[*Out Of This World 1*]

well sorry but...

Are you trying to get the story right?
cuz he wakes up in a pool and he runs from that damn dog thing while dodging the needle worms, and then bad ass monkey face shows up, all the lab stuff was the opening b4 he teleported, when i was like 7 i worshipped that game i swear it

smokeshow responds:

If I was trying to get the story right i would not have made the movie ;). The story is meant to be 'another way it could have happened'. Like you I was obsessed with game and I made the movie because I enjoyed it. I never had a clear picture in my head of what would happen but rather just a collection of things occurring that I liked most about the game.

dude thats entirely true!

every damn word you said is true, completely true, i tried posting my original scripts on here in the fourms and no one would take them because they didnt use pop culture icons or even references, because i like comedy as much as the next guy but its hard to only watch the comedic crap that goes onto that front page, every once in a blue moon there will be a good movie on the front page, but thats about it, nothing good seems to continue and any original series seemed to stop, and i think thats why, no pop culture references and people (excuse me, kids) dont watch it, and if they get bored they vote so low it has no chance of even ever seeing the front page, ive seen several videos ive enjoyed get blammed, and all they needed was some good clean up work, and it would have been a great video. well im gonna end my rant here. thanks for making people stop and think.

A few months ago ashford pride made a movie with a foreboding title. It was called "Awesome Grounds".

Well ladies and gentlemen, that's might as well what this site should be called (at least right now), with the top row on the front page slot dedicated to an "awesome" movie and an "awesome" parody, an "awesome" t-shirt in the newgrounds store, and pretty much every "awesome" movie in the top 100, along with han's "awesome's creed".

I can't go to newgrounds with seeing something not about egoraptor or his coveted video game parody series. It makes me wonder sometimes if pursuing anything but half-assed cartoons making mildly funny observations about video games laced with profanity is even worth it. Truly, they are what bring the masses of 13-year olds to this site, and thus increases traffic and competition in the internet world. But you have to ask yourself, with this sort of two-bit audience increasing in numbers, are they really interested in watching anything else?

I understand that it's a dog eat dog world in the online entertainment business, and to compete you have to pretty much put up content that a majority of internet browsers would click on. This includes either women or video games. Things they already know they want. And that's all they want. They sign up, watch more, and come back and do it again later. They're trained to know that what they want is easily accessible and is promoted all over the site.

Original content is often shuffled off to the bottom of the page, or never gets any attention to begin with. Now comes into play the whole 'they won't click on it unless there's a boob for the icon', etc etc. That's because they've been fashioned to think that way.

I'm not saying i have all the mysterious answers to the way people's minds work. But this much is true - if all people click on are breasts and video game icons, and you give them breasts and video game icons, you're not pushing the envelope.

Newgrounds is the epitome of user-generated content. We already have a massive advantage over youtube in the fact that making a cartoon involves so much more creativity than snappily editing your webcam footage. So instead of 200 cartoons coming out every minute, we have 200 cartoons coming out every day. That gives someone a better chance of breaking out and being discovered for his hard work, and a reward for a job well done.

But in the same way that viewers are trained that they don't have to go out of their way to avoid original content they would otherwise enjoy, authors are becoming more and more disenchanted with their personal creations and are turning to nerd culture icons and cheap tactics to get viewers.

I can't tell you how many animators I have spoken to that have shunned their own creations in favor of sub-pop culture parody and disjointed scripts sprinkled with toilet humor and profanity. a cartoon catering to everyone who's forgotten what cartoons are all about. And here we are shoving away everything about cartoons that was originally appealing and magical, because we're pretty much forced to.

I'm not pointing the finger at any one person here. I think it's part of the bigger picture - bigger than Newgrounds, too. But if people really care about the future of cartoons and animation, we wouldn't be seeing this kind of blatant favoritism.

People will find what they want if they want it. They don't need to be spoon fed it all.

For thirty years animators who strive to create something genuinely unique have gotten nothing but a slap in the face. It's sickening and it has to stop someday, before they all disappear.

Lastly, this post is not about me. I'm not writing this out of self-pity, bitterness or spite. I'm being honest. I care a lot about the future of animation, and what I see around me is very troubling. The industry is bad enough, but where the future lies is in the small corners of the animation world. Newgrounds is one of them. I spend a lot of time trying to encourage and teach frame-by-frame animation, and creating your own characters and scripts. That is what is important

[Shinukoto!]

wow that was interesting

umm i kinda laughed but then the ending was sad. talk bout bi polar

[TT: 004 Educated Fish]

awsome fish

i wouldve kept the song going the whole time though just cuz it adds to the cartooniness of the flash

[Mario RPG: Rawest Forest]

good but improvment is needed

the characters could have been done better especially mario. the best were Geno and Peach bowser came next and "marshmellow boy" was the worst. but overall the animation and lip sync was really well done.

[Super Mario bros Z ep 4 (old series)]

man this has the potential to go far.

you could make a pixilated movie, or even a series. you have a great storyline, good graphics(with the pixils of course) but overall i would pay the price of a dvd to have it all on disc.

[In to your brain]

You Need to redo it

cuz you made it so slow on the gaphics that the sound file stopped before the animation
