Reviews for The Halloweenator

Nice, but slow...

Okay, so we've got a nice cartoon, which has quite a few Arnie jokes (Let's face it, he's quite easy to rip the piss out of now, isn't he?) It's been presented well, but the main issue that I have is the length of the pauses between dialogue was far too long - no kids would wait that long without interrupting, especially on Halowe'en, considering they're already on a sugar high.

When you panned the camer up Arnie's torso / face, you did it too slowly. I could physically see each line of additional graphics being added on and it would have made the slowest of viewers bored with the mammoth climb. Speeding that up is simple for a large dividend.

The punchline was well delivered - I just thought he was going to shoot them, so you get some plus points for a good well delivered gag there.

Your animation style is decent and your drawing is very good. How long did this take to make?

Thanks for your review.
It took me from October 7th - October 30th. I worked on it for about an hour each day.

Pretty cool.

Not a bad flash cartoon, for the most part well drawn and animated and some good Arnie jokes in there. You cant help but make fun of him.
The voice for Arnie was pretty good, but he walked like he was hobbling or something.

Im probably nit picking now but there were 2 things that annoyed me, firstly the way Arnies mouth moved when he talked, like it split at the top, secondly it was all really well drawn and animated except for the lamp in Arnies house, looked stuck in at the last minute. Other than that good flash!

Graphics - 8
Animation - 8
Sound - 8

Thanks for the review.
Indeed Arnold had a gap in his teeth. This was intentional to knock at his dental hygiene before he became a famous movie star. The backgrounds were the last things for me to work in. An interesting fact: that with the children's background is actually incomplete. If you look at the flash file, it's just a couple of colored shapes stacked around with a transparency over a big gaping whole in the center.

Nice

It seems a little slow in conversation, I think that was dragged out a bit too much, but the art and animation was really great and the voice acting was pretty solid too. The ending was funny and a bit unexpected, it was done well.

Good work.

Thanks for the review.
I agree with you (and many others) stating that the conversation was too slow throughout the animation. This was my first attempt at comedy, and I have learned now that proper timing is vital to keep people's attention and to get the joke across. It will be a little while before I attempt another comedy.

Nice

I liked it, a nice overall feel to it with a bit of humour aswell.

The graphics in the movie, were quite good. Smooth and fun to look at. Not a great fanof the movement of the "terminator" character though, a bit too basic tweening for my liking, but that's its only fault.

THe sounds was excellent, the terminator audio snipet was quite funny, and the voice acting was excellent, as you'd expect from the Voice Acting Club

OVerall the story was quite funny and everything else holds up well, a great movie :D

Good job

As WB said the conversation is quite slow, but still funny. The animation on the kids is great, and the big guy was good too. I liked the way this started. Great job.

Thanks for the review.
Actually I felt the animation on the children was really lacking; all they did was bob their heads when they talked.
