Really good! Loved the ending. XD
I really liked it! It was interesting seeing the whole world as cardboard. I especially liked the ending after the credits. :P
Reviews for "Cardboard City"
MorrowDays responds:
haha, yay
Cool and interesting effects dude!
I really liked how you all managed to capture the feel of the city.
Very very Unique
MorrowDays responds:
thanks! thats what we were hoping for.
Pure Brilliance.
Wow, when I read the reviews to this, I wasn't expecting much of a movie, but it occured to me after I watched it that people really just don't get it.
This movie is a perfect example of artistic expression in art meshing with artistic expression in music. The contrast between jazz, music that really has no shape until it is played, with the rigid, unchanging form of cardboard really pulls in the viewer on a very subtle level. It makes them unconsciously hooked onto the movie, and thats why even if they found it "boring" they watched the whole way through.
The animation was great in every piece, and especially on the subway scenes. The feeling of movement was conveyed wonderfully with the speed being more than adequate, and the bland characters each having their own persona even though they did nothing. Thats where I realized how much of a wonderful artist all of you were. If you can convey the sense of being in a living, breathing environment like that, then you truly can claim to be a "flash artist."
The world just reverberated with life, and made me want to visit it. And its very rare that a flash movie moves me to react emotionally. I really felt as if I were part of a city, and as I said, wanted to go there.
Everything about it was brilliant, and just I am so very impressed. The pacing was another highlight of the movie. Some may find it "slow", but what they don't realize is that its showing you the main points of the city while keeping the tone that the music so wonderfully lays out. Most movies try to either force the tone of the music, or just let it fade away into background noise. All of you on the otherhand nailed it perfectly.
I really cannot give this movie enough praise, as it deserves to be in the top ten movies of Newgrounds. Not only is it innovative, artistic, and all around believable, its just the epitome of a grand flash movie.
My score is obviously a five out of five, and rightfully deserved. This is truly a high-water mark for flash movies, and every author should strive for excellence like this.
Oh and on a side note, great game at the begging, my highscore was 11,693 XD.
Once again, great movie, and I really expect to see more whenever you submit, as Im positive it will be jsut as good or better.

MorrowDays responds:
oh I love you Shadow-Fox-Ninja :)
I remember you reviewed a lot of my early stuff and really liked it too, its nice to hear from you!
music is the mortar if animation is the stone, in the great brick wall of flash :) both are needed, technically you could stack bricks on top of each other, but it would be very likely to fall down, and on the other hand, you could make a wall mostly out of mortar, with a few rocks here and there, but it would probably crack, and no one wants that.
Im glad you thought our wall was well balanced. :)

i really like it
makes me want to experiment with textures now! eventually i will make a cardboard cartoon and it will be because of this awesome collab.
MorrowDays responds:
I'll be watching for it! good luck! :D
Pretty good.
I'd say that it was pretty boring, but then I'd be lying.
I knew something was going to happen that would be the exact opposite of what it was, so I waited after the credits.
Then that guy: Oh I'm just sitting here on my hot air balloBWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAA!
Oh, that was clever.
