Tony Crynight is the Reason Why My Parents Divorced

[jevirat · 10/10 · 25 September 2023]

May 1st, I recall opening my laptop and pushing my sister to the floor. She ran away, and I went onto youtube. I was looking for something other than "Minecraft Xbox Bully Videos" when I was lucky enough to stumble upon his channel. When I tell you that this is the only thing I watched for an entire year, my friends begged to see me again, my mother begged me to come down each night at dinner, but I was loyal. I especially loved the story of the dogs, I never did get to see the ending. And where can I find that book? I looked in Barnes and Nobles but they kept shooing me away. In conclusion I have eight tattoos, and no regrets as well as multiple STDs and stage 3 Lung Cancer. (P. S. I asked them to make my "Make A Wish" your book but they didn't know what I was talking about. And my parents started crying, for some reason.)

Greatest piece of cinema

[exonskt · 10/10 · 20 November 2023]

The attention to detail in this movie is truly commendable. The animation not only captivates with its stunning visuals but also maintains a level of consistency that elevates the entire viewing experience. Each frame is a work of art, and the seamless integration of CGI and traditional animation techniques showcases the dedication of the animators.

One aspect that particularly stands out is the voice acting. The cast delivers performances that breathe life into the characters, making them feel genuine and relatable. The vocal nuances and emotional range of the actors contribute significantly to the film's success. You can sense the passion and commitment in every line, adding depth to the characters and making their journey all the more engaging.

What sets this movie apart is its clever use of references. The nods to "Citizen Kane" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" not only pay homage to cinematic and musical classics but also demonstrate a profound understanding of popular culture. These references are not mere Easter eggs; they are woven seamlessly into the narrative, enriching the story and creating layers of meaning for those who catch them.

The subtleties in the storytelling are another aspect that makes each rewatch a rewarding experience. The carefully crafted dialogue, the symbolism hidden in the background, and the foreshadowing contribute to a narrative depth that reveals itself gradually. It's a testament to the filmmakers' commitment to creating a multi-dimensional and thought-provoking story.

Moreover, the pacing of the movie is masterful. It allows the audience to absorb the details while maintaining a dynamic flow that keeps the excitement alive. The soundtrack complements the visuals and narrative perfectly, enhancing the overall cinematic experience.

In essence, this movie is a masterpiece that goes beyond mere entertainment. It's a celebration of the art of filmmaking, a symphony of visuals, sound, and storytelling that resonates with audiences on multiple levels. With its meticulous attention to every aspect of production, from animation to voice acting and cultural references, it has rightfully earned its place among the pinnacles of cinematic achievement. Each viewing not only unveils new layers but also reaffirms the brilliance of this cinematic gem.

A Nostalgic Piece of FNAF Media

I grew up watching this movie when it was first being released as individual parts (there were 17 made) I absolutely adore Tony's animation style. He deserves a lot of respect for making a 40 minute animated feature BY HIMSELF with the exception of some minor background work and the voice actors. Speaking of the actors, they too do a stunning job. Hayley Nelson and Jonathon Jones in particular stand out to me the most. The characters are also given their own personalities compared to the original animatronic characters in the source material of Five Nights at Freddy's. Freddy is sarcastic, Bonnie is adorkable, Chica is a little angry at first but gets better, Foxy is caring and protective, Mangle is sweet and has a bit of low self-esteem. She's also arguably the main character of the animation, having the most development in my personal opinion. I feel really bad for her :( Definitely a character who'd you want to give a hug to after going through something insane. Springtrap is the absolute definition of vengeance and is an ass throughout the entire time he's on screen, but at the same time, his cunning demeanor makes him a likeable villain. He's also got a tragic backstory involving him and his good ol' pal Fredbear. The animation gets better over time and it's emotional to watch, not just because of the story, but because here we see Tony Crynight evolve as an animator. He should be proud. The only complaints that I'd say I have with the series is that I feel like the voice acting should have appeared sooner in the movie. The first 10 minutes have no dialogue whatsoever, but it's not a big deal. Tony is able to prove to us that he can animate the character movements and expressions well without the need for dialogue, and you can easily tell what's going on. People may say that this film is cheesy and while that technically is not incorrect, this will always be cherished by me and many others as well. A truly remarkable entry of a fan film for the Five Nights fandom and remarkable for any indie animation on YouTube in general. The fact that nostalgia takes over me when watching also helps with my ranking of 10/10 stars. Won't give any spoilers but I will say for the ending that it is a bit interesting and most definitely has room to be expanded upon. Would love to see Tony do more with season 2, but quite honestly I have no idea where Tony's gonna go with that, but I wish him the best of luck!

epic!!!

This movie was A W E S O M E !!!!! I showed it to all of my friends but they called me weird and told me to leave them alone for some reason. I don't really understand why. But one of my friends thinks it's pretty cool too. I watched this movie 3 times and my mom walked in on me and she refused to talk to me for the rest of the day. I've been waiting years for the 2nd fnaf movie from tony crynight, it's that good.

(by the way this movie has better reviews than the actual fnaf movie does, i never saw foxy and mangle kiss in the real fnaf movie so that's probably why).

10/10 would watch again.

Changed my life.

Greatest of all time. Zenith of the medium. Hallmark of media. Gold standard of storytelling. Apogee of creativity. Vertex of invention. Crest of ingenuity. Acme of imagination. Pinnacle of innovation. Epic of epics. Legend among legends. Fiction peaked. This movie has single-handedly changed my life, it has the best animation in all of fiction, I don't think anything will ever compare to this film, this film has ruined all of my favorites as I realized how none of them are as good as this, it's almost as good as Kagura Bachi. Thank you Tony Crynight, you've single-handedly made the best movie of all time, I hope you release you the sequel soon so I can edge to it.

From your biggest fan- Quinxy.
