Reviews for "The History of Animation"

;_;

You left out anime lol. (and the one you did put in was Wierdo Milk Chan ick)

Good job, really nicely done. I hope you get an A+ on this one :P Though as a flash I'll give you a 3 ^_^

voilence-4 for the part where hitler gets stabbed in the eye

Not bad, but...

I completely disagree with your glazing over of the 80's, it was in fact probably the most important period in animation history since the golden age of the 30s-50s. During the 70s animation as an industry was in decline and at the end of the decade it was realized by marketing firms that toys would sell better if they could just hammer the brand names into kids' heads but they only had 30 second comercials to do it. The solution? Write a half hour toy commercial and vaguely disguise it as a cartoon! From this such iconic brands as Transformers, GI Joe, He-Man and Thundercats were born. Monetarily speaking it was the most profitable time for animation studios ever and many smaller studios sprang up to try and get a slice of the action. More people were producing more animation for television at this time than in any other period before or since.

ok sir, please do me the favor of editing the flash so the 80's are included, with all of those points you mentioned, and I'll put it up here post-haste!

It's funny, but intelligent the exact same time

It was great, I learnt stuff I didn't know and didn't need to know and I got a little chuckle out of it too. It rockses!

You show 'em

That was pretty cool. And, God help me, educational. the audio was kinda bad, but I guess that's what you get if you want to keep 11 minutes of animation downloadable.
Do you have any of the names of the 'international' cartoons you showed? The Korean one looked nice.

cyberen responds:

I would tell you, but I was just informed that the Korean one is actually chinese. CURSE YOU GOOGLE!

Decent Job

Overall, you have a decent work, and although, you could have done a better job (I hope), I'm grading you on you show. Personally, it could have been better and remove all of that blah blah. May be a practical example would have done extra justice. You also run into some problems with word choice and language. Never say these things aren't important. You are better off reworking the title, or putting the extra work in, especially when it is stuff that matters.

Graphics: They were ok. It could have been better if there was more flash. This was PowerPoint-mix. I thought your 2nd deleted scene could have been used, and if you remember Wyle E. Coyote cartoons, you know he keeps on coming, even after times he supposed to be really dead. You had problems with choppiness at parts as well.

Style: This is very unique. I didn't give a 10 for 2 reasons. One, if you are talking about history of all of animation, you do have to involve history of other nations, rather US. You do mention of the French involvement, but there's a lot more, which you bring up, but declare it as unimportant. There's plenty of importance of foreign animation: anime, manga, Japanese and Korean involvement, etc. Otherwise, it was well done, and a lot shorter than the 2 hour documentary I watched on the History Channel. Henceforth, an 8.

Sound: You had a lot of syncing problems, even with doing the "stop-play" technique used. Overall, it was annoying.

cyberen responds:

how about if I used THE MOST ANNOYING SOUND IN THE WORLD?!?!?!?!?!?!?
