1st: 2/3
Based on Sonic 06: Found out this is a clip animated from a Lythero video, which is linked in the YouTube upload.
And it turns out the YouTube version includes more clips.

Still looks like a lot of work went into this and the other Lythero clips. Shame only one of them made it here whilst YouTube got the lot. Talk about foreign power!
2nd: 3/3
So a big Godzilla-esque monster burns through a city, bites off and eats its own arm, and then all of a sudden, starts promoting champagne?
Very weird and experimental, and I like it!
3rd: 2/3
Nice monochromatic style and tile graphics, the focus is on exploration, or in other words, a lot of walking around.
There's a lot of content, however part of the intro is unskippable, and according to some reviewers, inventory items can be hard to find. Some weren't able to save their progress, as the feature reportedly doesn't work.
Funny how this is supposed to be a 2-bit (4 shades of grey) when there are some objects that are green (ie. adding extra colours)
4th: 0/3
I count nine. Nine unique frames. Ah ah ah!
That being said, if you the author are reading this, I'm aware it might be your first time creating a cartoon, but I'm sorry, there just isn't that much substance given its size, even as a 20s short. Feels more like a motion comic than an animation.
But don't feel bad, there's still so much to learn, and learning can be fun!
5th: 3/3
I think it's very wholesome and well-written, though the characters are literal puppets. Shame it's only at 3.4 stars.
Overall, we're in a bit of a drought today, half of them are from newcomers, but what what we do have can still be enjoyed. Stay tuned for tomorrow's best!
