Gurkels Revenge - Thanksgiving    29 August 2009

BIG HUGS! † God Speed You Love! †

That was really dull.

I just think it might have been funnier to have an obviously distinct Gurkle (maybe super geeky or akward or some other thing who embarasses his dad - don't have to say it's Gurkle, just give him a trait or very distinct look that carries over - or even a 'healed wound') who comes back versus a detective turkey out of a family of non-descript turkeys I don't care about.

Once a turkey showed up in a detective outfit I assumed that was Gurkle - and yes, as the one with the leaves was the last to be shot, I assumed that may have been Gurkle as well (or possibly one of the others survived, but that was 'probably' the one that was it. But - I actually had assumed one of the other turkeys was Gurkle -before- the shooting, as there was no indicator 'which was Gurkle'. And yet he comes back with detective knowledge, older?, yet having looked at fresh? tracks.

On plot - I liked the idea of a detective, the tire/care explanation was my favorite bit. I would have liked to see more of gurkle's personality in the begginning, or at least had him distinguishable, because I was not sure which turkey he was and was not even sure if he had survived. The potty humor drawing at the end - didn't really add - and the bit with the mom screaming and then being 'ok' fell flat rather than being 'funny' - I think you have to be careful with joking around with mothers.

rather than professional flash vector illustration. Changing the color palatte or adding in a third shade tone might have helped as well - but bolder, varied lines, maybe even some screen tone patterns would have fixed the mspaint issue.

Actually, I agree that it does look like it was drawn in paint. The key is in the weight strength of your lines. Flash has a beautiful ability to make strokes that vary in weight strength - so you can use blocks of color, even bright color, and yet still anchor your figures and give substance to the scene. There is hardly any line variation in this -at least not dramatic enough to be noticeable, and so it looks like thin 'outlines' painted with a fill tool in paint, rather than professional flas

This truly captures the spirit of Thanksgiving XD

This is brilliant. Truly captured the classic "animation for adults" genre. Nice job. For all the haters about the animation or the plot, you need to take lessons from this video. These guys know what they are doing and will make a living at it. You, on the other hand, will support their career's progress by purchasing the very material they produce when it becomes mainstream. I weep for your lack of foresight, and I pray for your rotting mind. Ed, keep up the GREAT work,

The Animation was pathetic, the lip syncing was terrible ! The concept was just horrendous And it looks as if you drew it using ms paint. Complete Fail!
