Awesome!
One of the best flashes I have seen on Newgrounds.
The soundtrack music and voices are very good. There is a bit of distortion on the miking of the narration, perhaps miked a bit too close.
The story was the fable with a twist. Was it better this way? Well, I don't know. I wasn't surprised by this, amused, or anything else. The strengths of this flash are really in the execution. The original story is so strong, it would hold up well. In a way, the modern twist sort of detracts from the splendor of the well-made flash, cheapens it a bit. But still good.
The graphics were very good, as was the animation. Looked as good in most parts as a Japanese anime serial, the sort hurridly churned out for TV. I mean to say this is professional quality, which is very good. I would say the next step is moving up to movie quality flash style, like Nim's Winter Tale.
Still, better than 99% of what's out there. Good job!!!!
