clever but lacking
awesome idea, awesomely done
it could have flown a little smoother and the voice could have been a little more excited and a little less southern.
otherwise it would have been perfect and hilarious
Reviews for "Wacky Pod Races"
Keep on rolling
I see you stuck to the classic.
It has been a while since I saw Wacky Races. Ture, the series wasn't that good or that bad. When I saw the title I felt "Hey! It's still alive!". The idea of a crossover is great! If not to say amazing! The animation was... Fluent. Too fluent even. At some points there were just too many frames and it all seemed a bit too slow. Music? WHAT MUSIC!? The background music should give it a feel of a race not a slow death by suffocation. But that can be easily fixed. Pleny Star Wars music out there. Non the less, the cartoon needs more whacky powers and character flaws. What for? Imagine, han solo flying by the droids and trying to seduce them with his "grat" looks. Roger roger :P . Jokes, explosions, some random stuff! Maybe even guest stars such as "darth vader in his death star pod" getting shot in the "vunerable" spot ;). I know that the original was ment for kids but hey, take it one step further (not too far though ). Bring in the new stuff. Let's not be kliche. Non the less I am amazed that some one thought of such an idea and took the time to make it. Big plus. Final word? GIMME MORE! :)
All that time really paid off
An excellent piece of work. This is definitely a great show to watch for the next 6-7? minutes. It's good, it's clean, and it's fun. It definitely spoofs both properties well.
i dunno what else to say.
It did seem to drag
but so did the wacky racers cartoon. All in all I liked it.
Hmmm
When I started watching I thought, "wow, that's a really neat crossover idea, I like it!" and the animation was pretty good too... but I have to say, it just absolutely bored me to tears. I forced myself to watch the whole thing to see if something really good was coming up, but it just didn't do it for me.
Granted, the original Wacky Races cartoons never excited me all that much, but I still enjoyed them to some degree. I really wish I knew what to tell you in suggestions for how to make this better, but all I can think of is that the whole thing just seemed to drag. I think the voices really pulled it down, there was not enough expression and enthusiasm. It sounded like whoever did the voices was pretty bored about it all too... I dunno... you've got a good thing going for concepts and animation though, so keep it up!
StuffAnimation responds:
The animation fits in with the original Wacky Races cartoon. We could have made it a lot more modern, but then it wouldn't have felt like a Wacky Races cartoon. We sort of locked ourselves into that.
It's fair enough that you didn't like it, obviously not everyone will. But hopefully you'll like our next effort. It'll be completely different.
