I have just begun producing an animated web series based on the adventures of four Russian cosmonauts from the 1960s, who also happen to be a rock and roll band. This first episode introduces you to the main characters, and gives a hint at their first mission, which will be comming in Episode 2. Enjoy.
I personally didn't care for this. It didn't help that it was an infinite loop. That just always looks like something lazy. I guess the title is just the character's name. The animation wasn't bad. The jokes seemed a bit too obvious.
It needed to be longer as well. I am glad this was the first in a series. It doesn't work well as a stand alone cartoon. I'm pretty surprised this won Daily Feature. Yeah, it seems to be mostly forgotten now.
so-so
It was ok i suppose. not the best out there. but i think you could do alot better. keep trying!
Seemed a bit cut short
Your art was excellent. Nice, clean lines with excellent colours and smooth animation.
The lip synch was great as was the music and voice recording.
The back-plot seems great and if there was an episode 2 out yet, I'd have definitely watched it straight away.
My only real gripes were the lack of play/replay buttons and the fact the movie seems a bit cut short.
It would be nice to have a play button at the start and a re-play button at the end. These are things I really think every animation made in Flash should have.
The ending came as a slight bit of a shock to me, mainly because of the way the credits rolled right at the end.
Thinking about it, it's longer than many entries and it does set up the plot nicely, but I was just hoping I'd get to see the cosmonauts in action.
This could be a brilliant series (I'll definitely watch episode 2 when I see it up) but just now, it's a bit early to give this a higher mark.
((( REALY NICE CHARACTER SESIGNS )))
Cool characters they showd lots of detail, voice acting was superb, and decent animation gave it all a nice touch, the monkeys were funny, and there expresions, anyways good work, hope to see more...
MOVIE COMMENTARY: Funny, and nice art style...
~X~
Rrright...
This was a little funny but donchu think that's a bit racist or some'ng?
Well I'll see part 2 and I'll give my mind!
I assume you're talking about some of the things that the Colonel says in reference to Russians...
That character is an American Army colonel during the mid-1960s. He himself is meant to represent the feelings and fears of some Americans during the Cold War, the "space race", and the new age of rock and roll music.
Believe me, I thought about changing some of the lines before recording them, but no one that I talked to (including some people who are Russian) found it offensive, so it stayed.
Thanks for your concern.
