While probably not to the tastes of everyone, I did find this animation rather humorous. Some snappy one liners and just amusing subject matter in general helped keep this movie alive, despite the so-so animation, although the static outline was a neat effect. Overall I think it's deserving of some recognition.

Dude, I don't know if you ment to, but that first comment about taste, dealing with a flash about swallowing sperm... pure gold!

I decided to go ahead and give this game a chance, as per your suggestion. And you were correct, it did take a significant amount of tries to get the hang of it, but eventually I did, and have grown quite wealthy simply by letting my assets grow while browsing the internet, then returning to restructure.
The overall game mechanics work well enough, though can get irritating if you build tall structures up front like hotels, making it troublsome to demolish and rebuild other structures. The whole game is amusing, but there appears to be no conclusion. Also, the wars improve population, but what exactly does the populous do? Does it affect income/food production rates? The whole thing feels kind of unfinished, a graphic number crunching game, but it did hold my attention for quite some time.
Improve upon the graphics (perhaps simple .jpeg's?, make the build icon appear as the first layer above other structure, give war a purpose and the option to have more building slots, and you may just have something here. But as a first attempt, you did an excellent job.

Oh no!
Ok, look into this about wars:
Population increase
a) Demands more food
b) Increases tax income
c) Allows for a large icon
The part about the buildings overlapping was solved already by the zone map.
You should read the instructions, if you did, I'm sorry. I encourage EVERYONE to read the instructions.
Thanks for the pretty good review, though.

I fully commend you on an exquisite job. That was one of the most well constructed, fluid, and beautifully choreographed flash animations I have ever seen. You captured the lyrics in a very moving manner, and the character style is very reminiscent of the more recent animated films. Titan A.E and Anastasia come to mind. That is of course to say, very impressive, especially for Flash.
What's even more impressive is how you managed to blend the two mediums together (your Photoshop? backgrounds and flash animations) into one seamless production. I award you with a well deserved 10. The music of course is an aquired taste, but you must look at the whole picture when reviewing. And the picture is brilliant.

Because that's exactly what this is. A blatant plagerization of a scene from the movie Kung Fu Hustle set to diffrent music. I couldn't even sit through it because it pissed me off to much to see such a great movie degraded to your lame attempts at tracing. With all the effort you put into tracing the frames, you could of came up with something original.
BLAM this worthless plagerized crap.
