Okay, I'm gonna be fair...
This wasn't nearly half as bad as a lot of other stuff I've seen on here. And the graphics could have been worse, people. He used sprites. It had a lot of heart, and c'mon... he worked really hard on it. The animation is fairly decent, because it's not repetitive or anything.
I say we give him a break, because hey...I haven't even had the time to sit down and learn flash so I can use my programs and make my own toons, so...it's better than what I could do.
You keep it up, guy. You just put in the work and the effort, and I'm sure you'll come up with something great someday. :) Of course, most people here are out looking for humor (I'm sure if you had them saying ridiculous things to weird-ass music, it would have gotten applauded and such, but the fact that you were going for seriousness got looked down upon merely because it's not "funny".) So don't take it personally...it's like trying to read Hamlet at open mic night at the nearest comedy club: They just usually expect funny things at newgrounds, that's all. ;)
