Truly A Work of Art
Sometimes I rate ten just because I laughed at a movie enough to make me want to vote ten. Sometimes I rate ten because the movie had decent animation or plot. I rate ten on newgrounds because I never think there can be an animation any better than those that I rate ten, an animation any better because most people here are amature and aspiring flash artists who need that inspiration. This ten, however, is a ten that would be given at the highest animation contest in the world. If it were rated on the newgrounds level, I would need a few hundred more stars. Want to know why?
Because I loved it.
This movie is a quality that can not really be described in words. It is so touching to the heart that one just has to experience it. No one can possibly read about it and feel its emotion. the only thing words will do is make them want to see it. I will do my best to explain to you what i felt.
First off, this movie brought tears to my eyes. The facial experessions that you gave each character were brilliant and real. The voice actors were incredible and everything was designed beyond expectations. I was very glad that you made the sounds high quality, because they really distracted me from the lowered quality of the graphics. The lowered quality, however, did not take away the joy and I was very glad that it didnt. This movie was done so well that the lowered quality could not possibly take away the brilliance of it. I cant imagine what this will be like when I buy the DVD. I will show it to all my friends.
The little girls eyes always attracted me. They seems to just stare right into mine and as the movie progressed I started to really grow on the character and care for her. The doctor, with his misunderstood mind made me feel sorry for him rather than get angry at him. I really felt connected to them. I felt for the girl and i felt for the doctor. I felt for the little catipillar she always carried around with her. I felt for her real dad who dieds in some battle and lost her arms in an explosion. Great character development.
The plot was wonderful as well. I know you wanted to make this 45 minutes long, but you decided to cut it down to 22 which was a bold move and made each and every second not wasteful at all. Every scene seemed like it needed to be in there, nothing was pointless. Each line seemed like it shouold be there. Each movement should have been made in order to get a point across. Everything was tied so nicely together! Everything connected!
The voice wacting was the best i have heard in a long time. Each charcter studdered when they needed to, each character sniffed when they needed to, each character sounded happy when they needed to, sad, angry, frustrated, shy, e.t.c. Wonderful! The sounds were great as well! Plastic, metal, scratching, creaking of gears, hydrolics, all of these sounds molded together to create a very vibrant scene. finally, the music brought everything together and really flew with the animation like magic. It put that final touch on it that brought it to life.
The art. Ahhh the art! You have such a simple style that is frame by frame, and really looks great! You are very talented at body movement, facial expressions, hand gestures, anatomy! Even though the art was simple, the backgrounds were complex, and everything was done so well. I always gazed in awe at the wonderful look on the characters faces in certain situations. These gestures made me laugh when a character laughed, made me cry when a character cried, and made me surprised when a character was surprised! i felt as if I was there. The art engulfed me into this movie and took me on a wonderful journey into the mind of a wonderful and talented artist. Good job Man.
I remember when we talked about you making this movie 9 months ago. I was sitting next to a tree on the gof course late at night and we were talking about God remember? Then you mentioned something about putting the movie on newgrounds and I was like hell yeah go for it! you are so modest, I didnt realize it was this wonderful. You have sme true talent. Praise God
