[Night Light]

That was beautiful nostalgic presentation! You've managed to accomplish in under three months with vivid detail friend! Your style is so very reminiscent to animation almost long gone and barely even ventured, unless you happen to be the next John K. now (Just joshing buddy!). Your us in audio was fascinating too. I've heard some of those tracks before too since I play alot of nostalgic video games. But What really won me over was your use of animation and a simple story told about a child overcoming his fears and nightmares. You brought a good interesting topic and subject that always rings in the mind. The power of night terrors or the psyche of a child is very important in the healthy development of children. Everyone at a certain age fears the dark (Not the darkness itself but what resides within the darkness) and depends on protections against such malevolent forces in order to quell their innocent minds. Night terrors can be associated with this topic to a certain extent but nightmares was more of the subject manner of this short here. Your protagonist a lone child felt icy chilled fears envelop within his mind and young heart. Yet he strummed up the courage to overcome his fears and put them back in his place. What felt like a bit of lucid dreaming in the end where he regains control of himself and peace of mind in order to fend off the darkness from whence they came. it was pure classic and grade A topic in my book! For that I'm going to bestow you a 4 in a half out of 5. And a 5/5 in voting power. Keep practicing, creating and contributing here. I hope you've enjoyed this review as I have enjoyed this short. Good day.

Thank you again!

[Episode 1 - Elevator]

Beautiful animation! You have a very simple yet effective style. Audio was synched very well along with use of Dark Ambient music to bring about that unwelcoming, foreboding feeling. The only minor complaint I have is the duration was way to brief yet I'm hoping with your later entries you might make them a tad bit longer? To leave this on a cliffhanger is leaving my mind alot to be desired from your work! For instance what does Jimmy see? Is everything real to him or just a figment of his imagination? What if its a mix of both? What will he encounter in due time down that road? And most importantly to me, Will he be safe from harm on what he sees? I'm going to bestow you a 3 in a half out o 5. And a 4/5 in voting power. Keep practicing, creating and contributing here. I hope you've enjoy this review and please if you can let me know about more of your works ahead of time in your Jimmy series. I found it very stirring with mystery and minor imaginative fears like how Jimmy reflected on his "surprising" situation in that elevator. I hope you've enjoyed this review friend. Good day.

Squiggins responds:

Great review, my good sir! Much appreciated! Keep checkin' here every (so often) for a new episode!

[Decepticons Mobilise]

Great job friend! You've done a great short here, I love how you actually styled this in great detail. Audio for voice acting was very well done however I noticed two minor flaws. The first one is the "lip synching" (my light hearted joke since this character is a mechanical being) since I notice its usually one second behind leaving that tiny minor bit of a lag. Lastly your use of soundtrack is quite loud, though the synthesizing music is quite unique since I never heard the Transformers theme on something like that before! But other than that you've done very well! I'm going to bestow you a 2 in a half out of 5. And a 3/5 in voting power. Keep practicing, creating and contributing here. I hope you've enjoyed this review. Good day.

LonelyNovember responds:

Thank you for the advice and helpful review. Unfortunately I've lost the original source file for this flash animation, like the clever person that I am. I will keep in mind your feedback for my next project though. Thank you.

[Kirby's Incident]

Not bad, Not bad at all! Your style was mildly crude yet adorable at the same time. Audio was a tad bit soft for hearing. Your humor was pure random and was laughable in that goofy sense. I started to laugh some near the end where the Judge suggested hanging poor old Kirby. The only real complaint was the duration and the pacing it was just very abrupt from beginning to end. However though it wasn't all bad a you've deemed it to be. I'm going to bestow you a 2/5 and a 2/5 in voting power. Keep practicing, creating and contributing on here friend. I hope you've enjoyed this review. Good day.

Sopada responds:

Thank you for your feedback. I actually thought the same thing, it just moved along to quickly.
I'll definitely try to improve that with my next animation.

[A Rusty Five Seconds]

Pretty good friend! Your style was simple and of course experimental. Audio was good. And to note for a brief moment this felt like something out of an MTV's animated section like LiquidTelevision and such. You shouldn't worry too much about what had happened though. The best thing to do is ride it out and make the best form your past mistakes. That is how one learns to overcome their obstacles. Again you've done good friend! I'm going to give you a 2 in a half out of 5 and a 2/5 in voting power. Keep practicing, creating and contributing on here. I hope you've enjoyed this review. Good day.

PoisonHeart responds:

Thanks for the review, NS. I wish I could have pushed the MTV cartoon feeling farther, but as you say just have to ride it out.

[Valbrook: Puppy Love]

That was hilarious! Your starting to become a true blue series you know that? I loved the art style an the humor going along with it too. The characters being introduced little by little over time seem to have colorful personalities and their own brand of sense f humor to boot! You've brought me some great laughs and a big smile. Everytime I watch watch your works you seem to make me happy and that's the most honest God giving gift you've been bringing me! I'm going to give you a 4/5 and a 4/5 in voting power. I hope you keep crafting and creating on here, this is getting to be a good series from you! I hope you've enjoyed this review friend. Good day.

insertnamehere85 responds:

Thanks again! I am glad I am making someone smile! I am also glad you can see there are differences with each Quickie and the characters have their own senses of humor. Thank you again and keep watching!

[Slendermation]

That was great! That was a cute version of the infamous Slender game. Your art style was chibi like and consists of some dark shades and colors ito give it that creepy like atmosphere. Audio was descent and the lip synching was quite good! I really enjoyed the part where the main protagonist just randomly exploded in fear (apparently Slendy is used to that sort of reaction which is most unfortunate for hims since he does sound like a nice guy). I'm going to bestow you a 3/5 and a 3/5 in voting power. Keep practicing, creating and contributing here. This was again very cute and quite hilarious, Great job friend! I hope you've enjoyed this review. Good day.

CrunchyyBeast responds:

thank you wow! haha i've seen a review from you in another animation, they're always so big haha. thx man

[escape...]

That was pretty funny and random! Style and artistic wise I just don't see it. Comedy however is a different manner and subject, it was goof and just random. My mind was literally WTF but in the end I guessed I got trolled! I'm glad you brought a quick smile on my face and a minor hearty laugh, I needed it after a tough day. I'm going to give you a 2/5 and a 2/5 in voting power. Keep practicing, creating and contributing on here. I hope you've enjoyed this review and thanks again for lifting me up some. Good day.

davethemonkey responds:

thanks my good man
glad it made you smile

[Animation 232-4]

That's very cute and traumatizing for those that actually suffer from it! But fortunately I don't fear snakes, Only their capabilities on what they need to do to survive and what harm can come forth between man and beast. I found your animation style very adorable and convincing. Yeah....All snakes are friendly.....When you corner them, try to grab them and letting them strike in their own fear and haste to get away from us. Snakes aren't evil at all, they like us are just trying to thrive and survive in a hostile world. God gave them the means of tools to survive as they have given us. What we lack is anti venom in our own bloodstreams, elongated jaws, heightened sense of hunting, etc and the other side lack limbs, sentience, etc. So what the other lacks is what the other uses or depends on in capabilities. But I digress, your little loop is down right cute and awesome friend! I'm going to give you a 2 in a half out of 5. And a 2/5 in voting power. Keep practicing, creating and contributing here. I hope you've enjoyed this review. Good day.
