This is a project i started years ago, and after alot of hard work, i ended up setting it aside. The origonal storie included plenty of fighting, but i just never got to it all. While the storieline is very unfinished, there is plenty of animation in there. As you can see at the end of it all, there is a drastic change in art style, due to the fact that i tryed to pick the project up again at one point. Well, i hope you enjoyed it. i certainly enjoyed making it.

Good characters

Nice work on the characters allthough they could use abit more effort maybe more detailed muscles and body texture, also i thought the file was a tad large maybe lower it somehow, but with all that said it was good, nice work.

~X~

that was crap

the faces were ugly the muscles were out of proportion etc etc etc the best thing about the graphics was the trees

Hmmmm

This is really bad..

if u ever plan on doing aything and finishing, get someone to do the voices, because. the ones you did have, were terrible.

also, practice your drawing. and if you dont get good enough, team up with an artist and you do the writing.

the greatest animations, it takes a team to do.

It was not nearly so bad that i need another animator to it for me. You should really try it yourself some day. This was actually deacent graphics.

Good Job.

I see a LOT of effort went into this.. Previous reviewer pretty much covered everything.
The movie is very very slow; I'm sure that took you much more time to draw. Just make it quick and simple; I agree that you didn't need the waking up scene and perhaps not even the breakfast scene.. just cut right to the action!

Just put yourself in the viewer's eyes and decide what would be interesting and exciting, then decide what's not. It will save you tons of time on animating, and will lead to a much quicker, nicer flash.

Also, you had good 3-d feeling in there - although it was okay, I'm sure it took you lots more time to animate. It's not really nessesary; to cut out the tedious bits, it would be good to just not make those.

Sound was not so great. I can tell theyre flashkit.. I'm not so sure where all the pro flash artists get all their sound effects and stuff though. You could try the website FindSounds (Search Google). I hear they have pretty good sounds.

Overall, very good effort. Keep it up and don't give up!

Actualy i got most of the sounds form findsounds. I think most people make thier own. I intend on doing that for my next animations. Thanks for the input, i will take it all into consideration durring my next movie.

I can see the hard work

You had a lot of passion for this. You can tell.

I saw all the hard work you put into it and attention to detail.

I think the slide show at the beginning was particularly good.

If you do it right, you can get away with simple graphics, I wish more ng artists could see this and not beg for a 5 after putting a few squares that dance on the screen for 2 minutes.

The prelogue needed some subtitles, maybe dialogue, because it wasn't completly clear what was going on. Dont have to put alot. Just enough to clarify what's going on. Although you did a really good job with the pictures.

I think the problem was you got bogged down in too many details and the project was taking way too long to complete.

The way you were going it would end up being a 30 minute movie easily.

When you write the script and story board the movie out, you want to trim it out, cut down the details. Like at the beginning of the animation part, it wasnt necesary to see them get out of bed and then walk to the door and then sit down. I would have just shown them in bed then a voice saying time for breakfast, then cut to the kitchen where she is cooking and they come into eat.

Actually you probably didnt need the breakfast scene. You could have gone straight to him running in the woods practicing his arrows, and then what ever trouble was coming his way , show a scene of that.

That way you wont get lost in all the detail.

It jsut takes practice.

The art still needs a lot of polish, but I can see the care you put into it.

You need to study how things look, so they dont look "deformed". Get some art books and sketch, sketch, sketch.

Quality comes from quanity. Your not trying for a "master piece" each time. Just practice. LIke you would your letters when learning to write.

But I love all the small details you put in there. Bubbling pot, the swans.

Ect.

Keep it up, I think one day you will be a serious animator, or illustator at least.

You have a nack for it.

I would keep making this movie. Be great practice for you.

Practice your drawing and get help with the technical details. The sound cut in and out on the animation part for the voices. You need to do all voices or all subtitles. I dont know if you tried to do all voices and the file got bugged or what but cant do some and then not others.

4/5 for the effort. I really liked it.

I hope you do more.

If you want help on the script, let me know. I'll be glad to help a budding Disney. ^_^
