Great work. Really fun and awesome. Graphics were good, not fantastic but pleasing to the eye so it was good.
A sequel would be awesome for the future too. :)

Well... it's a walk cycle. Yes, a very good walk cycle but still, just a walk cycle. I don't know if it was common for people to submit stuff like this back in '02 but even if it was, I can't give it a good score.
Everything, visually, in this was great, but there was only one thing.
Maybe you should have made it walk in a town and have some events happen. I'm assuming you don't do Flash anymore and I won't disagree with your decision. Your still images in Photoshop are great and much better than this.

Such an indepth review for something that took 5 minutes.

Great Flash, not just random violence but a story and a touching one at that. I love how you show how the father is abusing the two for the beginning and then how the kid comes and kills the father for all the right reasons.
I felt sorry for the mum and the kid and was hoping for the kid to kill his father and you did this really well! It probably would've been better if he killed the dad as the dad was about to kill his wife so it was more heroic.

This was good. Just, the intro was extremely crap and I thought the whole flash would've been crap. Make a new intro for yourself.
Art throughout the movie was good. Lipsync was pretty good, could've had more eye and eyebrow movement. Voices, need work. To make the quality of the sound the same as the real sound inside the Flash, go to File > Publish Settings > Flash > Flash Stream settings and untick the box that says "convert stereo to mono" and change it to 112kbps.
Loved the end and concept. Good work.

Funny, graphics could be a bit more interesting, they were kinda plain. Great lipsyncing, great script, voice quality could be better... I'm actually starting to wonder if the voices are fine, but you don't know this trick in Flash:
File > Publish Settings > Flash > Stream Settings - and set it to 112kbps for better sound quality on streaming.
Maybe you could've used some better text like some pixelated text instead of boring arial or whatever you used.
I really enjoyed this and I think you guys did a great job!

Yah, the plainness was there since this was originally two seperate shots in my SUnday Comics and Toons. Had to make each part inside a week. The Voice Quality is run thru a synthesizer to actually MAKE that sound, though. hehe. That's why there are subtitiles.
The issue with this movie's sound is that nothing WAS stream. Well, it WAS, but not in the traditional sense. Since the movie was originally with a lot of clips of other people's (collab I ran) all sounds had to be put into movie-clips to keep them from appearing in the wrong place or even other people's clips (I have since found a better way to deal with this), so the sound here may get a little funny at times because of it.
As for the text, I picked something easy to read. Pixelated is good-looking, but reading isn't as easy for some. Also, it was Comic Sans MS. So neener neener!!! =p
I'm also making another one of these. This is a set of a series. Like, I'll make a few short series using these guys. This is a 1 of 3 part series, then there may be another story that takes a few parts at another time. The graphics will be a LOT better. Just check out some of my earlier news posts and you'll see the HUGE difference!
Thanks for reviewing!

That was amazing... just, the guy with a helmet on sounded like he was supposed to be Australian... if that was the case, Australians play a different type of football... very different. Otherwise, this was hilarious and done really well! Great job!

This flash is great and deserves a lot more than it has... it has an accurate score but needs an award and more reviews. 10/10
Author's Response:
Thanks dude! I wish it had a reward but it's entry score wasn't that high and kinda passed through without much recognition.
