A 'thumbs width away' from going in my favourites.

Very good flash but could improve. If you redo this or make a version 2 i would recomend making a credits and a replay button. Also make a slightly better ending. I thought that it was at the peak of its performance and you shouldve let it go down a bit but because you didn't i was her waiting for more, hoping the new play button was a joke. I think you shouldn't have been so quick with the ending. Anyway a very good flash and would love to see more of you.
If you had added a replay button and/or a better ending this wouldve gone into my favourites so consider that you have done really well.

not blammed

this was a good movie and its not getting blammed. it had action, suspence, comedy, uh...sadness... ... ...It was quite a movie.
the only thing it needs work on is the part right before he
take-the-law-into-his-own-hand -ed and assaulted those kids. it paused and waited for a little longer than i think it should have but still a great movie.

Thanks for that.

I could understand why he was sad, but even cowgirls get the blues.

Great work

Well done. Congratulations on a great submission i could tell it took allot of time an effort. Graphics are well above par. The sound was of good quality and appropriate for the entry. It had a great story line and it was the first entry all day that i actually wanted to watch to the end. I'll be sure to look out for more.

Different, and a lot to like

The beginning was my favorite part, the teacher in class talking while the student wistfully looks through the window at a beautiful scene outdoors. Great looking animation on the student there, and the window scene, brought back some memories, and the music went well with that. Other parts of your graphics seemed lazy though, the graphics in some parts were way better than others. The movie developed slow, and I did not like the whole big thumb device. I didn't find it necessary, or necessary to have it so big. I like the idea though, the kid who doesn't fit in wanting to go against the game with his big thumb making him win for once since I get the impression he is picked right away a lot. The bug bit was again a good idea highlighing the different yet sensitive side of the kid, the sadness and fragility of things around him. His lack of ability to protect things, but the graphics were a lot worse in that scence. You don't need amazing graphics but good enough to be not noticeable. You had better graphics at other points, so just put your best graphical work into every scence. The final scene, connecting the big thumb with the hero, and the kid breaking out his shell to do the right thing again suffered from bad graphics. I like the concept though, making a more sort of serious movie, with messages, emotions, and growth isn't easy or done enough on NG. Look forward to more.
