Old school for sure
It was really... tv- show-y, if you know what I mean. Humor was kinda cheesy, but that's how I like it :P
Reviews for "Slick Nick - Private Dick"
a lovely breath of fresh air
What a nice comedy film. The sloppy drawing style and the very cornball tongue in cheek humor went together perfectly. It gave me that same kind of warm fuzzy feeling one gets from watching Tintin or Inspector Gadget or Mr.Magoo
The volume seemed to get out of whack sometimes though. As if the microphone was very far away from someone shouting at it.
Also good call on actually casting a kid to do a kid's voice. People should do that more often.
Slick Nick is quite a bumbling fool. I really hope you make more of these.
I think my sides split.
Ok, I'll say the negative first. It was very, very sloppy and the sound editing, quality, and mixing was subpar.
Still the script, the fact that the animation was simply fantastic (very weighted and loads of frame-by-frame goodness), and the overall premise made this endlessly enjoyable. All the voice acting was perfect, despite the recording quality being fairly shit. Those backgrounds were something else. Childish and unclean though they may be, the contrast between them and the cast made the characters stand out and the focus never left them.
This is probably one of the most enjoyable things I've seen here in a long time.

Thanks for the honest feedback! I think the audio issues are mostly just in this Newgrounds version. The .avi video versions on Youtube and Dailymotion are really a lot better to watch. The lowered audio quality was the only way I could make the video fit under 10mb.
haha

Finally, long cartoon!
