MoonCounty responds:

Thanks bud. Good to know others share my sense of humor , haha.

Pretty comical a nice relief

it had a nice relaxing style, i suggest next time make a longer more in depth animation and you will be going somewhere like a smooth operator.

MoonCounty responds:

I plan on it! This actually started as more of a doodle, that i just kept adding to. It eventually got to the point where I decided i needed to show it to other people. I like changing up the styles, so perhaps the next one will look more detailed.

thanks for the review!

Surprising.

Looking at this short flash, I thought it was quite strange in regards to the plot. What looked like a man trying to save a senior turned into something a bit more grotesque. My first impressions was that the drawing style was quite cute, belying the upcoming events that would surprise you if you were not expecting it.

What I liked about this flash was the fact that the drawing style was so simple, and so fitting to the story- made to look comical. I especially loved the way you replaced the old mans eyes with 'X's to show he has been KO'ed, or dead. I also liked most of the upcoming plot, but there are illogical instances and other events that bring me to admit I didn't like it as well as I wanted to.

For one, Jerry puking all over the ground. Though it is meant to be comical, puking twice the amount of sick than the contents of your stomach really didn't make me laugh as much as I would have. Also, the illogical appearance of a puppy in the middle of the road, which doesn't seem to have a sense of self preservation. Innocence may be a factor, but it didn't freeze when it saw a fast moving object screaming toward it. All it did was tilt its head and stare with big eyes back.

I also did not like the driving sequence. Jerry was driving with his head turned away from the man. Even if it was a awful sight, isn't it logical to keep your eyes on the road? The armless socket was facing away from him as well. What I didn't get was that the old man would crash through the wind shield, as if it was paper, and how the other driver apparently missed seeing a bleeding old man in the middle of the road.

Overall, it's probably a bit too critical in contrast. I'm sorry if it seems harsh- It really is a fun flash to watch in spare time. But its not perfect, and realism doesn't seem like it exists in this flash.

MoonCounty responds:

I think the bulk of your problems came from the art style.. The perspective of Jerrys face, etc. He IS supposed to be looking at the road in the vehicle... its just the way the character was drawn.
Thanks for the comments and for the review!

very funny!

nice work friend, keep it coming

4/5

9/10

Thanks for watching and for the review!

Great and Simple...

Is the name of the game. Sometimes things don't have to get crazy to be entertaining, but this was just crazy enough. Nice work!

MoonCounty responds:

The snowball effect... guess i just sort of got carried away ;)
