I haven't known about this movie for too long, but I come back to it more than I can remember. I don't know, something about taking "wholesome" and/or "retro" animation and making it absurdly crude always gives me the giggle pits.

Anyways, thanks for making this! You guys did a stellar job! It's one of my favorites!

A certified hood classic. Minecraft parodies have their place in the echelons of art, but this parody of those parodies perfectly counteracts the nauseating glut of parody content for the game on the Internet. To say it's "of its time" grossly miscategorizes its effectiveness: this video is definitely (and unabashedly) a reaction to the previously aforementioned nauseating glut of Minecraft parodies, but its tempered use of extreme violence and disturbing situations to hammer a point across about the commoditization and "kidification" of Minecraft on websites like YouTube still rings heavy to this very day. It's a timeless Newgrounds (and in general) way of saying, "Don't section people up into groups for the sake of profit. We're individuals with wide varieties of taste. Stop treating us like children.".

Maybe that's too deep a dive into a Minecraft parody parody... but I don't think it is. After all, a review should look at a piece of art critically, try to understand what it's trying to say (whether it's trying to say anything at all or not), and judge if what it's doing is as effective as what it's trying to be.

To cut back on waxing poetic about the animation's legacy, the final product is just as impressive! It looks pleasantly clean, there's a lot of attention-to-detail put in the comedic timing of the animation itself, the voice actor says his lines with impeccable cadence and endless replayability value (seriously, I remember having these lines stuck in my head FOREVER), the music and sound effects are well-done, well-timed and familiar without overpowering the animation itself or being insulting musically or physically... uh, did I miss anything?

In short: this animation was grotesquely hilarious when I first watched it years ago, and it's just as fresh and poignant today. Excellent work, all!

Wow. For years, I thought I just IMAGINED seeing this video on YouTube. As it turns out, this fever dream is REAL and will (hopefully) be on Newgrounds forever! Seriously, I'm VERY impressed! It's JUST as fascinating as I remember! This video alone is like if Vivziepop wasn't a patronizing tryhard and actually created animations by the creed "ars gratia artis"! Plus, Emily's got singing chops! Beautiful!

There's a lot of conflicting information about Emily, so I don't know what to believe, but wherever she is now, I hope she's doing alright.

I (generally) love everything about this game! The graphics are smooth, the music is wacky, the sounds are fun... I found myself loudly chuckling at the "hide" function! :-)

Of course, it's not perfect. My controls would get stuck, or my ostriches would get stuck on walls, or I would get stuck on walls, etc. In one level, an ostrich got stuck somewhere, but the level still counted all ostriches. Also, I would've liked a control layout of some sort built into the game; for example, I instinctively used the D-pad rather than WASD to control the ostrich.

Despite all these tiny problems, I was still able to get all 73 ostriches!

It's a short (understandable, because it was made for a jam), but surprisingly tough game. It's a very wholesome experience, too! Bravo to everyone involved! In fact, I would LOVE to see more of this game in the future!

Well, I liked it... until the game stopped, then ended. I was expecting a fun and challenging high score game like Helicopter (a Flash game from the early 2000s), but ended up with this.

Look, I get that it's supposed to be some sort of artsy-fartsy nonsense, but that's a total cop-out for what could've been a competent web browser game.

At least the graphics are good. They remind me of Nidhogg. Oh, and the music / sounds are good, too. They remind me of Temple Run / Commodore 64, respectively.

In short, I'm pretty disappointed.

This is probably accurate. Also, I really liked the voices. Good game!

Awesome track! VERY smooth! I don't know how you made this, but that organ / flute combo is FIRE! In fact, everything about this song is excellent! Great job!

Awesome track! Chill, with a funky chip-styled beat! This might be an obscure reference, but this reminds me of the main theme of an old Nitrome game called 'Sandman' (https://youtu.be/YXjiSZYMVlA). I love that song, and I love this, too! It's DEFINITELY gonna be stuck in my head many times in the future!

Also, quick question: would it be possible to make a perfectly looped version of this song? That would be fantastic!

I love it! It sounds like redux Yoshi's Island music.

To answer the description: I want BOTH... the latter straight from the source! ;)

brazilian miku my beloved
i wish brazil was real 😔

I can't look at this character without thinking of your 'Wholesome Kirby image' video on YT. It's scarred me for life.

Not like this drawing, though. It's very cute and actually wholesome. Great job!
