Reviews for "Nim's Winter tale"
Winter wonderland!
That was a pleasant short film, with visuals that really helped accentuate the movie's wholesome and whimsical theme. First, the excellent use of colors, light, and shadow helped to set the mood of a dreamy, whimsical winter's night. Also, the animation was good (not great), but without being too showy. Finally, the detailed backgrounds added to the movie's quality.

Content-wise, this movie has a wonderfully simple yet pleasing feel to it. What a pleasant revelation to discover Nim's relative size! Watching the movie a second time, it's clear that the author did an excellent job of hiding Nim's size until he reaches the cabin - which has logs thicker then he is tall. The fact that he does odd-jobs for the family pro-bono is a really heartwarming bit.

It's worth mentioning too that the music is excellent. It even has appropriate transitions between scenes. The only thing that detracts from this movie is the inexplicable "pink camel desert" bit near the end. It completely shatters the cool winter night effect. Other than that, perhaps Nim's outfit could have a more textured and detailed look, rather than the subtle-gradient look. This would better fit in with the richly detailed backgrounds.
.
All in all, an excellent job. This movie sets out to tell a simple winter's tale, and succeeds wonderfully due to excellent presentation.
Absolutely groundbreaking animation.. Genius.
Amazing Graphical effects on this Flash.. The observation required to get the snow effect like it is, it's nailed to perfection and I would imagine there will be a few animators that will use this effect in the near future...
The soundtrack suits the piece perfectly..
and the fact that it's Swedish with english subtitles just adds even more to the mood of this piece.
Excellent! - well done, definetly another NewGrounds classic.
Snyft
Alltså, det här är äkta svenskt sagoberättande. Troll och tomtar(jag gillar troll särskilt mycket). Påminner mig om några finna böcker om tomtar jag fick när jag var liten. Bra att några svenska skapare vågar göra filmer på svenska(Smart att att använda sub).
Hoppas du gör mer i samma stil(med sånna där långnästa troll, dom är coola).
I wish more people were like this
All I see these days on the internet is cartoons with violence and gore, adult themes, drugs, misspelled words like there (they're) but this was beautiful. It was sweet, simple, and beautifully crafted. It was great. Good job;
