In this video essay I will prove the celibacy of Mojitos

[Pico's Christmas]

I Laughed out loud at the Tankman moment at 1 in the morning completely alone. Anything capable of doing that is a true classic.

[Toon Train Coolab]

All these years later and buttglove is still glorious

Insector responds:

Many thanks friend! I also find it still inspires joy

[Dadbattle with lyrics by recD and animation done by me]

what a lovely tribute to the original! I especially loved that you adapted the outro, too, and added a little guy singing the accompaniments. :)

HELLO sorry i didnt get youre message.ik im late but thanks for watching the vidoe i appreciate it🤭o did all of this on a phone on flipaclip so its kinda bad but i tried👍

[Viva La Vida Mario]

Ah, I remember when I first watched "Back To The Start Mario" a few days after my eleventh birthday. I'm pretty sure it was the first thing I'd ever seen on the internet with a serious tone and a legitimate message. It got me into coldplay, and got me thinking about animation and the world. The years have come and gone, and, as I'd never expected, a sequel has been made.

Having watched it, I think I can say that, while it's not the prettiest thing on newgrounds, the massive improvements in art, animation and scene direction make it even more enjoyable than the original. While such a black-and-white portrayal of peace and corruption would seem overly simplistic in a full-length film, for four minutes, it works surprisingly well to promote the simple message held within and is enhanced by the clear amount of painstaking detail and time invested.

I may have grown a bit more fond of the Blue Blur than the ol' Portly Plumber over time (and shifted the majority of my creative efforts towards Hand-Drawn Sonic Parodies), but that hasn't kept me from recognizing quality and heart in Mario Sprite fanworks, especially "Mario Back To The Start" and this sequel.

Well done, Jackbliss. I anticipate seeing the result of the wide-eyed children that will be inspired by "Viva La Vida Mario" just as the original inspired me seven years ago.

jackbliss responds:

Hey thanks for the review! Glad to know people still remember that movie. I was only 20 and it was like one of my first flash movies ever and still the most known lol. Also good to hear I've improved over the years a bit. I watched some of your Sonic parodies. They're pretty cool. Keep up the great work and hope we will continue to watch each others movies for years to come :)

[Skitzo the 1920s Bear]

Thank you for reviving my nightmare.

I must say, Comick, something like this fits your twistedly beautiful style of animation perfectly. Excellent Job.

One thing that interests me is the Design of Skitzo himself; Besides the large blank eyes, he looks shockingly similar to a dancing bear from an early Felix The Cat Cartoon known as april maze. You can find a clip of this bear by searching google for "Otto Messmer's Dancing Bear". This dancing bear has given me quite a few nightmares as a child. That being said, I would love to know if this bear was used in any way for skitzo's design or if it was completely original, if you've the time to say.

Again, excellent work, Comick. 10/10.

[VG Cats Animated 3]

Day Of The Tentacle, nice choice. Also nice flash.

I've got to say, this is a great adaptation of the VG cats comic. Well-animated, funny, and the music...

All I've got to say is bravo for choosing an arranged song from day of the tentacle. It makes such good BGM for many situations.

Also numa numa is nice.

Overall, excellent short.

If suicidemouse.avi was this, it would be scary.

Wow, man, this is one of the creepiest flashes I have ever seen. I can only suppose that you had seen the suicidemouse.avi creepypasta before you animated this, Needless to say, this is much scarier. Nearly ever second is a horror.

It starts out with that evil gluttonous mickey face, then mickey in hell, atching minnie dangle above a city, raping and killing donald duck, and then walking while changing expression, much like suicidemouse but better.....

Then the close up of his face is REALLY horrifying.

The scream in the end actually ADDED to it, surprisingly enough, since it wan't too short or too long.

All in all, this was amazing. I'm nominating it for treasure hunt 2010.

from hell called me, asking me to do this

[Well, It's Mario!]

[Dr. Mario with Lyrics]
