Reviews for "The Tale Teller"
A beautiful poem(I teared up a little), well read and wonderfully brought to life.
The Taleteller is the best animation I've seen this year.
l have seen it at least 5 times on your youtube channel.
I really like the story ,it was so strong and emotional.
I love all the charachters and the music feets each moment perfect and the animation is fantastic!
I was watting for it to come out.
I hope you will make another animation as powerful and perfect as that Jazza, and I really love your work and content.
Keep making the amazing work in the art!!!!!
... utterly fantastic, amazing stuff. This is such a traditional piece of animation, traditional in it's story, it's themes, even it's execution (to some extent), you could even call it old-fashioned. But it doesn't <feel> old fashioned, quite far from that, it feels fresh, vibrant and delightful!
Normally I would give a long, detailed analyses in this part of the review, but I want for time, want badly... so let me just focus on a few things instead, fairly briefly:
- Firstly, really well animated and drawn, I really liked pretty much everything in this aspect, from the backgrounds, to the character designs (a lot more diverse than what you normally create, I'd say), to how the tales differ in animation and drawing style. Great stuff!
- Secondly, great narration, pure and simple. And the music, although a tad too melodramatic for me, still pretty much worked, thanks to the overall heart the animation has.
- Finally, nice poem composition, it has a good rhythm and the story, although a traditional sort of story, works very well and is interesting to listen to.
So, apologies again for the briefness, but I felt this is such a splendid animation, I had to leave a review, even if a short one like this, it reinforces my belief that NG, for all it's flaws, still has great gems to be found!
Cheers and kudos!
Such a great and powerful animation. You can really tell that so much work has gone into it. I've watched it so many times now. The story is just amazing. And the music!! Ohhhhhhhh the music! Beautiful! Very well done.
