I don't know if i'm supposed to aroused or disturbed, so i give you 4 stars out of 5 out of sheer interest in the meaning of this, don't take this as a bad review at all. It's just that, i don't know how i actually feel about this. Either way, you got the "surprise the viewer" part right Next time maybe make it have a twist, instead of showing everything at first. But, anyway, I like it, hence my score to you.
Reviews for "World of a Civilised Duck"
Gerkinman responds:
I think the last thing I ever wanted to do was arouse someone, that said, if ducks float your boat than go nuts ha ha.
Dark vibes.
What would life be without them?
Gerkinman responds:
Life would be a lot more boring.
Nice job. Kinda wish it was longer tho cause it's a pretty cool concept.
Gerkinman responds:
Glad you liked it, I definitely could have expanded on it.
Whew, it's been a few Years since I wrote an actual Review on this Site, but here I go.
This Entry was fairly interesting. I watched my fair share of Animations in the "Noir" Genre and this was a decent one. It also parodied the blandness of Daily Routine quite nicely, which always fits this type of Animation.
I'll admit that I couldn't quite enjoy the Style of your little Movie here, but that depends on the Viewer's Taste, so I won't let this affect my rating. The Part that really bugged me though, was when the Chicken / Man Hybrid unleashed this... grotesque Scream. I thought it was too intense and it was honestly just gross at that Moment. I know what you meant with it, but the Scream made it too weird for me and just crossed a Line it should not have crossed.
Otherwise, it was a very good entry for a Noir loopdeloop. I see potential here, as an 8 Years NG Veteran ;). Most of those 8 Years were just lurking though. Lol.
Solid stuff. The David Firth influence was obvious, which is really not bad at all, because I love his work and wish that there was more like it out there.
On another note, I'm seeing a sort of witticism against animal cruelty, with the place of the humans and the animals reversed. Neat way to make someone more empathetic to that sort of thing.
