Not bad
Kinda sounds like Flight of the Condors. Maybe that's the music? Just a guess. Anyway, yeah, it was pretty funny. The animation was not bad either. Good job.

Nice!
Great job on the animating! It's obvious a lot of work went into this, and it's really cool to see the complete work. It was pretty entertaining, and had a good selection of music. I think some more sound effects would have been nice, though, like, the click, squeak, click squeak of the old lady would have been funny. Anyway, awesome stuff, and thanks for submitting it!
Pretty good
I was suprised at the fact that you had a guy challenge a girl to fight. Back when I was in high school, that kind of stuff would be a sure ticket for the guy getting beat down by any other guys who happen to be in the area. I know there are some tough girls out there, though, so it's not like I'm saying that out of prejudice or anything; I guess it was just the culture.
The most important thing you can improve in your next one is to have all the voices at equal volume, and at a volume people can hear without turning their speakers all the way up. Other than that, you've got some solid animation skills, and I'll be looking forward to seeing you improve.
Well in my experiences, there are some cases where the guy challenged the girl. I've challenged a couple of girls back in college, but it was a playful kind of just knocking to the ground and putting wrestling moves on each other (or "nerd fight" lol). Yeah, it's more of an experience thing. Then again, this story takes place in the far, far future, so things change.
I'll take your suggestions into consideration.
Great visuals, work on animation
First of all, I need to say that you did a really great job on most of the stuff, such as the artwork, getting good voice actors and sounds, and a good storyline, but the animation of the characters needs to be more natural.
The aliens looked like they were doing squats the whole time, for example. The basic idea of what kind of motion they would have done is more or less correct, but if this motion would have been more subtle by having them not bend so much, or if certain joints would have moved in more elliptical motions rather than linear, it might have been more convincing. Also, attention needs to be paid according to importance of the scene, so for example, the part where she's breaking free should be a very scary and pivotal time, which means her motion during that time should have been more thoroughly choreographed, rather than looped with an akward-looking motion.
I think people can tend to forget that loops, although they are used in order to save time, they also have a price, that is, that the motion of the loop must be visually effective in order for people to tolerate watching it over and over again. One thing that makes a good animator is that he/she is also a good actor in that he/she knows what types of motion and poses will get the message across and also look good. Don't forget to use references for the motions to ensure it's correct (youtube is a good reference usually).
I hope my criticism doesn't sound too harsh; I'm just saying these things because it looks like you have a lot of potential and a great starting point for this series, and I'd love to see the kinks smoothed out so that we can have another highly successful series here on NG. Good luck on the next episode, and I'll be looking forward to it.
lol awesome!
Great job! I wasn't sure how good it would be when I saw the title screen, but once it got started, the artwork and animation was pretty impressive. Hilarious timing and dialogue too.
Whoa!
I'm not much of a Harry Potter fan, but this is very well put together! The perspectives were creative and effective, and the sound was pretty well synced. Great job!
It's hilarious!
This movie was awesome! Good job on the timing and the claymation. Yeah, the animation wasn't smooth, but it was a cute presentation. Good job! Claymation rules!
beleive me, it WAS smooth before it was imported into flash... CURSE YOU MACROMEDIA FLASH MX 2004, WITH YOUR RUBBISH VIDEO IMPORTER!!! lol
I'm here because I'd like to put in my two cents worth about the artists who deserve recognition, and the ones that are just stupid. Also, I like making my own art once in a while, so one of these days maybe you'll see something I made up here.
