Crayon Dragon
VERDICT: A beautiful short told entirely through music and facial expression and when you get to know me better that's my favourite sort of animation. The colour palette flows seamlessly together matching perfectly with the music. This is definitely one of my favourite shorts I've seen. It'll probably in my Top 10 for this year. And come on he dragon is just plain adorable :3 10/10

Do's and Don'ts - Veganism
VERDICT: This was a great episode of Do's and Don'ts showcasing this shows great sense of humour. Mixing the 1950s PSA with more "unconventional" topics is put on full display in it's true glory. But while Susie shines in this episode the vegan Gretchen feels under-utilized. I just feel the creators could have pushed that character a little bit more but she's still very funny. Overall a great episode of Do's and Don'ts. I also love the Susie's reaction when she gets punched. 8/10

Motion PXL - The Lovers
by Nacho Rodriguez and Gina Thorstensen
VERDICT: Another very beautiful musical short using a mixture of stop motion animation and drawn animation. The song is very emotional creating the feelings of blooming love and the trials that love most go through that perfectly matches the animation. While the animation is beautiful it goes into the WTF territory for a great deal of the video especially when it shows the bird-thing made out of fruit. but then again the WTF animation makes the piece all the more memorable. If your in the mood for a romantic animation then check The Lovers out. 9/10
Bubbles and Me - Pilot
VERDICT: I'm usually not into any sort of drug cartoons because quite honestly that's possibly the least funny subject to write about unless you put it to the MAJOR extreme and luckily for this cartoon it's at the VERY extreme. The art style of the cartoon is very detailed and distinct especially with Bubbles the bong and his cute little bow tie. The animation flows stupendously. The flow reminds me of the fluid animation of Harry Partridge cartoons but this has a rougher edge to it which gives it a little personality. The art style overall looks like something from a children's book (if it weren't already clear with the final title card at the very end) which I do like. The humour on the other hand... pretty standard stuff nothing that made me laugh out loud but it was amusing. Bubbles and Me I can see having a few episodes to it but not to many. I just don't think at this point the creator has many more humour avenues to turn to. It's just overall okay with only the animation making it stand out. 7/10

Dick Figures - Ocho Muerte
VERDICT: Quite honestly this is a one of the weakest episodes of Dick Figures I've seen but Red and Blue are still a hilarious duo and save this from being just plain dull. I think Pink is the worst character in this series I don't hate her but her attitude seems to suck all the fun out of the jokes. Her character doesn't shine unless she's being a whiny bitch like Terminat-her. Ocho Muerte is flawed but still pretty funny. 6/10
Mr.Weebl - Shrimp
Animated by Sexual Lobster
VERDICT: Mr. Weebel once again his created a perfect song that you want to endlessly replay as of this writing I've watched it 50 times in the background as I was working. The animation just seals the deal. From the warped mind of Sexual Lobster who created such awesome vids as Donut Quest and Destiny Man. He even worked on a previous vid for Mr. Weebel called Babies. I liked babies a lot more then I did Shrimp but Shrimp still kicks a lot of ass. 8/10

SHUT UP! Cartoons - Zombies vs. Ninjas - HATERZ Gonna Hate
VERDICT: Simply this has been the best episode of Zombies vs. Ninjas thus far. Great comedic timing, excellent animation, and a hilarious ending to put a bow on top. Like I said in my spotlight of Zombies vs. Ninjas this is basically Robot Chicken if it had an over arching story. That just equals comedic genius. 9/10
Game Program Attack! - Mineshaft
VERDICT: From the creators of Destructo Box (which was funny but not really my taste of show) we have the fourth instalment of Game Program Attack. This series is on the same level as Low Brow Studios (who PS. I LOVE). This episode has simply perfect comedic timing, wonderful asshole characters, a beautiful pixel style animation, and just simply a fantastic parody of Dig Dug. My favourite out of the four episodes by far. Definitely check out the rest of Game Program Attack if you haven't yet. 10/10

Dallas Heck - Pilot
By Hustin Shatraw & Louis Rigolosi
VERDICT: Dallas Heck is a great Indiana Jones parody. Mostly due to the beautiful animation done by the creators fantastic animation team. The art style is very reminiscent of one of those cheesy detective comics sprinkled with the mythos of Indiana Jones. The humour of this series feels like it'll land into exploiting Dallas Heck's stupidity and body humour like someone pissing their pants. This overall makes the humour more standard but it still has great timing and the animation is fantastic. 7/10
