[Pico: the lost episode]

Funny

Like how this completely mimics the episode as well except for the last piece where he has an angry face on and just in boxers and a tight tee. Good little funny mimicry and homage to Spongebob and Pico day at the same time anyways.

Not sure title of the song but could probably figure it out if you just looked a little bit. The animation was quite solid and that is very nice to see as well. There is no plotline and it is only an endless tribute loop which is cool anyways.

Overall, I thought it was funny anyways. Nice work.

JetLong responds:

thank you

[Darnell's Beats]

Seems alright

Not the best submission of the day but I will give you credit for at least trying to make something related to Pico day. Now I await someone to do one on Nene which might not even happen sadly. Enjoyed how throughout the whole animation everything was shaky anyways.

The P-Bot body part was kind of out of touch with the tune if you were trying to make the angry faces change with the drum beat playing. Nice how you ended it with a link to the song playing which was good I think. Darnell seemed to be pretty chilled out here as well.

Overall, nicely done little vid.

YouriX responds:

Thank you it might not look like it. But i spend alot of time making this animation. I had so many ideas. I wish i started with the animation even earlier! But life got in the way, man i hate saying that all the time buts its true.

Anyways thanks for the review ;)

[Portal Hoppin']

Excellent piece

Is it me or did you just completely make me want to watch the Venture Brothers again? That is what the art and storyline style here seemed a lot like. Tom sounded a bit like Hank Venture too which was funny. Sad how Pico turned on Tom and the staff at the end even though they were simply running away from some flashes of some kind.

The animation was over the top here so that was an excellent thing the whole way. The voice action was nice and seemed close to the venture brothers too. Liked how Bob had a random bear and then Tom got shot in the ass by Pico, how sad. Then at the hospital he gets dynamite up the ass from Pico as well.

The choice of music used here was good and played with an excellent time as well. Funny how Stamper and Johnny never took anything serious the whole and the portal scene was also pretty funny when they entered different portal spots hiding out.

The storyline was excellent and I enjoyed it.

Overall, great collab for Pico Day. :D

[Pico vs. The Jocks]

Too short

I really enjoyed this piece except it was far too short and a lot of it was left out here too sadly. It would have been cool if you had done the whole thing rather than making us have to wait until next year sadly. I found this to be very nicely animated though.

Storyline is kind of short and the jocks just decide to beat up Pico for no reason at all which is kind of stupid since they hurt each other instead while Pico gets the better of them too. The voice acting at start was good anyways. The music was also good I suppose.

Overall, good but too short.

[Pico's Destiny]

Brilliance

This was a good thing celebrating Pico day and I found to be funny as well. Nicely done. This piece is kind of funny since Tom time travels to 1999 to screw with Pico and Casandra's heads a bit.

The animation and storyline was very here. The animation looks like it took a couple of weeks. The storyline was well thought out as well here. I enjoyed the voice acting, each person did well, would have been kind of cool if Casandra transformed before Darnell burned them to death.

Overall, good Pico Day tribute.

SurrealStage responds:

Thank you for your review and kind words! Transformation would have indeed been cool, now that you mention it. Perhaps if I participate another year I'll incorporate it.

[Pico in Wonderland]

Short and trippy

Nice little animation actually. No real plot aside from Pico falling into a pitfall and dying I guess. Wonder why Tankman was tripping as well. This actually went from an animation to an fbf to ending as a flash which seemed to be a nice little way of going with it anyways so that was nice as well.

The animation was really solid and cool looking even the trippy parts were cool looking. The music was nice and kind of makes you feel happy too. No real storyline aside from don't do drugs since they can lead you to your death.

Overall, nicely done.

[Mario slayer the return]

Decent

Although I don't watch too many sprite flashes since I don't see them often. I remember when users would work as large teams and put a lot of effort into making a great flash sprite game or movie and they tended to get awards on the front page for the hard earned effort. Been a long time since then, glad to see users like you still work with sprites.

Animation was pretty great here I guess with the fire, explosions, and video game cross overs that kept happening. Would have been cool if you spent a little more time and gave Zero a new name and color scheme along with a couple of unique attacks and such. The ability to choose an ending was nice too.

The sounds used here were all pretty fitting and seemed to go with the flow. Also the sound effects used give a good amount of life to the animation which makes it better than some of the cruddier and more silent sprite animation where the author spends little time working on one.

Overall, turned out alright.

Figter responds:

Thanks, the sprite usage is kind of fadig away it seems.

I get alot of points about the zero thingy, yeah it was the first time i worked with more "advanced" sprites and editing zero to make it more unique is a resonable idea!

Thank you SCTE3.

[Clocks Rising 2]

A bit better

Got a good laugh at the end when Otis got killed. Was good since he constantly paged him and the text was too small too read as well. The animation was actually nicely done and worked out here. Good small parody of the game. Also good reference to the Carlos guy who tries to snipe you near the beginning of the game as well.

The voices are the same as always and almost never ever change at all either. I guess that was alright though wasn't it. The storyline was good here and parodied that of the game too. Nice.

Overall, pretty cool I guess, good credit music.

[Purple Monkey Dishwasher]

Alright I suppose

To be honest I have never understood why clock crew members prefer to use speakonia over a real voice. With real voices you can draw out a lot more dramatic and funny effects and say a lot of things in funny ways. This animation was just real short in my opinion though. The song seemed alright though however I do not listen to much rap/hip hop as it is not a genre I really care about.

The backgrounds used were cool I guess. The little story didn't make much sense to me though. Care to elaborate on it? I guess that this little thing was kind of funny since the Iron Man head was destroyed a by a simply philly cheesesteak sub.

Overall, funny I guess.

the story is me>Sarezjay ad Philly>New York. Sarez admits this is all true as well.

[BIG IRON]

Not bad

Well this actually was pretty cool considering I haven't watched a lot of music videos on here. The only real downside is the poorly done drawing which doesn't seem to be an issue to me since unless you got a tablet then it is pretty hard to get the hang of drawing with a mouse or laptop touch pad.

The animation was slightly sloppy but I guess you are still trying to get used to the mouse/touchpad after a few years right? The audio was pretty cool and I have not heard it in a long time, the storyline was nice. When I was younger and heard it I always thought it was the ranger who got killed. Nice to see it was the outlaw instead.

Overall, sloppy animating but all else seemed alright.
