TravelSizedLions's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[All Roads (NATA)]

Hmm... I really like the message. :)

Your maturity as a storyteller never ceases to amaze me. I definitely think you're moving on to the next round. Not many people can match that level of conveyance and conciseness in imagery. I especially like your usage of color symbolism. Though, for the sake of personal growth, you should probably move away from the limited pallet next round.

Pahgawk responds:

Yeah, I agree. It even starts to feel boring as I'm making it, and when I feel bored with what I'm making it never turns out as well, so I'll be switching it up to keep it fresh at the very least.

[Dinosaur Animation]

This is a good step forward, my friend. I'm in agreement with Twisted4000, you know what you're doing for the most part. it's just a matter of pushing yourself a bit harder to get every last drop of entertainment out of your script.
...
And also, I and other members of newgrounds really enjoy it when something clean AND funny makes it to the front page. Don't ever change that.

[StarNova]

Overall, very good. I like that you kept things appropriate(there's just too much garbage on NG nowadays). Your character designs are very complex, and the colors are very appealing to the eye.

However, your storytelling skills fall very flat. I'm not so sure I understand what just happened, actually. I didn't see much of a storyline, much exposition, climax, or resolution. For instance, why was that guy trying to take over(...rob?) that store. What's the relationship between the antagonist and the protagonists? I suppose I have to give you leeway, since a lot of the plot holes seemed to have been intentional. Although, it didn't seem to have that comedic effect you were looking for.

Please, don't think that I'm hating on you. Certainly not, I'd just like to see a story more fitting of your level of artistic ability.

Twisted4000 responds:

Yeh plot holes were intentional. I was attempting to go for some anime-mocking thing, like in some episode nothing's really explained but the characters happen to have some previous relationship and conflict and

No but seriously that's a good review. I don't entirely agree with how the plot holes aren't funny, since that's more of a biased thing as opposed to a fact, but I see what you're saying.

[Swelter]

This better be a part of Portal History 2012. No joke, man. The best thikng I've seen since alight.

[WTFuture]

Anyone else notice the Police Call Box in the background while they were getting chased?

[The Hungah Gayums]

I agree with dark dude. You really shouldn't rate your stuff as 'E' if you drop the F-Bomb in it.
It's considered explicit audio.

Fix the language issue, or warn us ahead of time, please. Elsewise I would've given you a full five stars. :)

[Hank Hanky: Girlfriend]

Another great little submission, man. i just can't stop watching these things. I'll have to send a few to my nieces and nephews. they aught to love 'em!

[Nyan Caxx]

Why do I love this so much?

[TIMELESS (NATA '12)]

Very beautiful, and very stylistic. It quite a few watch throughs to find where the mechanics and time savers start to show through. It was a very unique concept, time being like a story book, written a page a day, unable to "skip ahead". However, I don't think that same idea, which you had written about in the author comments, was conveyed clearly to the audience. Most people understood that he tried to travel in time to help his spouse, but weren't really sure whether he traveled forward or backward until the end (or at least, that's how I thought the first time I saw the video). And I wouldn't have caught the idea of Time being like a book in progress, unless I had read all the way through your commentary.
All that said, don't think that I think you did a bad job. It was a wonderful story, and very touching, something I'd really like to see more of on newgrounds.
