i wanted to review mostly because of your opinion at the end of bringing back the adult link.
while i was watching i pointed out to someone that link looks absolutely ridiculous as a muscular dude with some little elf cap hanging off of his head. how can you be a badass with that stupid green hat, honestly?
he is much better fitted as a child - as portrayed in wind waker. the hat alone should tell you that! what appeal would he have if he was as you show here? a buff guy who likes to kill stuff with a homoerotic outfit? no way!
running like a 4 year old, being 3.5 feet tall, and looking innocent in that getup is way more appealing. there's a reason nintendo did that.
the interactivity was cool but i wish i had a heads up about it since i was kicking back and watching. then all of a sudden bam! guess i shoulda read through the whole description. doh. :[

First off, I believe you are Synj, you have excellent animation skills and I hope that the whole Alien Hominid deal makes you rich. It's all relative man. I can tell you liked the Windwaker, well so did I, but I also would like to stay true to my vision of bad ass warrior Link from Ocarina of time. I know he wasn't ripped, and I got carried away, but the premis is that he gets so pissed that his muscles bulge with blood pumping adrenalin and warrior strength. It is a different style from you, and ultimately, your style is much more loved than mine, but I would like my style to just be respected is all. If you read this (doubt it) my AIM name is Airsoldier23, so throw me an IM and stuff. I'm not some homo stalker, but I would like to talk, animator to animator sometime. Peace.

that was completely cool. just goes to show it's the author, and not just his given plate of software, that truly set the bar of how far one can go!
i'm assuming you used something else on top of this though considering the song was over the default allowance of 60 seconds. whatever though!

your aesthetic is really inconsistent.
on one hand you have smooth 3D camera pans up to these characters. but then you disrupt it with 2 frame fades on all character motion. the two combined are really quirky and fighting eachother. Kind of takes me away from what's going on.

you have a point, I'm just at the begining to figure out how to combine drawn and constructed objects

man that is great. nice timing on lots of that. i believe my favorite part is where strawberry clock proclaims he has a hardon as he skids out of control

nice work, all! i enjoyed sifting through them for a different experience each time.
personally i hate when reviewers pick favorites, but i gotta say it, i got a big kick out of the misfortuned, negative egg that works at microsoft. :)

thanks!! i really appreciate this! is that guy with the beard in the beginning a KGB guy or you?
Author's Response:
Hey, it's good ol synj! I don't have a clue who the dude at the beginning is, yeah probably KGB lol. I just come up with some of this shit out of nowhere, but it was all inspired by you! :D Keep the amazing games and movies comin', man!

what's with the current trend lately in submissions where it ends at the boss fight? that's the whole moment we were geared up to see. All I got to see were henchmen dying and just when things get a bit different than your usual stick movie, it ends.
it moved well though, and i enjoyed the short conversation at the end.
i could swear that last guy he knocked down didn't count as a kill. was that a mistake, or is that guy just unconscious?
if you put your solid onionskinning on and select all your stick frames and do a small optimization, it will probably save you about 30% of your file size. also, maybe your audio wasn't set to stream. just doesn't seem right to be that big of a file.
