Reviews for "Friendship."
funkycaveman responds:
Less than 48 hours! We are pleased that you enjoyed the animation. Thank you for the review.
to answer the newgrounds sage
the boy was with another friend. most likely either he told his friend he was staying there or he went on his way, leaving the boy to look for his friend until eventually giving up and going home, never to see him again. the crow befriended the boy because he was going to die. and had saw the kindness in the boy to go with him, and in turn befriend him. as to what caused the crow its wound. THAT is either left to our. the viewers imagination to the point where...maybe something attacked it, it fell. common sense is used sometimes for these things. yes there could be completely different answers but some things the maker shouldnt have to explain and i do find it rather sad you voted a bit lower than you should have for unanswered questions that were rather OBVIOUS.
and for your final question, why it turned? it could be possible the crow got some sort of disease over the years like most animals do, going feral or rabies or something, although i think it might have been deeper than that those are the only answers i can think of that i'm sure enough to say aloud right now, THAT is the sort of question only the artist him/herself knows the answer to. but the crow showing signs of remorse and guilt afterwards as long as its seen in crying eyes it must have been some sort of ailment beyond control of the crow. or maybe seeing the fire the crow knew they'd both die and it wanted to kill the boy making a quick death for his only friend. as the crow dies slowly in the fire.
NOW FOR MY REVIEW
i found it really good, entertaining, and sad at the end. the story had drawn me into it very well.
funkycaveman responds:
There are many changes we would have liked to make to the story, but they didn't all make it in. It is really up to you what you think happens in the end. Could the crow be a demon or could it be as simple as a disease, maybe the crow was suffering from depression? Your choice...
Well.
Unfortunately it seems Newgrounds is unable to appreciate anything which doesn't have a cock joke or racism in it.
It's actually pretty dissapointing, to all the morons who are unable to read the description, this was made in 48 hours, for the movie jam competition. I regret posting this animations here because it seems that the vast majority of you are quite simply retarded, I suppose that's come to expect when Newgrounds is just filled with 12-18 year olds who can't animate, have no creativity and no ability to do, well just about anything. We know ourselves, this isn't the best work we can produce, but for 48 hours work, we did pretty fucking well. Really find some of you quite simply arrogent and up your own arse.
48 hours, with next to no sleep, for this and 90% of you are to moronic to understand it, greeaaat.
funkycaveman responds:
Newgrounds will put off a lot of serious animators if users flame submissions that don't have a penis or pair of tits in. Yes the description is long, but to skim it will take 30 seconds which is about 1/8 of the time of the animation, and you will get a lot more enjoyment by doing this. Yes you have to be slightly educated to understand the story, but in the end we wanted YOU to make up your own mind about what happens. Too many times you are given boring animations that are simple in terms of plot development and are full of common stereotypes. Now we know and for anyone else reading this, if you make an animation, don't leave anything up to the viewer, the majority of people reviewing this flash ask questions that want to be answered, this is because they want more information to spam their minds because they are not creative to think of anything by themselves. They basically want everything handed to them on a plate. Yes I can agree the story may have some plot holes in but the writer did not spend days reading over the story ensuring that everything was in place, if everything seems right it should work. No flash submission is perfect but you still rate them 10. If you enjoyed the flash, by all means rate it 10 but please don't rate lower just because you do not understand. Also I'm not saying that you should rate this a 10, compare it with all the other movie jam submissions (they can be found in the collection) and base all your opinions against them, not with other animations which may have taken years to finally produce. If this is TL;DR you are the type of people I am talking about.
why the tears?
hey i liked the flash and i didnt think the story had any flaws..except!
except why did the crow had tears in his eyes at the end..was he sad he had to kill him or was he just sad he couldnt have had more fun with the boy before killing him?
Love it anyways =)
animation is slow other than that its good.
