Comedy
The One Ring To Rule Them All part 2 is one of my favorite flash animations of all time for one simple reason. It makes me laugh. This is the key it seems in the world of flash animation to gain a large fan base. If a person is genuinely humored by your animation, and likes what they see, they will pass it on to their friends, and post about it on chatrooms, and message boards, eventually becoming a cult hit. The one ring to rule them all is a Lord of the Rings parody with topical, physical, repetition, incompetance, and pop culture gags in it, along with many many others. In the first scene, it begins very dramaticly, with Sauron explaining to the audience about how he forged the one ring, THE ONE RING, TO RULE THEM ALL! and then there is a cool red eye trailing effect to make you go WOW! along with the comedy of him talking about his one ring. Then the title appears, the credits role, and the movie starts. First gag - use of Law and Order style time and place credits. Sauron announces his plans to his ... one minion, then orders him to fetch his seeing stone. Sauron starts thinking about evil and talking to himself, and becomes so preoccupied he doesnt notice when wayne (his minion) returns. Hence he is still talking to himself, kind of embarassing for him, but hilarious for us! Wayne plugs it in (of course they have plugs here in the middle of a mountain lit by torches!), and we cut to a hill with the tower over it. A sign pops out and the sound of a record scratching, saying "Wrong Hill!". Well thats enough of an explaination for now, you should go see it for yourself! It is hilarious! It gets 5 out of 5 splats for pure comedic genius!
