It was totally epic. And good luck in the TOFA contest. I bet your animation will win. Though I did enjoy One Wish Upon a Star, this movie is miles ahead in terms of art and animation. ;)

I honestly (in my opnion) didn't think it was your best tofa animation (enjoyment wise) my favourite being "Backwards Day" (but still all deserve 6/5 10-12/10)
although you're an amazing animator and for 18 days the animation was REALLY LONG and REALLY SMOOTH and ESPECIALLY EPIC :D
seeing you go freestyle is sweet

Nice Red cameo (the stuffed red cameo) I'm sure you put more but sadly I can't say I recognize them

Can't wait to see more! (and more cameos especially!)

18 days?

u deserve every bit of that praise! it was a phenomenal toon man!

it is awesome so no wonder it haves monster score :P
btw i noticed that bear bear haves 4.71 in flash portal and in ur flash submissions 4.65. weird

The thing is... you have something that the majority of Newgrounds doesn't have. It's called talent. ;)

I SWEAR! I've seen that bear elsewhere....

good work.

You didn't go over-the-top with the expressions this time! Nearly all of them were perfect. The demonic bear smiles were especially lovely.

It was so hard to hold back.

Very nice animation! i see you used the main idea from the old books for kids, corduroy, the bear who was finnaly boughten by te little girl. superb job in every way!!!!

That took 18 days? Wow.

Oh, and another thing, with those tournament related flashes, are you the guy on DA that did those Everafter flashes with Climber? Or was that some other guy that just has a similar style?

Thats someone else

Ok lol.

Looking at it, the way you do eyes is kinda similar. I remember his being like yours, so I guess I got confused. XD

Sorry for posting twice, but out of nowhere, it hit me how INSANE that is.
In two and a half weeks, you made a five minute animation with smooth fbf and a dark, engaging story with action at the end. It's taken me a month before to make a not-too-impressive mostly-tweened four-minute music video to a slow song.

Your speed and consistency in smooth animation is SICK.
Do you ever when you make movies?!

Sleep? When i make a flash movie i sleep for about 4-5 horus a day depending on what i need to do. I usually get up at 4am and work on till 4:30pm when i have to go to work. It's an advantage in having a night shift job.

There are "Digital animators" and there are "animators".

Digital animators being the folks who find ways to use programs like Flash to recycle elements and cut corners in the animating process (that would be me).

Then there are animators, true artists that don't think in terms of shortcuts, but instead focus on the story and execute it diligently and fearlessly. This would be your work. The attention to detail and the obvious dedication to each frame is what really takes my breath away (and apparently all of NG).

Such an artist is rare. Especially here.

Wonderful, wonderful work. I could only hope that one day I could help contribute to a piece of yours, whether it's voicing or background work.

As for TOFA ... they'd be fools not to select "Bear Bear". But you never know ... especially, with TOFA :P

Take a bow, you've got the number one animation on NG (All time list) ... and you deserve it :)

Cheers lad~

Do you ever sleep when you make movies?! ----Fix't for JonBro

Oh, and for my own post, you should make a few comics again. Maybe not for contests and whatnot, but just something to do in your freetime. Since people love your characters like black ace, and shrike n beebs. Would be nice to see some adventures from them. And if you can pump out a 5 minute masterpiece like Bear Bear in 18 days then a 1 day comic should be no sweat for you and yet a treat for your fans.

I hope to someday, but after TOFA i have a freelance contract i have to complete. Though i do have an idea for a short comic series...i jsut love aniamting too much.

*Thank you Supapimp.

3rd but possibly last post on this.

I can't beleive I missed this joke: "It's a Toy Story from HELL." XD

Feel the wrath of my horrible pun!!!

Just asking, when are you going to be continuing the ' Spoiler ' Series? You have left it on the abyss my friend. If you are ever going to continue it, you had better pull it from the edge quick. ^^

When i get time i shall continue it, but right now i can't

Unless you totally bomb this next cartoon, I don't see DaveBruno winning TOFA. Your FBF and line quality is just sooo superior to his that his toons just don't match up imo. The only thing he has going for him is his writing. He does deserve props for that. But as long as you maintain the style of storytelling you pulled of in Bear Bear that won't be a huge obstacle.

Be prepared for a "King of the Portal" recognition next month dude. I wouldn't be surprised if you got $250 for the top movie of the month too.
