yay prelude to joy ^_^
ah here it is, the prelude to joy... the original... the one that began it all :0 just looking at the preloader sends memories flooding back to me! randomness is something that you manage to pull of very nicely :D its very peaceful on the first part, dispite death and evil hands and whatnot, but then suddenly my mind goes, and then the music starts, and a hero is born. how i love and ADORE that fox, he's so cute :3 always going off to such great heights. oh yes, and delicious bacon, so greasy, so wonderful. and then the part i remember best for some reason, which you don't seem to like a whole lot, the snailtrix, so silly, it's great. the musical gears and factory is also a lovely scene, some smooth fbf work. for some reason, the gradients on the toad's moonish planet has always bugged me :/ but that's okay. luigi shooting mario with the birdo was pretty clever i must admit. oh yes, how did i forget about the fbf part near the end? the part you showed me long before the toon was out. i caught myself dancing along with it, even has a couple cameo's, always good :D then at last we move onto the wonderful, charming, happy eye part, then the end. but of course, a very clever ending to such an odd and strange cartoon :P the music at the end is also quite wonderful. you always have such great music, and since you have so many good songs, a 10 out of 10 is mandatory pretty much :P great work on the first prelude :) its a shame some hippo and to come ruin two and three :P
