This was a decent effort. I like the old school video game look and all. I just have a few issues.
For a start. Germans should not be called Bill or Bob or Frank... They should be Manfred, Gunter, Franz.... There is no random comedy value in that. It's hard to laugh at something that makes absolutely no sense. I am sure there are Germans named Bill, I just feel that in the interest of you starting a series, you should maybe work on accuracy from that point. I would if I was starting a series.
Secondly, you need sound so bad. That was painfully quiet to watch. The text was impossible to read or understand half the time. It looks like you did things as you were going and without any plan. If you are planning on more GI Jimmy episodes, write them out. Make a story for starters and don't count on an idea to be all you need. If you plan ahead your story, it will flow much smoother and have a sense of purpose.
Not trying to be a jerk and critical. I just want to see you do the best you are capable of because it looks like you have some talent. Try again. I am not rating this highly because of all I have said, but if you re-submit it and have fixed the issues, I can assure you that it will get a much better rating from me. Cheers.

Not great, but not bad. I didn't get much of a laugh out of it. I did chuckle when the plane is hit and starts to go down. That was really very well animated I might add. You have some serious ability, just all you need to do is build up a plot of some kind and follow it through.
Random is only funny when it happens in short bursts. If you take too long it doesn't have the same effect. Some of the funniest things on here are movie parody's and such. They stuff all the movie into a minute or two. It's very quick and you laugh because the speed of how things hit you. Before you even really know what you just say, bang! you get another random scene.
I only mention it because you mention below that the point of not having a plot was to make it funny.
Keep up the good work though and keep at it. I think you have real potential!

The first half animation was crap but you salvaged it nicely in the second half. I thought it was pretty funny, overall the art was pretty decent, it was brief, it was amusing it was good. I just found the computer voices were kinda crummy. If you did voice acting, it would have been better. Good work overall though.

"Just like the first one you have hit a home run!"
Kevin without his snowy friend becomes a peeping tom/stalker to a small girl named Mary eh? lol.
This was very well done again. Once again I enjoyed your animation, it's good. Don't be so hard on yourself. The music works well with it by setting the mood and directing the story. I find most flash without vocals that are like this are always well done. The artist generally makes sure he finds a tune that fits the mood and moves the story forward. I like the little story itself. I am not into the cutesy stuff myself but I will tell you that it warms the heart seeing Kevin finally realize his dream of a friend... A real one not made out of snow either... lol.
Part 3 he will try to find the perfect pet right? Trying out all kinds of animals till he finds the goldfish of his dreams... After being mauled by a dog and scratched by a cat. lol.
The only thing I wonder is if you make a part 3 which I assume is going to be in summer, will he still be wearing the damn parka? I live in Canada and when it gets to about 5 outside after a cold winter, people start walking around in t shirts and shorts. lol...
Well done though, very well done! Keep up the good work.

Your animation isn't bad. I thought it was good. Your music fit the mood. It was a cute, heartwrenching and moving tale that you spun with visuals and music. Very very well done!

Good work. I love animations without vocals in them. I also like the nice little touch of Garfield on the cereal bowl.... because he hates mondays too... lol

Where is the base I am defending? I would call this game "Little dude running around shooting slow moving airplanes" before I would call it base defender.
Was ok... played better, I've played worse.
