Took a while to catch on to what was really going on, but once you do it's a great story. Feels like maybe things could've been clearer at the start though. With dialog? With more focus on details, like what message the guy receives before he takes off? It's nicely animated, and ends great, but not as clear plot progression as I think it could have. Keep up the good work!

The story originally had more scenes which helped explaining what was going on. We sadly had to cut them due to the deadline coming closer and closer. We also went for no dialogue on purpose. We wanted to challenge ourselves to make a story without any.
Thank you for your review CyberDevil! I will be sure to keep it in mind for the next one!
Curly sparklebud that sounds like the name of the villain.
It is a nice little film. The artwork is a little rough around the edges e.g. the dutch police car. the plot is well made and clear. you girls are also capable of bringing the message to the viewers without using words. kudos. i do feel like gay superheroes/vilains in the netherlands are a tad surreal but hey whatever makes you tic. using clever dutch details also added to the surreal feeling. I do think the ending is well chosen and during the ending that wanted portrait is a nice detail
music is well chosen but is it referring to the flight of the bumblebee?
TL;DR overall a nice film, rushed and with lots of room for improvement
But I am not the villain!
They don't have names in the story, but we used to call the hero 'Star Bob' and our villain 'Slechte Rik' (Bad guy).
We also went for the Dutch thing because it isn't used much.
That aside, thank you for the review Walkerke! Much appreciated!
This was a cool animation I honestly maybe a tad bit longer...--Also I had a bit of trouble realizing the female was the female I feel like her hair should've been in a pony tail the whole time. Cool plot and it was funny- I do feel like she should have given him another chance and broke him out but in a good way. XD All in all that was a pretty cool and funny animation =).
Thanks for the review LaLaL00psy!
But I can see why you had a hard time recognizing our hero as a female because it is in fact a male character! It's a gay couple! We both gave them slight female characteristics and I think that that is what threw you of. (Not that boobs make a character female by instant, but you see the guy putting on a shirt in the very first scene, if it was a girl we would have given him a bra to wear!)
And, there was originally much more to the story. The animatic was 4 minutes long, but we had to cut it due to the deadline. But I am glad to hear you enjoyed it regardless! :)
I will upload the animatic to newgrounds as well later on!
