First off I've gotta give respect for the amount of hours you must have spent on this. But I have pretty major gripes concerning the lack of apparent thought put in.
I'm all for slow, peaceful flash movies as long as they counteract the lack of action with some thing else to tick the entertainment box. I couldn't really find it, maybe I wasn't looking hard enough, maybe it wasn't there, maybe I'm missing the point.
The animation was really good, I like the shaky style but some of the artwork didn't quite hit the spot for me. I know you went for a mellow colour palette to suit the whole tone of the movie but in my opinion it just came across as dull. A dullness that was highlighted further with the song, which i felt was just a little bit too dreary and I didn't care much for the singing.
Well anyway, just my honest opinions, catch you later.

Wow, a review from EdibleCastle! Thanks.
I guess its not for everyone. A lot of people do just watch it and say "what was the point of that?". I guess I want it to be kind of empty, because when I try and shoehorn in a storyline it feels forced. This world and these characters just aren't suited to drama of any sort. I know what you mean about "something else to tick the entertainment box".
Anyway I'm glad you liked the animation. I'm a big fan of Cuboy, so it means a lot coming from you.

The only part of this whole production I didnt enjoy was having to send Brady a topless photo of myself. 'Just for reference' he said...
...I'm not so sure

nice one. Out of all the games i played growing up, Monkey island is the one I love most. It's nice seeing it from someone elses perspective.
This ranks high on nostalgia but if this was another computer game, one of which I'd never played before I really wouldnt have enjoy it much.
oh well, thanks for the memories.

wow, how banal was that? but weirdly enough i kept scrubbing.
I couldnt seem to get rid of the nasty 'scrub me!" bits though.
Good music choice.
Author's Response:
Soooo sorry, by some dumb mistake, I didn't test it after I made the final changes. I fixed it, btw.
And for the music, the contest people supplied 3 awesome mp3s.
