Okay but not spectacular
I thought it was decent but not that good. A lot of the jokes just wern't that good. The voice quality was also poor. It could have been worse but it was nothing to write home about
Reviews for "WoW: When Gnomes Fly"
I loved it
I dont like wow but i still thought it was cool and funny
Redefining what can be considered uninteresting.
It's been quite a long time since you've produced anything to submit to Newgrounds. Long enough that I actually wondered where you'd disappeared to at one point, and came to the conclusion that you must have been improving on that same repetitive design that you use in all your Flashes. Trying something with a hint of originality for once, improving on you animation techniques, perhaps. Unfortunately this is not true. This is the first thing you've ever submitted where I was actually expecting a decent result, instead of when you were churning out this stuff on a regular basis and I already knew it would be garbage before I watched it. You have let me down once again this time, since apparently all that time you've spent away from making movies was not spent trying to improve them in any way. You come back after your hiatus and submit the same cookie-cutter, video game based, motion tweened dreck with failed attempts at humor, just like every other movie you've made in the past few years.
Nothing of your animation has been improved upon. Even the fans of your work I've talked to will admit that your movies aren't even remotely humorous, almost at the level of the degenerate garbage that Wonchop comes up with, say that the only reason your movies are even notable is because of your fine ability to animate them, despite a lack of content. I would say this is misguided. You're one of the few animators I know that has not moved past the comfortable ground of using nothing but motion tweens, never having to exert any effort to produce quality content, since you know most people can't tell the difference. What you make is hardly animation. Taking an arm or leg and telling Flash to move it from point A to point B is not a difficult thing to do, and you've been doing it for so long that I'm surprised that it took you so long to create this. It's not like there's any breathtaking scenery or artwork that you spent all that time drawing, just generic parts for your characters and maybe a poorly drawn castle and some mountains in the background.
Your voicework is noticably bad. Usually I don't notice or care if the voice acting is terrible, but it really stood out here. Something that's never worked well for any animator is making their main character have an intolerably aggravating voice, and it doesn't work here either. High pitched and nasal-sounding isn't something to aspire for in character design, regardless of physical characteristics or personality. The viewer has to be able to tolerate listening to what he's watching in order for him to give it fair judgement, pissing him off the entire time tends to have a negative effect. Same goes for every other voice in this as well. Poorly carried out vitriolic tone of voice for your "rebel" girl, poorly carried out Jamaican accent for what I guess was an orc, and poorly carried out stereotypical gay person voice at the end.
The thing is, none of that really matters to me. I can see past all that if you have a good plot for the whole thing, but that's where this really fails. You went through your usual brainstorming session with your base of "Hey, I'll make a Flash about a video game!" then for some reason decided "It will be about a really annoying gnome, who makes fun of some orcs, then jetpacks over a mountain." Take that plot line, add the worst comedy available to man, and you come up with this. An incredibly bland, unpleasant Flash.
Actually improve on something for once. Making the same movie over and over again is the same crap that illwillpress pulls, and that's not something to aspire to. Make something not based off a video game, or if you're going to, at least get someone else to write the script for you, and get some decent voice actors.
"you smell of elf ears"
this is so funny. keep it up.
lmao
im not a fan of WoW but that was some funny shit lol i liked the orc: "THINK OF THE SAVINGS!" the ending was odd the gnome being picked up bya gay elf *shivers* and then to the orc:"CHICKEN!" lmao great work man :)
