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.
I like your graphics a lot. However, you are definitely more of an artist than an animator, as the animation was not very fluid or inspired. I am a fan of your style, and the content was okay, except for the sound...
I liked it mostly, but Jesus. The music sounded like a first-generation PC game, and the kid sounded like a duck on crack. He is annoying, I'll give you that, but excess is not necessarily always a good thing.
Give it a bit more length, substance, and animation effort, and you'll be well on your way to grabbing my attention in a good way next time.
I dunno. The song fit well, what with the tempo and meaning (Vercades, it's saying "Everyone says 'You've just got to let it go'). However, I did find the Flash rather bland and unoriginal, not to mention the just-too-odd-looking characters. Love is not confined to the cliche "I love you", melodramatic, supersweet stuff, but the majority of Newgrounds seems to think so (or at least they were too lazy to think of something original). I think it wouldn't be that bad a Flash if there weren't so many exactly like this (many with better art), but you're pitching to an oversaturated market. It's just old, and I can't really say much else.
I felt that this one had much less atmosphere than your previous movie. This is mostly because of the anticlimax... It had atmosphere, but it deteriorated over the course of the film. You have presentation talent... Just lend it to a more serious idea.
This is the first Bond parody I've seen in a long while; this was refreshing. Your wit is pretty active in this; I especially liked the random "DOMO'D!". That could be because of my impeccable Strong Bad impression but then that could just be me. Bond is quite the... Character.
Kind of stupid. I know many people like it, but it's repetitive and overall not very funny... Especially Goku. If you have to have a cameo, make it of a good character.
I love this. Odd story about the song. Your style and coordination is good, as well as the emoting of your characters. Maxwell is awesome. I could see a lot of influences there too... Good ones.

Thanks. I really wish I knew what the Sancho was saying, all i know is that is cursing!

Good!
My only major gripe is that the sheep for the most part look like moles with afros.

Thanks. Took me a while to get the grey hairs right on him. XB

But Goku was the only cool character that could use "Kamehameha"!!
