[Expectations: A Pikachu Tale]

At first I was like 'this is so cute!' then it was more like 'ohmygoshI'msoscared!!!!' Great video, I'll neve play pokemon again! ^_^
No, seriously, it's dead to me now. *shivers*

RetroSleep responds:

I feel a little bad about that last bit, but i'm glad you liked it! Thanks.

[Dance, Skeleton]

Pfft, that was great. That last part killed me dead! Hm.... sudden urge to dance...

JackSquatJB responds:

Only dance if you want to, not because society dictates you should!

[How To Basic - Animated P]

Keep in mind, I'm not trying to be mean, I'm only trying to help: It was pretty boring and simple. Now, the basic rule for making videos (animations especially) is that you don't need to be overly complicated or convoluted to make a good one. But I think that you might have taken it a bit too far. Audiences don't need a whole song and dance number to be entertained, but for those who don't get the reference, this is really like watching almost nothing. The end is surprising, but I think most people won't get it.

Punch-Dance responds:

thanks for the feedback! i made after watching likeof his 10 videosand laughing and not knowing why it would be so popular, i never considered anything else after that. I wondered how i could make sure people get the joke but then got carried away with the whole simple idea i had at first and just dropped it and made this hoping people get it haha. I'll defiantly take your feedback into consideration

[Coraline Intro]

I thought it was going pretty good until the part where her parents are watching her leave. They didn't care enough to do that, which was the main reason why she was a prime target for the Beldame. It might have looked better if the ghosts were more human like, but moved too quick to distinguish as individuals. Then there is the three green eyes, which I thought was Wybie, until I saw a camera like thing come out of a log (too small for any child, and so NOT Wybie). Also, it is a good idea to add a small hint of the Other Mother, but instead of showing her needle-hand grabbing the doll out of thin air, maybe an above-shot of it on an old desk. She reaches over (hidden off screen) with needle-hand, and drags it off, leaving scratch marks in the wood. I would have left off the unraveling scenery all together, as it feels like you are giving too much away. For the intro, you want to give them just enough to hook them in and get them interested, not a visual summary of the story. I hope this helps. Good start, good start! :)

FrozenFire responds:

There are a lot of great points here! A lot of the time I just abstracted pieces of the film to where those who've seen it understand and those who haven't will simply be intrigued.

Pretty much wanted people to not know what the intro was for until Coraline pops out of the house. After that it's just abstracted references.
