Reviews for "the special present"

i dont get it

I was really expecting more from this. but i guess it was ok. Certainly didn't deserve 10's geez, save those for the amazing works, will yah everyone? lol

-1 no story ( or rather no middle to explain the ending )
-1 randomness makes for confusion. Random events or people can be slipped in but really, they are usually sight gags that are connected with the story
-1 nothing to emotionally connect the viewer with the work. That is the hallmark of a good short, movie, film, commercial..etc. It just leaves the viewers scratching their heads.
-1 wtf is that thing in the box? No explanation at all. no funny thing happening. (perhaps make it come alive and sing a little ditty? then that would have been fun and disturbing at the same time..a nice cheery little xmas song yaaaay! )

so that makes -4 from 10 -6/10
That's overall score

for the sidebar rating, i give a 4/5 since it was a smooth animation and didn't glitch anywhere, so that's solid. Didn't care much for the character design, but that's irrelevant

so good work!

turtleco responds:

I believe that character design is hugely relevent, if you don't like the character design. Don't just ignore it, add/lower the score based on the character.

also

I think that everyone keeps asking me to do something THEIR WAY for the ending. I think its better to end with an open ending so people can just interpret themselves, saves me time and a lot of complaints of how it could've ended.

and really, even if I had more time, I doubt I'd change the ending.

???????????????????????

I liked it but the end made no sense.

turtleco responds:

yeah... the ending is a bit of a stretch...

I like it

I'm not sure what that was supposed to mean, but I like the fact that this is open-ended. The animation was smooth and I like his pajamas. Good music choice as well! All in all, a great flash that leaves watchers to interpret it in many ways.

turtleco responds:

I'm glad you liked the open-endedness of the ending, most people didn't appreciate it like you did

I liked it!

Finally, something that does not stink on NG it has good sound and animation!Good job! -Isabelrocks53569

turtleco responds:
