[Where the Missing Sock Go]

Oh now this is pure GOLD

This had a good story, great use of music, and amazing and stylish animation.
Though the reason why the sock had to go through the trial is questionable.
Still, it is a demonstration of great imagination and style.

OxSox responds:

Why didn't the cane just reanimate the sock in sockland? I figured this weeded out the non-worthy socks. Plus it wouldn't have made for much a movie.

[The lazyway]

Definitely inspired by Lazy Muffin

How long has it been since I heard that song.
But oh the tension build up. Followed by a anti-climatic ending.
All that...ALL that just to change the channel?
Ever seen someone work so hard at being so lazy?
Just a little choppy and sloppy here and there, but I love the comedy.

[ex-girlfriend]

(O_O) . . .

My reaction to this was brief and fleeting.
But...I sympathizes.
Sometimes that just how guys feel.

[Candy Land]

Quite possibly the best, but also too short.

I was expecting a spectacle of bravery!
But the result was a little short-comming.
Over all I am thoroughly impressed by the quality of the work.
Even though it was a bit short for my expectations.
I was kinda hoping to see like Candy Tanks. But oh well.
Good Work!

[Damn Pumpkin]

That was just weird.

I would be impressed a bit more if it was in color.
Seeing that it is flash, it really should be too much trouble.
I have a big gripe against work that is only seen half through.
But...I digress. It is a good demonstration of your animation skills.
Though I felt it was done more for fun than to test your skills.

[Icarus]

That was...interesting.

Though lacking in a story of some kind...
It does move along quite nicely.
Giant Robots killing lizards that are giant robots in disguise?
Whatever floats your boat dude.
I am impressed with the animation and colors.
Not impressed with your limited sound effects.

[dogtime]

Cute and Quirky, but not complete.

I also feel the choice of music is inappropriate for the type of theme your going for.
This is a cartoon of fluid motion. Similar to the animations of John Kricfalusi.
But you lacked adequate sound and animation.
It's like I'm just watching a story board for a future project.
Sure it's a mini-flash.
But I got this thing about only appreciating 'finished' work.

[Blattaria Blast]

Extremely Professional-Why have I never seen this!

For a flash, your limited to only so much graphics.
But this is quite a show! A little hard to follow but who cares!
It was nothing but pure glee of kinetic motion!
The rush! The feel of running and jumping is expressed very well.
With an interesting epilogue explaining the 'origins' of the experiment.
I hope you get hired at a studio of some kind.

[Pinball-like Echoes]

Space-Tacular! A real "eye" full.

Though you have to wait a while for it to load properly...
This is truly a unique animation making good uses of movement.
It also matches very well with the music choice.
I am thoroughly impressed with this piece of work.
