Hello! It's been awhile. Here is our new Independence Day themed cartoon just in time for July 4th, the United States day of independence. This is the first cartoon to use our improved eye technology. Enjoy.

Very funny!

There are a couple areas that could be sped up a bit -when the pile of stuff goes up in flames, for example- but overall v. funny. And yes, the eyes don't look that creepy at all.

YAY! But yeah, timing is hard. Thank you!

Quite enjoyable. The "pew pew pew" made me laugh much harder than it it probably should have.

I'm Back!!!!
Up Yours!
I'm Back!!!!
Up Yours!


Pew Pew Pew!!!

That IS the true spirit of independence!!!

Loved it!!!

I watched the whole thing and completely forgot to look at the eyes. I had to go back and watch again! This means the EYES ARE AWESOME. They don't register as "different" at all. Much much improved.

I'm glad everybody likes it.
The "pew pew pew" came courtesy of Nick's wondrous vocal chords.

Happy Blast Injury Day, everybody!

HA! HA! You have a great sense of humor. You had me laughing quite a few times with this one. Just a few of the humorous gems you came up with, the "Will Smith" UFO scarecrow, leaving out milk and computer virus's for the aliens, and the "what if you want the .... probing?" all had me cracking up. Everything moves along very quickly, there were no uncomfortably slow sequences which are the death sentence for humor where timing is everything. Whatever workflow/techniques you are using to animate the cropped photos of faces and arms/hands is looking VERY good (nice work on lip synching too).

Question? At 1:08 his Ninja Turtle shirt design is transposed (mirror image) was that intentional, just curious...

Thank you for the good review.
The Turtles are flipped because we took the photos before we realized the when we flip Nick so he is facing the other way in the when he in in profile the Turtles are backward. Occasionally he remains flipped when we face him forward again. It happens all the time with Will, too, but he is more symmetrical.
