Love It.
It's not only the best LOTR parody, but its the best Clock flash too (in my opinion)
Reviews for "Lord of the Clocks pt. 1a"
Excellent animation, but...
Since when did homosexuality and evil become synonymous? Unless, of course, you're a bible thumper, in which case I pity you.
Furthermore, this seems to be scenes from the movie identically regurgitated into flash format.
Good work, but skip the homophobia, and try to work from your own imagination next time.

It's a joke. Say it with me. I'm sure GLAAD has better things to do than look for propaganda in my Flash movie.
Don't sell yourself short, best CC flash so far!
This flash is such a perfect mix of the Lord of the Ring and Newgrounds/Clock Crew. The story was set up perfectly so that anyone can enjoy it, while the in-jokes flowed like wine for all the people who could spot and recognize them.
Before I say anything else I have to say what a wonderful job Nef did on the narration. In a flash like this where the narration is the main source setting the tone and delivering the story its important that it be done well and it was done perfect. The accent was spot on and the the pacing was perfect. There are so many flashes that I love, but my main complaint almost always boils down to shoddy voice acting. Its a breath of freash air to watch a flash where the voice acting is done so brilliantly.
The graphincs were also beautiful, detailed, and stylistically very fitting. You did a grat job of taking different clocks and redesigning them into the LOTR world. There were a few moments where the characters looked and animated very flat, but those moments hardly detracted from the rest of the film. Also I also appreciate the effort you put into redoing all the Newgrounds menus instead of just using a screenshot.
Overall I am immensely impressed, I was betting on The Void III to be the best flash today, but this may just top it. Its not out yet though so well just have to wait and see.

Thanks for the good review! <3
Wow! Best Clock Day Submission in a long time
This was an amazing flash; I wasn't expecting something this good on clockday but you've obviously but much effort into this. Although it is a direct parody of Lord of The Rings it's been done so well that I don't even care. I hope that you do turn this into an entire series!...way to bring back the clocks
Wow
Don't usually vote that high. Really good work. My fave clock day film so far.
