Reviews for "Smile!"
Great Idea - But didn't utilize full potential.
Awesome, very original idea. I loved the concept. The music loop in the background fitted more than perfectly, and the animation turned out to be pretty good. But the thing is, you went wrong in a few areas. Some of the animation was a little sloppy, and the discoball concept at the end was (in my opinion) a complete and utter failure. I would've rated "Style" and "Sound" ten if you had put together another conclusion to this.
Overall, I liked it. I've watched it a few times now. But I think you didn't use all of this "idea's," if you will, to it's full extent.
This is no doubt one of the better serious animations at NG. Good job. I'm looking forward to see more work from you.

Very deep,
I enjoyed this very much. To me it represents our current socieity how everyone forced or expected to "conform" at one point or another.
If you cant read between the lines than you wont understand it.
This was intense
First of all, Goth? I understand your frustrations. Just because something is "dark" doesn't mean it's "gothic".
I thought this was really intense. I could see how each of the smiling robots represented the pop-culture whoredom of America. Nike logos, "sexy bitch" t-shirts, even a shirt similar to that of Ronald McDonald, it was everywhere.
The sound was really, REALLY creepy, and set a good tone.
The pace was pretty slow and agonizing, which fits this well.
Overall, a very good piece, and by all means, keep your meanings to yourself, and don't let the "goth" label change how you do things.
Creepy!
Very creepy... but good
