Reviews for Alfred's StoryofChristmas

[El-Cid]

Excellent

That was really good. The animation itself is rough, but the expressions, posing, and ideas are all solid. And this whole thing was fucking funny. I like how you started fudging the Bible stories with fairy tales and Christmas stories.

You could have a much broader following if you wanted to. At this point, you're off the deep end, and to be honest, that fascinates me to no end, but I love seeing that you're capable of universally appealing entertainment. This was especially true with "Alfred Gets Fixed."

I for one would like to see more content like this from you, but above all else be true to yourself as an artist.

Kudos.

I like it

It was funny, random, etc. However I prefer when Alfred is mentally ill. Its like watching someones acid trip.

Why are you playing all the characters?

This was a real treat and I am glad I have gotten more familiar with you and your work. It was different than the other stuff, which was just pure insanity. That isn't this didn't work well in being completely over the top, as it did. You were really cooking with gas when you put a bunch of Bible stories together and then added the fairy tales to them. I also liked all of God's guests and the brief use of the "Numa Numa" song. That joke about the ghost of Bob Marley was actually done by a website called Spill.com, which you may not have heard of.

good job

its probably just my sick sense of humor but that was hilarious, true is wasn't as insane as most of the others, but you said it wouldn't be....heh heh heh, "STOP INTERRUPTING MY STORY!"

I don't understand why some people hate this. I get that Alfred's later characterization was more enjoyable and insane, but people need to consider that the original draft of a character, more often than not, will have a few differences to the final draft. It is more subdued, but this was long before you found your footing. And besides that, if I were to give AA a timeline, I'd say this could take place before the popsicle incident, when Alfred was only minorly disturbed, but utterly blissful and happy. Simply put, true insanity grows and festers over time. I like both Alfreds, and it is kind of humorous how Phat Dog and Alfred interact, but I guess Phat Dog needed to be cut out so Alfred's later feelings of loneliness could be justified. But I do have a theory that Phat Dog isn't real, and instead represents Alfred's last shreds of logical and moral thinking, the only thing that was keeping him relatively sane, which explains why he only appears in the early animations, because after the popsicle incident and Labby taking over his life, Alfred lost every shred of decency in his mind and soul, causing a big psychological downfall.
