The song was pretty good, and the animation was smooth, but nothing was spectacular. I didn't really like your style, you took the lyrics completely literally and translated them as such in your Flash. Perfect example: "Save a penny for the ferryman," and your animation was EXACTLY that. Sometimes, artistic interpretation is a very good thing. Also, I felt that this movie kind of lacked the real, polished drawing skill I've become so attracted to in Flash. Everything in yours was created with no space for sketchy errors or anything, and the drawing wasn't stunning enough to stand alone as polished as it was. It was okay, but nothing to really talk about.
It would have almost been funny, but that joke at the end kind of ruined it for me. "It really is a 'Good Book'! Hahaha! Hey, guys, come back, please..." It was way too corny. The overall concept really wasn't that funny; it didn't offer much insight and wasn't even very intelligent, as most religious and political humor tends to try to be. I liked the song at least. By the way, I wasn't offended at all by it, because it doesn't really attack Jews or any group anyway. It just seems a semi-stupid attempt at intelligent humor. Better luck next time.
I enjoyed this a lot. From the odd animation and art, to the shifting picture in Devin's house, to the Spanish-cursing CPU, to Devin freaking out and subsequently blowing the hell out of the other guy's computer. Weirdly, weirdly funny.
