I really liked the artwork, it was a great piece of animation. I only have 2 critiques. My attention was in the piece for the first 5 minutes, then at the 5 minute mark I was snapped out of it with the question of "Where is this going?". Second, at the end of the piece I'm left with the thought of "That was nice, but what was it about? What was the message?". You list in your comments that it is about overcoming fear, but the last few minutes don't leave me with a sense of that being the moral of the story.
Reviews for "Aqua HD"
Beautifully classy animation, wonderfully touching story, amazingally complimentary music. I generally loved this short film. bye god, you did a great job.
I loved it! This obviously took a really long time to make because of the style of animatings, and with all of the crazy, shaky camera views. I also enjoyed the plot, and the fact that it's really long. I enjoy long newgrounds films rather than short ones. The only thing that I didn't like about it was the loading bar. Normally I enjoy the pre-loader rather than the constant loader because it lags a lot less, and it's not as glitchy. This has got to be my favourite animation, and it took a lot of hard work and time, so I think you deserve 5 stars.
Very good. Loved everything about it, especially the ending, the subtle hint of the cat accepting and taking on the inevitable.
Very awesome animation. "Give a man a fish, you will feed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish, you will feed him for a lifetime."
