this is a great example of the type of flash movies people should be submitting to the portal. flash was the perfect medium for this movie. all of the elements work very well. there were some impressive camera moves. the story was simple, but you told it so well. the animation felt a bit too loose in some areas (e.g. the doll underwater) but that's just me being picky. also, you definitely know how to use gradients in a visually pleasing manner. awesome job overall.

+ the animation was very nice, very smooth. top notch.

+ i loved the silhouetted army. nice touch.

* great ending with the llama. left me wanting more.

* i liked the text additions during the movie. spunked up the movie's personality.

- the goat run cycle felt a lil bit over used. it would've been cool if he did something else when he got hit with the objects other than just being mr. steel and taking 'em like they're nothing.

- i'm not sure if the intro text is really necessary. it's funny but kinda slows down the pace of the movie.

overall: i was impressed with the animation. you also brought a good, funny twist to the usual good vs evil battle; a goat and llamas. who can hate a fight between a goat and llamas??

lemme get my suggestions in first before my good stuff.

- all or almost all of the shots in the movie had no perspective; they were either top, front, back, or side. working in flash, it's not the easiest thing to animate in perspective, but you gotta have at least some shots in perspective to make it more dynamic.

- i think the next step for you is to really focus on composition in the next episode. for example, in episode 2, an up shot of slash would've made his entrance a lot more dramatic. once again, it's all going back to perspective.

- in your profile, it says that you're 16. but it's never too early to start on a portfolio. start on some of your own ideas/stories. TMNT is awesome but you can't put that in your portfolio.

now to the good stuff...

- the graphics were awesome. the TMNT look like who they're supposed to be. shredder looked cool. i'm looking forward to the slash sequence.

- the voice acting was great. good job.

- the animation for the most part was pretty smooth. the rafael fight sequence was well done.

all in all, this movie is pretty good. just work on making it more dynamic. it feels like you're right on the edge of the diving board. take some risks in your next episode.
