie fitted perfectly with the whole idea behind it, getting high and freaking out basically. You couldnt of picked a better track as Tenacious D were perfect for this flash. SOund effects like the screaming and the goat jumping up and down on the bin were perfectly added. Nice work.
Overall i think this was a brilliant movie and i really hope you make more in the style of this. Absolutely brilliant. :D

Thanks for the great review, and place on your favorite :D
Glad you enjoyed it so much.
Simplisity is key to this movie. Too much, and it would have been distracting.
Props for the wonderful review

I bet u got the idea from Tenacious D but it was a god animated movie.
Graeme responds:
I have said that the idea of showing reality was from Tenacious D. That's why I used there song too. It kinda pays tribute to them that way.
Strange but funny
A strange, but funny movie.
The humor is obviously well done, i like the mario part most of all.
The idea is original, i didn't see stuff like this bedore, so it is full of originality.
The sound is good, a well choosed music and everything was smooth, the strange boy laugh, reminds on character.
The graphics of the characters are simple and nothing special, but the background is well worked, especially the flashy purple blue background part.
You have a few cons i already said, the character design and other even smaller.
In general it was good, original, with smooth sound and background, but still needs work on characters. That is why 9
Graeme responds:
Thanks for the review.
The boy's laugh was Nelson from the Simpsons.
The character were made to be simple. I wanted to imitate a MarcyVF style. It was a style I've always found pleasantly simple.
But for my next movie I'll definately explore new things.
A simple and amazing flash
Graphics/Animation: 9
Normally I expect a lot of detail and a lot of special effects and perfection with graphics and animation, but this flash was simply amazing. The goat was so simple in the way that it was drawn and the way that it moved, but everything ran completely smooth. A lot of the characters were sticklike figures, which normally would have lowered the score significantly, but again it was the way everything moved that gave this such a high score. I even enjoyed the siezure lights going on in the background because it really gave the viewer a good idea of what the goat was going through in the trippy world. There isn't much to improve here. The backgrounds were simple, but fit the characters perfectly so not much to do with those. All I can say really is add more detail, but if you don't want to...that's fine too because this was a damn good flash.
Audio: 9
All of the sound effects where exactly where they needed to be throughout the entire movie, and I can't even stress how extremely important that is. Even the music was absolutely perfect for the situation the goat was going through with being on a shroom trip. Really just a great job altogether in the Audio category of your flash. Really impressive. Keep up the good work!
Humor: 9
I was laughing as soon as I saw the goat eat the mushroom. Mainly because I saw "Goat Trip" as the title, but I didn't really know exactly what to expect. Everything the goat went through while it was trippy was hilarious. From the smiley sun all the way to it jumping on the dinosaur's back was absolutely hilarious. When it ended up in Mario Land and jumped off the pipe and you added the sound of a Mario jump I was laughing pretty hard also. Great job with the ending and goat being on the guy's back...very funny ending. I really enjoyed what you did with this one!
Originality: 10
To be honest, I don't think I've ever really seen a goat as the main character in a flash. I've seen the RAB and flashes including cows, penguins, and everything else, but I've never seen a goat. If I've never seen a goat then I've never seen a goat tripping on shrooms haha. This was just a great idea, and I really think you should keep up the good work with original ideas. Chances are I'll check out your other flashes to see how original they are as well!
Overall: 10/10
I originally had this as a 9/10 score but sometimes you just have to push things to where they belong. You had a lot of great ideas with this movie, and it was something that really impressed me all around. It may have been simple in many ways, as I've stated constantly throughout this entire movie, but it really packed a punch when it came to the viewing experience. I'm really looking forward to seeing more from you soon!

Thank you SO MUCH!
That was such an amazing review! It actually touched me in a way, reading all of your positive feedback! Every aspect of your review was broken down, and detailed.
As an animator, it means a lot to hear these things. I can't express how much it means to me to hear your kind words.
Thank you!!
