I thought for sure that Ring around the Rosie would be included in here as it was about the Black Death
Reviews for "Nursery Rhymes of Death"
True. But, what about Kid's books? They're even worse! Have you heard of the children's book, "The Thingamajigs" or "Rikki-Tikki-Tabey?"
WTF?
I thought that the idea was really good, and the music itself was fairly good as well. I can't say too much about the animation, as I know next to nothing about it, but it was fine. I think, however, you could have picked the songs more carefully. Humpty Dumpty I can understand, and 5 little ducks up to a point, but for the second and third songs... what you had animated wasn't even implied in the songs. You could have picked ones that actually have the implied violence/gore/whatever. Ring around the Rosie, for example is apparently about the Black Plague. You could have had multitudes of people dying there if you wanted. Rock-a-bye baby falls out of a tree, Little Baby Bunting gets wrapped in a rabbit skin, that kind of thing.
Again, great idea, but you could have picked better nursery rhymes for your animation.
Is it wrong to say that I don't get the joke at all? I know that it was supposed to be nursery rhymes with a horror twist but I just felt like it was half-assed. Sure I liked the idea but there has been better ones before. 2/5 for trying.
