Awful.

This piece of shit is nothing more than a tweening disaster! Be less original when it comes to story lines! The only reason that I am giving any stars is the fire effect. If you are this terrible at making sprites, just download pre-made sprites! Work on the animation too.

Stiff,Really Bad

Fire effect was OK
Sprites Are Poor
Walking and jumping were animated badly
Stiff

christmas, too long! try next week.

not too bad... although it was rather short even for a trailer you didnt really get enough time to figure out what is happening but the animation wasnt as bad as some people are saying. i dont know if people are expecting a masterpeice but its pretty clear that this isent coming from krinkels! so whats with all the ones and twos

good effot tho il look forward too the full version.

Dude.

I turned off Jessica for that. I actually paused the greatest song in the known universe for that. As much as I really, REALLY like to inspire flash animators, as that stimulates their creative talents, I have to say that if i did that, I would not be stimulating any talent. None exists.

I'm not going to sit here and flame and bitch or anything like that. (Not pointing fingers, but that's what happens to poorly made movies a lot of the time.), but I AM going to suggest that you don't take a series as seriously as you seem to be doing here until you get at least a 3.5 per episode. Allow me to break my "grading scale" for newgrounds down for you. I like to think of a 5.0 as a 100, almost like a grade on a test. a 4.0 falls into the 80 range, while a 3.0 falls into the 60s. A 2.0 goes under the 40s, and a 1.0 falls into the low 20s. I don't know how other schools grade their papers, but in mine, that's a failing paper. Yours as a 2.6. In my grade books, that's a 50. That's a failing paper. (I sound like a fucking teacher.)

Now, i'm not going to beat around the bush when i tell you that you suck at animation. The truth hurts, and there's no easier way to say it, but I'm also going to add that everyone sucks when they begin animation. Look at me, or anyone else who has been doing it for some time. I suggest an assload of practice, and maybe a better storyline. No one wants to see christmas all year long.

Just give it time. You'll get better with practice.

Your animation style is very static. Ease movements as they come to a stop and give attention to the details. The red santa madness's foot for example did not adjust for his horizontal landing, but instead remained angled as it always then remains.
The drama and intensity from this trailer stems from its audio alone. Visually it was a letdown neutralising its build up.
Trailers give us something as to what to expect and there is much room for improvement in this.
I hope you blow us away with something spectacular in what this trailer is leading to.
