This has come along well!

I have to say, since writing my review of the first movie, I have totally come around =). The series has deviated into a story of its own and is doing one hell of a job telling it. The comedy of these later episodes have been quite amusing and there are some really nice animation sequences in the fight scenes. Besides the obviously traced graphics (which were loosely adapted into your art style), I really enjoy the simple look of the series.

When the inevitable Episode 5 comes out, I'm sure it will follow suit of the rest and one-up all the past episodes!

Bravo!

[The Legend of David 1]

It has potential...

I would have liked to see either:

A) Variation from the OoT events
or
B) More jokes about the OoT events

Those are two paths that parodies tend to take. Without them, it just seems like a re-hashing of the story most of us have played before (multiple times even). I'll give it to you that your variations and ironic gags were very enjoyable ("So you mean I did all that for nothing?" "Pretty much" cracked me up). But you need MORE of that.

To me this just seemed like LoZ: OoT with a few minor tweaks, but judging from those small little humorous flickers I know you've got what it takes to make a killer parody.

Keep it up!

Ahhh the memories

Good times.... good times =)

[:the Composer:]

It brought a smile to my face...

...and a warm feeling to my heart.

This flash struck a beautiful chord inside of me. As a young composer, it's an inspiring short story of a fellow musician's childhood, growing years and beyond. The final scene with the boy and the guitar resonated inside of me, and this certainly made my day.

Great work.

Very nice work Master...

As you've probably noticed, I have been dormant in the LL lately. I visit from time to time, but never really posting much. I think watching this video has inspired me to make some more LL films =D.

The animation was good and I really like your new art style.
Keep on rockin'!

Make more flash you fluffy wad of sugar you. :'

[Raiders of the Trash]

Very good quality flash

The graphics were OUTSTANDING! The video fit the music very well and there was some humour thrown in here and there. The only possible thing that I can complain about is the animation. The art is awe-worthy, but the animation isn't too hot. It works enough to get the point across but not enough that it looks good with the drawings.
If you work on your frame-by-frame skills with that art style of yours, you will be an even more outstanding artist than you already are. Kudos!

[Tree of Life]

Not bad at all...

The drawings were nice, but could have used a bit of clean-up work (seeing how the brush tool smudges things). The animation seemed a bit... I dunno, odd... they were smooth, but a little surreal. Not that big of a deal though, seeing as not many people here are professional animators.
The music was cool, very relaxing.
The main thing that made me not vote excessivly high on this is that the flash, though it looked and sounded nice, had no real plot. Now it might be an "artsy" representation of some sort, but there wasn't really a story to it.

Either way, good job on the artwork. Just clean do a little once over to smooth out the lines and remove the brush tool's smudges and keep on rockin!

[(2006) Sneaky Sneaky]

Not good...

I'm actually kind of disappointed. This wasn't funny. I let out a slight chuckle once, but that was it. Overall this was just a waste of time, and I know you can make better films.

[Zelda: Heroic Rage 8]

Enough man!

I've been a fan of the series for a while now. The series was supposed to have ended at Episode 5... Then Ganon's minions came to avenge him, which was okay seeing as that's how it went down in Zelda II. But up until Post-Ep5 Episodes, you have been really true to the game as far as sound effects and moves, while having creatvice license and making it more hardcore. And that's why I liked the series.
But Link has a son and he becomes a hero? That isn't really something that fits into the Zelda universe. A hero is born approximatly every 100 years... But that's not really the point, it's you're movie, so whatever you say goes....
ANYWAYS
Onto the movie at hand...
The graphics seem the same as the last 5 movies in this series. A little sketchy, with even sketchier animation to boot. There are a few animation sequences which I really enjoyed, but most were just odd and a little surreal (when he's running for example).
I would have given you a style of 10 in the original episodes, but the story seems to be being dragged out, so that's why its low.
Some sounds didn't seem to fit. That's all I need to say.
Violence is high because it is a violent movie. I've never really understood the goodness of a high violence rating =P

Overall, I think this story has been drawn on far too long and that Link should have stayed slain as a grand finale way back in Episode 5. Good and evil, though opposites, are interconnected... One cannot exist without the other... When the Ultimate Evil (Gannon) is destroyed, there is no need for the Ultimate Good (Link)...
But I know this review won't stop you from making more, but take this into consideration... Take your time with Episode 9, 10, etc... Make their graphics shine like Adam Phillips or Mousekiliks. Hate my review right here and make me eat my words for the next episodes =D RENEW MY FAITH IN THE SERIES ^_^

Farore's speed, Din's power and Nayru's wisdom be with you =D

I don't usually respond to anything under 7, but I will for this long ass novel you wrote because I can tell some care and thought went into it. I hope you like the next one, but I do draw with a mouse, remember that!
