1st: 2/3

The entire movie has a really creepy feel to it. In just one shot, there's a girl in front of a TV screen, and each time she changes the channel, something else pops up. IDK if this is supposed to be a commentary on life

I loved KEY-MAN and Son of the Musk, but it seems like there's been a bigger push towards Shorts and shorter videos in general (ie. like on YouTube and Instagram). Hope you're still working on that cactus animation!

2nd: 0/3

The actual animation itself is 15 seconds: After doing a bit of digging, I've figured out it's not worth giving any points.

Moral: If the biased buttman gives it a buck, don't give a fuck.

3rd: 1/3

Castlevania fan animation: This was made for the series' 35th anniversary (a while ago). The actual animation is ~35 seconds long, not counting the outro.

The first 11 seconds is in colour, but includes some level of motion tweening, then the rest becomes black and white and significantly rougher, almost as if it's been rushed. But hey, it's the thought that counts!

4th: 2/3

This is a 3D animated short featuring the usual Loose Ends cast in a cinema watching a 2D movie. Love a little experimental retro-3D every now and then, and this is fun ride too!

However I couldn't help but notice some previous episodes being removed from Newgrounds, for some reason, including Portal ID #777777.

5th: 3/3

This is a scene for a YouTuber's Pokemon collab

Despite being ~30 seconds, it's still very clean and well-animated.

Honorable Mention: Mixed Signals (yesterday's 5th place)

STILL not on the front page

EDIT: Spoke too soon!

Overall, today's picks are mostly short, but still watchable.

Total Score: 8/15 (51%)

Best/Favourite:

#4, #1, #5, #3, in that order:
