1st: 3/3 (+1 bonus point)

JAY'S DAY is the 2nd episode of RATBASTERDZ. After watching UNDERGROUND, I feel like at this point it's already shaping up to become 'one of the greats' alongside Monkey Wrench etc. Keep up the good work!

2nd: 2/3

Previously covered The State Hound last week in the infamously locked P-bot thread. This one was from November 2021. It's more stylized, but it's also ~50% shorter. Still very well-animated though.

3rd: 0/3

7 seconds long, though Kirby is still very well-animated, despite the movie being better suited towards YT Shorts and not Newgrounds.

4th: 1/3

This is a trailer for a fighting game of some sort (most likely MUGEN). The intro animation reuses a lot of background assets from SpongeBob. The animation is meant to be nostalgic (ie. 2000s Flash animation), but just ends up looking amateurish by today's standards, even with Flash.

The game itself also isn't on Newgrounds, so reviewing it here would be out of my jurisdiction.

5th: 3/3 + 1 bonus point

A very well-animated 10 minute short film about robots beaming shit to each other. It's meant to represent autism...

You know what? Just watch the movie.. Not only is it well-animated, but

This is my call to put it on the front page and keep it there for at least 2 weeks! Because 5th place is no place.

Overall, today's picks are extremely mixed. On one hand, two amazing movies bordering on perfection, and one that's also good, but on the other, two (relatively speaking) stinkers.

Total Score: 11/15 (70%)

Best/Favourite:

#5 + #1 (tied), then #2, then #4, in that order:
