Cat War

Share Collapse

Author Comments

This is my first flash animation ever. For those who don't understand what the hell is going on in the video, the red cats are pissed off how cute the blue cats are (in my personal opinion), so they waged war against them. Think of it like Tom and Jerry, where Tom attempts to capture Jerry but keeps failing. It's the same thing, only on a bigger scale. Enjoy ^^

use your talents some other way

Sorry but I didn't really like the video.
I think that you could instead draw short, funny cartoons (possibly staring the cats).
just because, as everyone has been saying it needs a plot.
short funnies don't need plots.

That's probably a good idea. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.

I couldn't figure out what the hell was going on.

Biggest problem is that I really couldn't work out what the hell was going on - I could make out the gist of the plot, and also something about... explosive cake? But beyond that I was completely lost.

Animation is poor - is that 6 or 8 frames per second? You pretty much shouldn't ever drop below 12 - 24 is better, but demands alot of work, so yeah. 12 is fine.

So it's quite nice and oddly endearing, but yeah: incomprehensible, and bad animation.

kimerson555 responds:

Well, thanks for the advice. Yeah, the frame rate was 6.5 frames per second. It was my first flash that I made when I was bored, so I was expecting some criticism to appear. Hopefully, I'll be able to follow your advice in the near future so I can make better animations.

this is very nice

I love it,and I've read through the other reviews and I pretty much agree with what everyone's saying....the anaimation is a little iffy...but it looks nice

your drawing style is very nice,its actually got a cute look to it,and since this is about cats it fits

the music is perfect

and maybe you could ytu multiple layers,for backgrounds and such

keep this up its VERY nice

Try layers...

It looks like you made it all on one layer.

kimerson555 responds:

Your right, this was all on one layer... just goes to show how much I need to learn about Flash animation.

I really encourage things like this.

Movies like this are one of the reasons that I love Newgrounds so much. It's original and inspired, even if it's obviously a beginner's movie. It has length and substance, and even fitting music. The only real problems are the LOW frame rate and choppy animation. However, these things can be forgiven if it contributes to the style and/or even adds a bit of charm, which it does.

Keep animating. Work harder at improving your style and animation. I look to see great things from you in the future.
